Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Who Sez We Never Had A Gay Prez????
Published
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says someone needs to check the White House closets ... because it's entirely possible we've already had a gay president!
Charlie got the Bronx-born Congresswoman out on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon ... and asked if a female or a gay president will move to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. first.
AOC told him to hold his roll -- because the question has a built-in assumption -- that we've never had a president who was into guys.
She didn't name names, but there have been books written and documentaries produced about Abraham Lincoln, and his possible predilection for men ... for example -- "Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln" -- a film suggesting our 16th President might've had more than just a brotherly love for some of his fellow Americans.
SEPTEMBER 2024
The movie's director, Shaun Peterson, joined us on "TMZ Live" back in 2024 ... and made a pretty compelling case that makes us think AOC might've hit this nail on the head.
We also asked AOC if she thinks Democrats are going to be gun-shy about running another female after 2 big losses. She says there's more at play here than just gender.
