In the context of her age, 20-something, it is a luxury apartment. Anyone denying that is being a partisan bootlicker. I fully agree she's clever, she's a natural politician ... but she is a vain phony and a pathological liar with a thirst for power (just like literally all of her politico peers).

How many 20 somethings earn $174,000 per year? Of those that do, how many live in run-down walk-up flats?

In other words, she's using politics for personal financial gain.

Fine by me, but I notice a little tiny disconnect with her political platform.

According to Daily Mail, yes . . .
NOT fine by me

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6752313/AOCs-campaign-team-accused-illegally-funneling-6-000-boyfriend-allied-PAC.html

some highlights:

- Lawyers for the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative non-profit, filed an FEC complaint against Cortez's campaign team on Wednesday
- The group wants the feds to review recently-unveiled campaign expenditures Cortez's election staff made to Brand New Congress LLC
- The political consulting firm hired Cortez's boyfriend, Riley Roberts, as a marketing strategist back in 2017 in the early stages of her campaign
- Cortez's campaign paid $6,191.32 to BNC not long before the PAC made two separate payments to Roberts totaling $6,000
- BNC Communications Director Zeynab Day said his firm hired Roberts based on his experience managing successful advertising and social media campaigns

I take it Coolidge Reagan is also looking into Jared's 1.2 billion deal to save one of the worst real estate investment in history

Stop deviating from my post.

Two wrongs don't make a right. We're dealing with AOC's wrong at this point.

I wish you liberals (former D) would see the bad on YOUR side, as the Ds are so g-damn fragmented that there's no way they'll win 2020. Get it together and stop REFUSING to look at the flaws on your end.

bunch of dingbats

what did she do wrong?

She did nothing wrong. They think she secretly paid him $6,000. Why would anyone secretly pay someone they can legally put on their payroll???

No it's entirely the point because conservatives scrutinize non-existing ethical lapses by Democrats while ignoring enormous lapses by Republicans. It is not illegal or unethical to rent an apartment. It is not illegal or unethical to find your boyfriend a job working on your campaign. It is, however, unethical to negotiate a 1.2 billion deal loan deal with a Qatari firm while you are working in the White House on Middle East policy. It is unethical to go on vacation to your own property and charge the Secret Service to stay at your own hotel. It is unethical to create a "blind trust" run by your own children and write checks drawing money from it.

But you go right on plucking motes from AOC's eye. That tactic doesn't work anymore since you elected the most corrupt public official in the history of the United States to the Presidency. I mean that literally. It's pretty obvious and only your partisan blinders prevent you from seeing it. After all, doesn't every President's personal lawyer swear that he committed felonies? Who among us has not had their personal foundation shut down for misuse of funds? And every politicians has told at least 8,000 documented lies.

So spare me your faux outrage over nothing. I look forward to Ocasio-Cortez's questions for Alan Weiselberg.

Really, you think that when this is all over you are going to find actual wrongdoing? If she wanted to pay her boyfriend $6,000 she could have just hired him for her campaign staff. Honestly you people are dumber than a bag of hammers.

boring except during Nats Games and even then....


But we DO have Blue Jacket - has this dude ever had Mexican Cake? And the trapeze school. And Ice Cream Jubilee.

She should have moved to H Street. They would tolerate the dancing over there. We don't dance so much over here. I mean unless its some kind of babies and mommies dance thing.

What’s funny is that can’t see where this is heading even though AOC is telegraphing it. To cite AOC, if private owniership of a helipad in New York while poverty exists in Alabama is immoral, why aren’t $1000 Hamilton tickets and upscale restaurants immoral? Why is it moral to spend $15 on a movie ticket when that $15 could be allocated to alleviate poverty? Travel to Europe while poverty exists?

When her staff tells you they want to end air travel and consumption of meat you should believe them.

The Harris Teeter is not immoral is it? Please tell me the Harris Teeter is not immoral.

near SW is a TOTALLY different neighborhood. Can we start discussing Van Ness Elementary school boundaries now? Lets bore the RW out of town trolls to death.

More like 10 years.

Private helipads and $1000 tickets are a symptom of extreme inequality, not a cause of it. So the solution is not to ban such things, which will do nothing to fix the problem, but to change the economic conditions that make these status symbols possible.
