Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
The job of being in congress pays 174k per year, so having some amount of money after doing that job for multiple years is inevitable.
AOC is one of the most outspoken leftists in the government. If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt it is her.
Then she should realize that she’s rich compared to most US Americans. Obviously the wealth went to her head and now she’s out of touch with reality
Idk man, she is fighting daily for the middle class, and is consistently against billionaires existing. That’s sort of her whole thing. If anything she seems more in touch with the issues regular people face more than anyone in Congress.
This feels like a bad faith attempt to find something not to like about her.
Oh, I agree she’s more in touch than the others. But thats a damn low bar.
Based on what?
How do you know she doesn’t?
Do you just hate women?
