AOC appears in Vanity Fair in designer suits as she compares herself to Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, claiming they've all been made the 'boogeyman' of the Dems, and labels Trump a 'motherf****r' for paying only $750 in taxes

Democrat firebrand Alexandria Ocasio Cortez appears on the cover of Vanity Fair this month and in lengthy photo-shoot and interview, wearing an array of high-priced clothes and comparing herself to Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, claiming they have both been made the 'boogeyman' of their party by Republicans. 

The congresswoman- who is regularly branded a socialist for her far-left views - is photographed in current season silk suits from Aliette, Loewe, Carolina Herrera, and teeters on Christian Louboutin heels, all of which come with hefty price tags, in an array of poses which include playing with children in her native Bronx. 

In her interview, she reveals that her family call her 'Sandy', complains that she and other women have been vilified by Republicans, talks about losing her father when she was a sophomore in college and says he'd be the 'first to call her a Communist' if he were alive. 

She also calls Trump a 'motherf****r' for paying only $750 in federal income tax in 2018 and labels him a 'visionary racist'.

'These are the same people saying that we can’t have tuition-free public colleges because there’s no money when these motherf*****s are only paying $750 a year in taxes,' she said.

'Trump is the racist visionary but McConnell gets the job done. He doesn’t do anything without Trump’s blessing. Trump says, "Jump." McConnell says, "How high?" 

'Trump never does what McConnell says.'

The 31-year-old also says she has contemplated freezing her eggs. She and partner Riley Roberts have been together for eight years. 

She is coy about her political ambitions, saying she'd rather be a 'mirror than a savior', but compares herself to Pelosi and Clinton. 

'It’s not an accident that, every cycle, the boogeyman of the Democrats is a woman. A couple of cycles ago, it was Pelosi. Then it was Hillary, and now it’s me,' she says. 

She also shares photos of her childhood in the Bronx, and denies that she and Pelosi have any problems despite the latter regularly slapping her and the rest of the 'squad' - a handful of progressive Demorat congresswomen - down. 

AOC says that Pelosi's dislike of her is a construct of the media. 

'Two powerful women coming from different perspectives, and there has to be a catfight,' she said. 

She did admit that House leaders are 'a little wary' of her, saying: 'I think a lot of people, including my Democratic colleagues, believe the Fox News version of me.' 

She also said she has endured periods of receiving death threats 'every day'. 

'I used to wake up in the morning and literally get a stack of pictures that were forwarded by Capitol police or FBI. Like, "These are the people who want to kill you today." 

'It’s the epitome of being shaken to your core.  Getting a phone call from the FBI saying, "Hey, don’t open your mail. They’re mailing out bombs."'  

They became so intense that she questioned if she should run for re-election. 

'There have been many times, especially in the first six months, where I felt like I couldn’t do this, like I didn’t know if I was going to be able to run for reelection. 

'There was a time where the volume of threats had gotten so high that I didn’t even know if I was going to live to my next term,' she said. 

She poked fun at the 'neo-Nazis' who threaten her life, saying: 'All these dudes look the same. I got to a point where I was like, “This isn’t even helpful because it’s all these neo-Nazis….” 

'I shouldn’t say that—there’s great diversity in the neo-Nazis.' 

What gave her the boost she needed to continue, she said, were the other members of the squad -  lhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

'Their sisterhood and their friendship, it’s not some political alliance. It’s a very deep, unconditional human bond,' she said, calling them a 'gift from God'. 

She and Pressley revealed in the interview that their signal of warfare is to wear a red lip whenever they go to do political battle, and often share lipstick before giving press conferences. 

When asked what her political aspirations are, she was coy, saying: 'I don’t want to be a savior, I want to be a mirror.

'I don’t know if I’m really going to be staying in the House forever, or if I do stay in the House, what that would look like.

'I don’t see myself really staying where I’m at for the rest of my life.

'I don’t want to aspire to a quote-unquote higher position just for the sake of that title or just for the sake of having a different or higher position. I truly make an assessment to see if I can be more effective.

'And so, you know, I don’t know if I could necessarily be more effective in an administration, but, for me that’s always what the question comes down to,' she said.

Speaking of her father Sergio, who died in 2008 from lung cancer, she said: 'I don’t think there’s any way to overstate how close I was with my dad. 

'That sense of ambition to try things when the odds seem so unfavorable, that very, very much comes from my father.

'It felt like…I didn’t just lose my dad, I also lost myself.' 

Among those who sing her praises in the interview is her brother Gabriel and filed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.
