AOC Says She'll Never Date A Republican

Could I ask, would you ever date a conservative? Is that anything you'd ever entertain? Um, I have to say it's, uh, probably not. Don't date across the aisle? No, you know, I, it's not to, you know, no foul to people who do, but, um, but I think, and of course how you define that is very different from person to person, right? But I think a lot of politics sometimes, at least for me, is about values and being aligned with, um, in values I think is tremendously important. That, that, that makes sense. Would you have children in office? Because, you know, your future is bright. It's bright. And so when are you, when is it going to be the right time? Yeah, you know, I think, well, first of all, one thing that I hear from a lot of parents is that there's never a right time and a perfect time. I do think that for a very long time, I was very concerned. You know, if you're a working person here, you face a lot of the constraints that a lot of other working people across the country face. And it was very hard for me to imagine very basic things for a very long time. It was very hard for me to imagine being able to have a baby here when child care is so expensive. And I, and I acknowledge that I'm relative to many Americans. I am in a place of privilege and even I don't know how it would be possible. And so we've seen your books and you're not like loaded or anything. It's not like you've got money out there. Exactly, exactly. And so I've had that thought. And so I don't know. I have a lot of, you know, I think sometimes these conversations about political speculation happen very two dimensionally, right? Like, is she going to run for this or is she going to run for that? And for me, I make decisions about my whole life, right? It's not, it's not ever just in a career context. It's about how do I fit all of these things? And I feel like my ambition is not just a career ambition. It's about how do we get to soak up as much of this life as possible? And sometimes that has to do with doing really aspirational things with work. And sometimes it has to do with really big aspirational things with love and family. And I was always raised as a family first kind of person.
