poll: Who has more of their ancestor's blood? vote: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (mostly Jewish) Elizabeth Warren (mostly Indian) Mickey Mouse (mostly mouse)

Incoming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told a Queens synagogue audience celebrating Hanukah on Sunday that her family descends from Jews who fled Spain to Puerto Rico during the Inquisition centuries ago. It’s the first time that Cortez, who was raised Catholic in the Bronx and Westchester, has publicly claimed Jewish ancestral roots. “A very, very long time ago — generations and generations ago — my family consisted of Sephardic Jews,” Ocasio-Cortez told congregants at the Jackson Heights Jewish Center.
