U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced that she’s going to start freezing her eggs as she sets her sights on moving up the political ladder, possibly taking a shot at the White House in 2028.
AOC shared the news with her followers on social media, turning what most women would treat as a personal matter into another way to get attention from her adoring cultlike fans who worship her like a goddess.
In a video posted to Instagram on Saturday, the 36-year-old “Squad” leader jabbed herself a hormone shot.
“Don’t be weird about this, even though I know all of you will be,” AOC said as she swabbed herself and took the hormone jab.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced she is freezing her eggs and has posted a video of her injecting herself with medication.
“This is just not something that men deal with,” she said before injecting herself.

“Usually, I keep my private life quite private, but I have made the decision to start freezing my eggs, and I want to share that with anyone who is — and I want to share this because I was weighing it for a very long time, and I think that, you know, I was saving for it for a very long time, and there just isn’t a ton out there, I feel, and sometimes it can feel very daunting,” the congresswoman said on Instagram.
“I want you all to see that, because women can do anything,” she continued.
“And I think it’s badass that I’m gonna be, you know, giving myself shots in the green room, get my glam on, roll out, talk international events, domestic policy, elections, pop out, live my life, do my thing,” she said, referring to her interview on “This Week” which aired on Sunday morning.
Ocasio-Cortez was asked about the video during her interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl.

“In this political environment where this administration is denying reproductive care to women across the country, from abortion rights to the ability to carry out a healthy pregnancy, I think it’s important for us as leaders to have these conversations and share these processes, especially for working women across the country and normalize them,” she said.
Karl asked the socialist rock star about her political ambitions, including rumors that she could run for the seat currently occupied by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Senate minority leader who is on thin ice with progressive elements of the party.
“I mean, I think that anything is possible at this juncture,” Ocasio-Cortez said, not ruling out a run against the embattled Schumer.
But it could also be that she has her eyes on a much bigger enchilada: the White House.
“I haven’t ruled out the possibility,” AOC told Karl, adding, “And I’m very humbled to the tremendous amount of support out there. I think that we have a responsibility to remain focused on the midterms and not on our individual aspirations or plans.”
