Greg Gutfeld weighed in on the recent news concerning Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s breakup with her longtime fiancé, Riley Roberts. He jokingly speculated that the progressive congresswoman might end up marrying a police officer in the future.
The situation gained attention when TMZ approached Ocasio-Cortez outside Capitol Hill following reports of her split. TMZ DC managing editor Charlie Cotton asked her if she’d consider dating a conservative. Ocasio-Cortez laughed and said, “Um, I’d have to say… probably not,” emphasizing that shared values are crucial to her.
Ocasio-Cortez added that her focus on values informs her decisions but noted that some people can overlook political differences for love. Her office did not comment on the matter when approached by Fox News Digital.
Throughout history, dating across political lines has become increasingly rare amid a polarized climate. Notably, Democratic strategist James Carville, who has been married to former GOP consultant Mary Matalin for over 30 years, shared his perspective on dating irrespective of politics. Carville expressed concern about how politics impacts dating today, urging people to be practical about relationships.
Carville advised young progressives, like Ocasio-Cortez, to consider a pragmatic approach to life for greater happiness and success in politics. His own experience of broadening his dating pool served as an illustration. “Get over your preening and your moral superiority,” he argued, suggesting that accepting diverse perspectives can lead to achieving goals.
