Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scolded media outlets for reporting that she lives in a luxury high-rise building in Washington, DC, around the time she and other high-profile Democrats appeared on a hit list compiled by a Maryland man arrested for allegedly planning a mass terror attack.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cJournalists are sharing stories about where I live the same day it\u2019s shared that myself + others were targeted by a mass shooter,\u201d the New York Democrat tweeted late Wednesday. \u201cAll this paired w\/ amplifying unvetted conspiracy theories. It\u2019s reckless, irresponsible & puts people directly in danger. This isn\u2019t a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Court documents show Coast Guard Lt. Christopher Hasson, who was arrested last Friday, drafted a list of politicians and media members whom he was targeting.<\/p>\n

The list included Ocasio-Cortez, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic presidential candidates Sens. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, among others.<\/p>\n

Hasson, who had an arsenal of 15 firearms in his Silver Spring, Md., home, searched on the internet for \u201cWhere in DC do Congress live?\u201d and \u201cBest place in D.C. to see Congress people,\u201d according to police officials.<\/p>\n\n

A number of outlets reported in the past week that the freshman lawmaker, whose congressional salary is $174,000, lives in a tony section of the capital in a building where rents range from $2,000 for a studio apartment to more than $5,000 for a three-bedroom.<\/p>\n

While most of them did not give an address, they did provide identifying information and photographs about which stores were in the neighborhood and the amenities offered by her complex, which is under construction.<\/p>\n

The articles pointed out Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s platform as a champion of the poor and took her to task for living in an upscale building that they claimed didn\u2019t offer affordable housing.<\/p>\n

The building developer told The Post that they participate in the District of Columbia\u2019s housing voucher program and have low-income people living there.<\/p>\n

Asked to provide a specific number, the developer said: \u201cWe cannot disclose any more specific details about our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
