Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been making waves, but this is the first time that she has been unmasked on the substance of her political practices rather than form or policy ideas. Luke Thompson, a GOP political consultant, has discovered that Ocasio is closely tied in with a millionaire turned progressive activist, and could be violating House ethics rules in regards to her boyfriend. Wilson explains it all here.
In summary, Ocasio Cortez received infrastructure help from a millionaire donor, Chakrabarti, who provided campaign services. However, she couldn’t afford his services and instead of the campaign taking a loan, she most likely paid out of pocket. However, Chakrabarti later hired Ocasio’s boyfriend, which could be seen as nepotistic, even he would be qualified. This could mean that Chakrabarti was paying her Ocasio’s partner while at the same time getting paid by her, in effect donating to her campaign. Not only that, but she later hired this person to be her chief of staff. For all her talk of fighting against nepotism and money in politics, Ocasio has been double-dealing.
In addition, Ocasio Cortez denied hiring her own boyfriend on her staff, despite him having a US government email address. Unless she married him within the last month, this would be highly irregular as boyfriends are not counted as spouses. Much evidence has surfaced proving that her boyfriend is indeed on staff, and paid. More on nepotism in this case.
There is an argument for Ocasio Cortez hiring those close to her to serve on her staff, but it would go against the tenets that she has explicitly defended. Politics corrupt all, and Americans should not be lulled into thinking that “new” politicians are somehow purer.
If ethics continues on the course set ”example made of Sparticus” nothing but fifty lashes with the wet noodle .
AOC swept into Washington with the attitude she was going to take the town by storm. Flashing a big ego and a big mouth she did control the media for a while. She dazzeled the media with her plan to turn America into a socialist paradise but when asked how she was going to accomplish that she spun off such an illogical bunch of platitudes no one listened. Now her warts are staring to show. She doesn’t know when to shut up. The boyfriend thing is going to get bigger and bigger till she resolves it to the satisfaction of the voters. Paying your boyfriend with tax payers or campaign money is a no-no. Meddling in government politics and screwing up a plan for hundreds of jobs is just a hint of how dangerous and incompetent she is.
Not hundreds, thousands – The vast majority of which were Tech Jobs, that would pay New York survivable wages in the $100K plus range – That’s income tax revenue, rents/mortgages, food purchases, transportation, local vendor usage. They screwed up ‘bigly’… and she is a total moron. Someone’s her puppeteer. Getting a coherent sentence out of her longer than “dog catches ball” would be a miracle.
She did not hire her boyfriend. His .gov email address is no different from the .gov email addresses available to any Government employee’s spouses or significant others. If you could trouble yourself to check, you would find many Republican Representatives and Senators have included their spouses, etc., with email addresses in the .gov email domain.
Problem, George, is that you don’t seem to understand that he is “not” her spouse, only a boyfriend, and that in itself is a violation.
If she had hired him, that would have violated the mepostism rule!
You just said it – spouses. Boyfriends/girlfriends are NOT allowed to get a congressional email address . He probably was never cleared, never given a background check and therefore that is a security breach. If she sent him any information that is called spillage, and is punishable. She probably learned all about that from hil-liary.
She doesn’t seem to understand there are rules to abide by! The ones she violated are some of the more critical ones.
Some are just plain stupid but they are still rules.
Hey Ocrazio-Kotex, just a pointer, you can accept a coffee mug as a gift but not the coffe that goes in it!
It is still a rule!!!
“Politics corrupt all, and Americans should not be lulled into thinking that “new” politicians are somehow purer.
They are purer, Purer communist traitors!
Wow ! While both parties are equally corrupt nothing will happen since we allow both democrats and republicans to discipline their own and nobody ever gets thrown out!
sounds like a good democratic nominee for president.
the way of the world has changed. WE used to get married, now divorce, live together, same sex all is possible. I think he is a long time boyfriend, then he should probably be considered her spouse and if spouse get number, then so should he. I do not understand or know political rules, but see no problem with her hiring him and paying him, it is her money. Some goof balls got her elected. WE need to reeducate them for sure.
It is not her money, it is taxpayer money. So there would be a problem with her hiring him.
Hey it, not her money, jackass she is or supports to work for the people.
sounds like the trump dynasty to me
Ocasio campaigned against nepotism and Trump having family members as advisers. Trump and many family members work pro bono. She’s the hypocrite. Kennedy’s brother was the AG, any complaints about that or do you complain about the Republicans only?
We are in the “realm” of everything that has been done or whatever problems arise, it is President Trump’s fault. Doesn’t matter that we had less than a smooth 8 years with a total failure, that the Left still admires, adores, kiss his ass and can-do-no-wrong, in their myopic eyes. All that is wrong with the world, was caused by President Trump and yet they can’t prove a thing after trying to topple him. One would think that there would be some law to protect our President from these imbeciles and mental cases that obstruct his work on a daily basis trying to impeach a man that is setting records in his leadership and they cannot stand it, so they HATE, him.
WE CANNOT EXPECT MUCH FROM “GREEDY” OR “BRAIN DEAD” INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ONLY SEEKING A FREE RIDE IN LIFE AND REFUSE TO ADMIRE AND ADMIT ALL OF THE WONDERFUL AND NEEDED ISSUES TAKEN CARE OF BY OUR PRESIDENT FOR THE “GOOD” FOR ALL AMERICANS AND FOR OUR COUNTRY. “GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT”
Spot on!
So TRUE!
Who they really hate is us – you & me, President Trump’s supporters! Thank God, he is standing in their way!
SHE NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR HER MISTAKES, NOT TRUMP !!!
Except they are working for FREE!That is the big difference! Everyone wants to say that the Trump family is taking advantage, but not one single one of them is taking a paycheck. If her boyfriend wants to work for free I have no problem, but she can’t go around yapping about how corrupt President Trump is and then do the very things she is railing against!
arenasman – spoken like a true democrap. And I heard that they had a good position for you in Hondurus. Sounds like your already want a socialist dictatorship, we the free people feel that that job opportunity in Hondurus would be just right for you.
A crooked Democrat?
Gee. What a surprise,
Oh no, say it ain’t so!
There is also that NAZI supporter that is on her staff as well. I read about him yesterday.
Special prosecutor needed!
SHE IS THE SCREEN DISTRACTION. LOOK BEHIND THE SCREEN AND SEE THE DEMOCRATZI BABY KILLING COMMUNIST RINO RAT PARTY.
DON’T FORGET THE COMMUNIST PRESS.

THE RINO RATS AND THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATZIS RAN UP A TWENTY TRILLION DOLLAR TAB AND NOW WANT TO HANG IT ON TRUMP.
IF ANYONE CAN GET IT DOWN IT IS ONLY TRUMP. HE HAS BANKRUPTCY SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE AND LET’S FACE IT WE ARE ONLY PRINTING MONEY. CUT THE DEBT IN HALF BOSS. WORK IT OUT WITH AMERICA’S CREDITORS.
STOP TRUMP!
Right now, there are at least EIGHT Republican Senators who are meeting with Democrats over this. They are Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Thom Tillis (NC), Lamar Alexander (TN), Cory Gardner (CO), Marco Rubio (FL), Mitt Romney (UT), and Jerry Moran (KS).
TRUMP STARTED AT ZERO AND WON 65 MILLION VOTES. THAT IS HIS WINNING TEAM NOT RINO RATS AND COMMUNIST BABY KILLING GOSNELL DEMOCRATZIS.
Subject: MEET THE EIGHT SCHIFFS ROMNEY’S ONLY MISSION IS TO DESTROY TRUMP. LIL MARCO NAMED RIGHT BY THE BOSS. ALASKA OUT OF TOUCH

THIS IS WHY 65 MILLION AMERICANS STAND WITH TRUMP. THEY WILL GROW PLENTY IN 2020. 100 MILLION IS THE PEOPLES GOAL. MAGA MAGA.
AMEN TO THAT !!! 🙂
Cheat is what the Dims do – AOC just isn’t experienced enough to cover her tracks AT ALL.
I aid before, AOC had to have a wealthy mentor with connections to push her to the front so quickly even though she is seriously deficient at her job. She didn’t defeat the guy in Queens, he was ready to retire and probably made a deal to do it at AOC’s convenience. She was so puffed up with her self importance she probably thought when she was elected she would be able to run the place when she got to Washington. Have to give her credit for trying but the old guard is ready to cut her and her socoalist cronies off at the pass.
how has trump gotten away with his family commune?
How is your family commune working for you? Is that your best dig at a President who is outshining (no pun intended) the last 8 year wonder who was a total failure?
They work without compensation unlike AOC, Water’s daughter, etc.
AOC is a liberal progressive democrat socialist.
Liberal progressive democrat socialists are above ALL rules or laws.
…move on…
So why is she being allowed to get away it? Now is the time to stop it not create another loophole!
,LOL. I see your green behind the ears, judging from the question you ask. She gets away with it because she is a democrat/socialist just as they all do. You know why the left gets away with everything they do and no one is never arrested or even scolded. Because of the coward,sissy ass republicans is scared to do shit about it. The left knows conservatives is just gonna run there mouth and front on them. They know they can play them weak. Everything a liberal/dem-o-rats does is no ones fault but the republicans. That’s the truth. They couldn’t do it if the right would grow some balls a little bigger than BB”S
You’re right Tim. I thought when we got rid of that joke of a Senator, McCain, that we would have Senators that would not be bullied by that A-hole anymore and would get some stones to back themselves without threats. Seems that the Establishment Rinos, are the Lefts’ best friends. They earn the title of being low-lifes in helping the Left get their policy agendas through the system and screw the people that voted for them.
Getting away with what? Being a hypocrite? Not a crime yet.
Being a libel, she will nt be hounded by the MSM and will abet her getting away with whatever she wants.
The truth always comes to light, let’s just wait and see if she actually pays a price, it appears these days you create hoaxes waste tax payers money while investigating said hoaxes and nothing come if it, my guess is nothing will happen to her, except a slap on the wrist if even this, the way anyone gets in trouble goes to jail and actually pays for their crime, is if there on the right or a conservative, anything less and anything goes, the MSM will see to that, they’ll either bury it or spotlight it, as I stated prior, it just depends on witch way you lean!
