Meet AOC’s newest pal — a puppy
Lefty darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just got herself a loyal new supporter — a puppy — and she has big plans for him.
The freshman Democrat unveiled her newest furry addition on Instagram Monday, showing off a gray-eyed, chocolate-colored puppy with the appearance of a French bulldog.
“So we just did something big!” AOC said in the story before turning the camera around to unveil the pup.
“Hey boo boo, hi. Welcome to our family,” she added while letting the new pet sniff and lick her hands.
The Democratic socialist darling confirmed on Twitter that the dog was a boy, repeatedly referring to it as “he” or “him.”
She also tweeted that her goal was to “train him to be a community pup. Ideally we want to work to the point where he can enjoy town halls, be an Amtrak pup, come to the office, etc.”
On Instagram, she asked her followers to provide name suggestions, saying, “He doesn’t have a name yet! We are thinking something Star Trek related or Bronx/Queens/NYC/social good related.”
The Post reached out to the congresswoman and her spokesperson numerous times requesting more details on the furry friend, including if the pet was a shelter animal or was purchased elsewhere, but received no responses.
