Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez haughtily proclaimed she doesn’t discuss her personal life just days after posting a video showcasing every step of her ongoing fertility treatment in excruciating detail.

She declined to answer when a Post reporter asked about her split from longtime fiance Riley Roberts as she exited her Queens apartment building Wednesday morning to walk her dog.

“I don’t comment on my private life – thank you,” the Democrat darling said with a smile before clamming up and refusing to respond to any follow-ups.

But for the past week, Ocasio Cortez, 36, has taken to Instagram to give her 9.6 million followers a look into her private life — as she publicly documents the process to freeze her eggs.

One video showed her entire home treatment setup, with vials, syringes and other implements.

The video culminates with the congresswoman – who many believe is gearing up for a White House run in 2028 – lifting up her shirt and wiping her stomach with an alcohol wipe before injecting herself.

“Don’t be weird about this,” she said right before taking the shot.

The Bronx and Queens rep. said undergoing the treatment was “a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life,” brushing off any critiques or assumptions, including that the move was the result of breaking things off with her fiance or an indicator she plans to defer motherhood to pursue a run for president.

AOC has been engaged to Roberts, who has worked in marketing and web development, since 2022.

“If people want to make assumptions about my decision, let them make those assumptions. I feel empowered to make this choice,” she insisted.
