Anyone who bought AOC’s b.s. deserves the title of “imbecile”!
So many have bought her “woman of the people” crap, that she was the opposite of her privileged upbringing, that she would be pure and t***sparent, that she was just a struggling bartender...........than we noticed she has matching expensive outfits for her subject-specific press conferences, she has a luxury apartment in D.C. with no affordable housing mandate (pretty hard to find if you’ve ever been there), had her boyfriend involved in a scheme where her top aide hired the boyfriend but washed campaign funds through a political org, and now this!!!!!

Campaign finance attorneys described the arrangement as “really weird” and an indication "there’s something amiss." They said there was no way of telling where the political donations went — meaning they could have been pocketed or used by the company to pay for off-the-books campaign operations.
