So earlier I said the Dems may have found a solution to the AOC problem.
A smart, or at least street smart, politician would start to lay low if they were about to be accused of criminality and corruption.
Not AOC, she seems to be powered by attention.
So… remember that all the way back in November, the first thing the AOC did as a Congresswoman-elect was state a Green protest in Nancy Pelosi’s office.
The Green New Deal that AOC came up with was a laughing stock. It wanted to ban farting cows and airplanes and provide income for people who were “unwilling to work.”
Pelosi tried to punish AOC by keeping her off the House Climate Panel.
So fast forward to today.
Ilhan Omar has been a YUGE embarrassment for the old guard of the DNC. The Democrats are uncomfortable being called racists instead of the ones doing the calling.
Chuck Schumer may be a piece of shit partisan hack, but he’s still Jewish, and I can’t believe stands with Omar on her pro BDS antisemitism. Pelosi is like the crypt keeper with a mini stroke, but I also don’t think she’s totally bought into woke politics. They seem to be dragged along by the more radical wing of the Democrats into a place they don’t want to go.
This Congress has been in session two months and they have had to have resolutions condemning antisemitism from Ilhan Omar twice.
How did AOC react? She decided to back her Jew hating woke sister.
Of course she did. AOC is obviously a woke Progressive Jew hater, that was evident when she did her embarrassing interview and mentioned the “Israeli occupation of Palestine” before saying she wasn’t a geopolitical expert.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday laid into Democrats and Republicans who’ve condemned freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar of making comments perceived by many as anti-Semitic.
Democratic leadership is expected to put a resolution opposing anti-Semitism up for a vote in the House this week, after Omar in a tweet over the weekend accused pro-Israel lawmakers of pushing “for allegiance to a foreign country.”
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t defend Omar’s comment but argued in a series of tweets that the fierce backlash the Minnesota Democrat is facing revealed a double standard in Congress’ response to different forms of bigotry.
She added that Omar, who is Muslim and a Somali-American immigrant, “has demonstrated a willingness to listen+work w/impacted communities” and shouldn’t be subjected to the “nuclear option” of a formal condemnation.
I have a feeling Pelosi didn’t want to bring the resolution against Omar in the first place, but Schumer made it clear that the Dems during a deaf ear to her antisemitism was going to cost the Democrats a lot of Jewish support.
Then AOC calls Pelosi out for it, prompting the question on social media “whose party is it?”
Now keep that in your mind while we visit this issue.
In a long Twitter thread, Phil Kerpen shows that the office associated with AOC’s Chief of Staff’s LLC is in a nondescript building in Tennessee, registered in a different state, and home to the campaign headquarters of a dozen different campaigns across the country.
It was also the campaign headquarters of Democratic congressional candidates in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois. pic.twitter.com/UIGVjXQtQk

Somewhere in that rundown brick building nearly a million dollars has disappeared.
This might be a good time to mention that she has a super luxurious apartment in DC and another in the Bronx. Two of the highest cost of living cities in America. Oh yeah, and her boyfriend is a 29 year old social media consultant.
It seems that the “yas queen” of clapback has nothing to say when asked about potential felonious behavior of her and her chief of staff.
AOC flees questions on allegations she may have violated campaign finance laws
Q: “Do you have any comment on the FEC violation filed against your office?”
AOC: “There is no violation…there’s no violation”
Q: “Do you think that’s a sign of you taking dark money?”
AOC: “No” pic.twitter.com/nIX6FSHyqE

Anybody who follows AOC online knows that her go to defense is that she is the victim of racism or sexism or both.
That that she went with the no comment approach here instead of lashing out about being the victim of something, something, Latina woman is telling.
Take part one and add part two and what do we have?
AOC has started a blood feud with Nancy Pelosi over the future of the Democrat party. AOC is trying to wrest it away from Pelosi as a radical Progressive victory after only two months on the job. Pelosi has been the Congresswoman from San Francisco since they found gold in the near by hills and has paid her dues to get to the top.
At the same time AOC and her sponsor/Chief of Staff may have done everything possible to keep the FEC from tracking their money so they could put their hands in the cookie jar.
AOC, the Democratic Socialist who fights for fairness and working people everywhere, getting caught pinching from the till would be another YUGE embarrassment for the Democrats.
I really believe that if Pelosi had any moisture left in her desiccated corpse of a body, she’d be slobbering at the opportunity to put AOC in her place and teach any young whippersnapper Progressive with an ego that you don’t come at the queen.
This is going to turn into a Shakespearean tragedy before it is over.
Somali immigrant, eh? I didn’t realize that. It would be SO interesting to see her debate another Somali immigrant, who is the target of actual death threats for daring to abandon Islam: Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Pass the popcorn! This is gonna be good!
Hubris leads to Ate’.
Ate’ activates Nemesis.
Nemesis is not nice.
“I really believe that if Pelosi had any moisture left in her desiccated corpse of a body…” that is one the funniest things I’ve read all year. I laughed out loud for three whole minutes.
Given how she seems to be going out of her way to piss off old school Democrats like Pelosi, Schumer, and Cuomo, I’m pretty sure AOC’s gonna be taking an early retirement in the form of a pair of tragically self-inflicted gunshots to the back of the head.
Don’t forget all the NYC local guys & legitimate businessmen who lost out on chances to really earn on the Amazon deal. All that Union overtime- gone. All those chances to sell properties to Amazon at wildly overinflated prices- gone. All those chances to sell materials, permits, inspectors to the project- out.
Im poppin some now! This is gettin good!
