Well, are the tweets Knowles makes against her accurate?

If so, it does make her look pretty bad.

it really comes down to what you define as "coming from"
if she left the Bronx at 5 years old but considers herself from coming there, is she wrong? it's a bit presumptuous for people to tell her no and you could see why she'd be annoyed by that
but then you could also feel that 13 other years of childhood outside of the Bronx means you're not really from there

the rest of it is crap though. of course a politician makes themselves appear a certain way to their voters, they're literally supposed to be representatives of the people

it's like saying i came from italy because i studied abroad there. or because my family took me on a vacation there.

where you are from is generally where you developed most as a person, not just random places you have been for periods of time.

if you went to college for 4 years somewhere, are you "from there"? Presumably, you'd actually develop as a person more during that period of time then when you are shitting your diaper and running around the house, which happens the same pretty much anywhere
