It\u2019s a \u201cswipe left\u201d for this lefty.<\/p>\n

Newly single Democrat darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dished on her dating prospects Tuesday when she was asked whether she\u2019d ever date a conservative.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say, probably not,\u201d the New York congresswoman \u2014 who has split from her longtime fiance Riley Roberts \u2014 told TMZ with a hearty laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo foul to people who do, and of course, how you define that is very different from person to person,\u201d she told the gossip site, which caught up with her on Capitol Hill. \u201cBut I think a lot of politics, sometimes, at least for me is about values and being aligned in values is tremendously important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, as the 36-year-old went Instagram-public with her journey to freeze her eggs, The Post exclusively reported that \u201cThe Squad\u201d socialist had quietly split from Roberts.<\/p>\n

When asked specifically if Roberts was supportive of her pursuing egg freezing, she demurred, saying only, \u201cAll of my loved ones have been very supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez and TMZ also discussed having kids while in office \u2014 as rumors swirl that she\u2019s seeking a 2028 presidential run.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I make decisions about my whole life, it\u2019s not ever just in a career context. It\u2019s about how do I fit all of these things?\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I feel like my ambition is not just a career ambition, it\u2019s about how do we get to soak up as much of this life as possible?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always raised as a family-first kind of person,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Roberts and Ocasio-Cortez got engaged in 2022 after dating on and off for more than a decade. The pair was together when the former waitress became the youngest person ever elected to Congress in 2018.<\/p>\n

That year, she discussed her relationship with GQ, saying that being with Roberts, who is white, made her question whether she wanted to be in an interracial relationship.<\/p>\n

She also said she believed men only think they want to be with a successful woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment you start being yourself, they kind of freak out,\u201d she told the mag. \u201cI think it causes a conflict within them that they didn\u2019t even anticipate. It\u2019s not even a deception. It\u2019s just, they uncover insecurities that they didn\u2019t know were there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Rumors of their relationship being on the rocks had swirled for some time.<\/p>\n

One Democratic operative who has encountered the couple in years past had a brutal assessment of their courtship, describing Roberts as \u201can awkward guy as a partner for a dynamic woman\u201d like AOC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever he was around at events, he never spoke,\u201d the source said. \u201cNo one thought she actually liked him.\u201d<\/p>\n
