Twice you state she lies, yet fail to offer any examples either time. Repeat your own lie often enough and MAGA Morons will believe it?
Shocked? Trump is the guy who moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem (90% of what is happening in the country happens in Tel Aviv) For political reasons (he's no Christian, he only worships money) he supports the American Taliban position that Israel needs to rebuild the Temple as a lead up to Armageddon. Apocalypticists have been working on this sort of lunacy for over 200 years. Nothing's happened yet, folks...
Low hanging fruit (or nut, in this case). BTW Bobo is in trouble in CO since they moved her district to one that was more Trump friendly in 2020. It's going to backfire and they may lose both seats...
See, the problem here is that the ethics investigation says she "may" have violated the rules. You never seem all that concerned when someone on the right does something that "may" or "did" break the rules.
Look, I don't think anyone should be above the law. And the reality here is that if she did break a rule, they decided not to punish her. And, remember, the folks who investigate this type of thing are non-partisan. Is that the right call? I don't know. I do know the NY Post occasionally play hard and fast with facts, and the fact that this is an Op-Ed piece means it doesn't really have a requirement to use facts. So....here are some of the facts:
The ethics committee found that because Anna Wintour is so involved with the Met Gala, the felt the invitation was permissible. The issue was whether she paid for her expenses out of her own pocket. Which she did...but it took a few months. So, that headline and some of the info inside are opinion, not fact.
Did Ocasio-Cortez Intend to Pay for Her Met Gala Dress? (Published 2023)
An investigation found that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might have broken House ethics rules by delaying paying for her gala expenses.
She paid after the ethics review i.e. after she was caught and there was backlash.See, the problem here is that the ethics investigation says she "may" have violated the rules. You never seem all that concerned when someone on the right does something that "may" or "did" break the rules.

Here's the issue: when you've built your reputation on fighting for the poor, hammering the elites, etc, etc, and then do something like this, it's magnified for that reason and makes it far worse. That is the essence of the issue.
You sure are shouting loudly about two tickets to a fundraiser.
But you really don't care about billions in scandals from people you back.
Why is this a bigger deal than project G to you?
Bibi and the hard Israeli right are pro-Trump and want him to win since they know they will have a much freer hand with a Trump Administration.
More than two tickets to a fundraiser for starters, and if you haven't figured out the point here...her reputation is based on exactly doing the opposite of what she did. That's what makes it worse.
She has convinced her flock she is "different" but given the chance, she proves it's not really the case...although she has done a good job hiding it for the most part.
You heroes are failing you one by one it seems.
All this does is show how ignorant you are, skoob.
You don't understand political society and fundraisers and if this is the biggest scandal you can find it just shows that all you care about are partisan attacks.
We all know you'll just keep posting over and over again about this but nobody cares.
It's not a real scandal, won't affect polls and really, nobody cares.
But will it stop mr books?
no
I am no fan of AOC but the guy in the video is disgusting and
the harassment uncalled for. This guy is probably some obnoxious
right-wing troll seeking attention.

Sure...only ethics violations against people you don't like matter.
But just to keep it real for you here is the official documentation:
https://ethics.house.gov/press-rele...-committee-ethics-regarding-representative-70
Are you willing to say any allegation this serious or more serious means you would never support a politician?
Anything more serious than a free ticket to a fundraiser means you would never back a politician?
It was more than a free ticket...why you keep singing that song is beyond me.
If a politician gets angry about the "elite" and is very vocal to the point where she convinces her followers that she is on their side, then doing what elites do contradicts things even more than someone else who has done the same thing but wasn't as vocal.
I think you understand this...you just want to argue about something for the sake of it.
But then again, you never acknowledge your own hypocrisy so it's expecting too much of you to acknowledge someone else's.
But you're saying any scandal as big as this one or bigger is a major deal and you don't think they should be allowed to run, aren't you?
