Newly single Democrat darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dished on her dating prospects Tuesday when she was asked whether she’d ever date a conservative.
“I have to say, probably not,” the New York congresswoman — who has split from her longtime fiance Riley Roberts — told TMZ with a hearty laugh.
“No foul to people who do, and of course, how you define that is very different from person to person,” she told the gossip site, which caught up with her on Capitol Hill. “But I think a lot of politics, sometimes, at least for me is about values and being aligned in values is tremendously important.”

“For me, I make decisions about my whole life, it’s not ever just in a career context. It’s about how do I fit all of these things?” she said. “And I feel like my ambition is not just a career ambition, it’s about how do we get to soak up as much of this life as possible?”
“I was always raised as a family-first kind of person,” she added.
