NEW YORK — Social media has been abuzz with speculation about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s personal life, with unsubstantiated rumors circulating that the New York congresswoman is pregnant. Prominent social media figures have fueled these claims, even though no evidence has been provided to support them, and Ocasio-Cortez has not commented on the matter.

Social media is abuzz with speculation, as the in-form MP appears to have filled out a bit in recent weeks. Many female posters on social media claim that their wife’s intuition is proof enough.

Polymarket says there is a 25% chance it is and that rate is increasing daily.

In a recent article, right-wing activist Laura Loomer suggested that Ocasio-Cortez was hiding a pregnancy for political reasons. “The election is over,” Loomer wrote on social media. “You can come out and finally admit that you are pregnant. Or do you wait until the 9th month to abort? Loomer’s comments were widely shared, sparking further discussion across all platforms.

Other social media users, including conservative commentators, echoed Loomer’s speculation. One user, going by the handle Officer Lew, wrote: “AOC is definitely pregnant btw. She won’t announce it until after the election, which is not good for the pro-abortion message.” Another, Shawn Farash, added: “There is no doubt in my mind that AOC is pregnant… But she can’t admit it… because her rabid supporters would demand an abortion as some sort of symbolic thing.” »

One commenter jokingly noted that she was recently with first gentleman Doug Emhoff in Las Vegas. An inappropriate joke about Emhoff’s sexual encounter with the family’s nanny years ago.

The statements are part of a broader online discourse targeting Ocasio-Cortez, a frequent subject of criticism among conservative commentators. Some social media users pointed out her recent public appearances, alleging that she appeared “swollen” or showed signs of pregnancy.

However, these claims remain speculative, with no confirmation or evidence provided by Ocasio-Cortez or any official sources.

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York’s 14th Congressional District, has not released any statement regarding the rumors. His office did not respond to requests for comment on recent speculation about his personal life.

This isn’t the first time Ocasio-Cortez’s private life has come under public scrutiny. The congresswoman, known for her outspoken stances on progressive issues, has been the subject of intense media attention and criticism from political opponents since her election to Congress in 2018. Public figures, particularly women in politics, are frequently subject to personal and unfounded speculation, a trend that Ocasio-Cortez herself has previously condemned.

At this time, there is no verified information to support these rumors, and they appear to be based solely on public speculation.
