Ocasio Cortez Mude

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York whose outspokenness and progressive views have made her a target of conservatives, lashed out at the right-wing news site The Daily. Crowley continued to hold out hope that the “Ocasio-Cortez shoestring campaign was going to show its weakness on Election Day,” as Sherman and Palmer put it, “and his institutional support would drown her.” But as New York’s 14th went to the polls, Ocasio-Cortez supporters showed up en masse. She beat Crowley by 15 points. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flew over 1,600 miles to stump for the Green New Deal and then posted false claims about a supposed fracking site in Colorado.

Sports Illustrated is in the money-makingnews business. NASCAR is in the money-making business.

Sports Illustrated’s biggest money-making issue of the year hits newsstands (Yes, NEWSSTANDS!) this week. NASCAR’s biggest money-making race of the year, the Daytona 500, takes place this coming weekend.

So should we really be surprised that the first glance of a nude Danica Patrick (if you count nipples as “nude”) was flashed briefly on Sports Illustrated’s website Tuesday morning?

This selfie-style photo was apparently taken in 2008, that innocent time period when “Lolo Jones virgin,” “Tim Tebow virgin,” “Greg Oden penis,”and “Danica Patrick nipple” weren’t among sports’ most searched terms. In the words of Burl Ives’ snowman character from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”: “Ahh, youth.”

Another attempted smear of Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has backfired.

An image of a naked young woman in a bath purported to be her was circulated on conservative websites.

The Daily Caller posted it with the headline: “Here's The Photo Some People Described as a Nude Selfie of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.'

The congresswoman hit back on Twitter, saying the photo was a fake.

The Daily Caller changed the headline and apologized, tweeting, 'As soon as editors noticed the twitter headline, we rapidly had it deleted and fixed ... We regret the error, as the intent was to inform our audience that a fake image was circulating online.'

Ocasio-Cortez fired back, saying it wasn’t an apology and said the website was “targeting” her.

The woman in the bathing photo scandal is actually Sydney Leathers, from the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal.

Leathers, who is a fan of Ocasio-Cortez, tweeted, 'hey @aoc, I’m sorry creeps are trying to pretend my pics are actually pics of you.'

She also called Ocasio-Cortez a “national treasure.”

Leathers told Inside Edition it's her in the photo.

'I still live in the same house. That is still my bathtub,' she said. 'They were trying to say, ‘Oh, zoom in on the faucet. It is the congresswoman’s breasts!’ and in reality it was me the whole time!”

Leathers now writes for the political website Washington Babylon.

'Of all the politicians I could possibly get in trouble, she is the last one I would do any damage to,” she said. “I think she is fabulous.'
