Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Speaks Behind Bullet Proof Barrier!

[BeyondKnowledge]

At least AOC doesnt own or trade stocks and is trying to get it banned from active members of congress to trade. Way better than that corrupt market manipulator in the white house now. Any politician that trades stocks while in office is full of shit.

Then how did she make more money than she earned as a member of Congress? It came form somewhere.

From what i can find online she really doesnt have that much in assets.

I read her campaign did raise around $27 million, but that was from a lot of small individual donations and not big PAC money. Thats a big plus. 

Im just like anybody else though, googling for information.  Good to still be highly skeptical of all politicians, no matter the political leaning.

High probability that she uses a proxy investor that reports and pays the taxes in their name.  She gets the same inside info as the others do.

I was just going by what she reported as her worth which she is now saying was a mistake. It must have been a big one.

Thats a good point, and highly likely considering the nature of politicians

Oh, Great Magnet that does my thinking for me, why do people say AOC actually made way more money than she earned from congress?

People say Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) made more money than she earned from Congress due to viral, unfounded social media rumors and misleading articles that vastly exaggerated her net worth. 

Key reasons for these false claims include:

• Dubious Websites: Many viral posts cite unverified, clickbait websites like CAknowledge.com, which falsely claimed her net worth was as high as $29 million, sometimes wrongly attributing the numbers to Forbes.
  
• Fundraising vs. Personal Wealth: Critics often confuse the massive amounts her political campaigns raise (which can exceed $9 million in a single quarter) with her personal wealth. All campaign funds are legally restricted to political use, not personal income.
  
• Fact-Checking: Fact-checking organizations like Reuters and PolitiFact have routinely debunked these multimillion-dollar claims.
  

According to her official financial disclosures, AOC actually remains one of the lowest net worth members of Congress. She earns the standard congressional salary of $174,000 per year, does not trade individual stocks, and chooses not to take outside income. Her net worth is estimated at under $50,000 to roughly $125,000, largely comprised of a Thrift Savings Plan (government 401(k), and she continues to carry student loan debt. You can verify her official reports yourself via the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives.

But i dont fully believe either Politifact and especially CAknowledge. One a little... a lot more, but i still need the Great Magnet to think some more for me...
 

CAknowledge is an entertainment and net-worth-tracking website that has been flagged by fact-checking organizations for publishing unverified rumors and fabricated financial statistics about politicians and public figures. It is not a recognized or reliable source for journalism, media bias ratings, or verified facts.

The site frequently recirculates clickbait headlines and exaggerated wealth estimates about figures like Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

CAKnowledge does not have a designated bias or credibility rating from Media Bias/Fact Check because it operates primarily as an entertainment and celebrity net-worth website, rather than a news or political outlet.

Because it lacks editorial oversight for political neutrality, its articles on politicians, public figures, or sensitive topics should be cross-referenced with established fact-checking sources.

Vs.

 AllSides: Rates PolitiFact as Lean Left. They note that bias in fact-checking outlets typically appears in story selection and contextual interpretation rather than outright fabrication.

Media Bias/Fact Check: Rates PolitiFact as Least Biased to Left-Center with "High" factual reporting, citing a clean record with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).

I've heard the "AOC is worth 29 million" before and actually way more than that. 

It's truly funny how a chain of slightly more respectable conservative outlets will vaguely cite the source and repeat the false claim, and make it more valid through their percieved vs actual credibility.

Lot's of "mistakes" being "declared" lately by many politicians!

Many of those are under investigation too!

Chop and Slice is on the way!

Some theories cite the old 100th Monkey Theory that has newcomers inheriting the instincts of the elders.  

Older Politicians cheat to make money so therefore the new Politicians have the instinctive knowelege already built in.

I don't want to come off as misogynistic, but maybe AOC just needs a real man.

Are you offering to step up to the plate??!!

She is all about the theatre of it, I seem to remember her posing in front of an empty detention center crouching down all anguished..kinda revolting how fake. I also remember her fake wearing handcuffs at some protest. I don't like drama queens.

[Waterglass]

They LOVE Her!!         

AOC surges to lead in 2028 primary for first time—most accurate pollster

Thats beacuse the majority of them are so ignorant they dont even realize that she NEVER took an Economics exam, test or quiz at Boston University. Someone else either took the tests or they just penciled the grade in. I have taken way too many Microeconomics, Macroeconomics at both Undergraduate and Graduate levels along with Statistics. She knows nothing about finance, economics or Capitalism. Nor does the majority of her voting block.  Thats why she was never hired on Wall Street and her first venture business failed [bookstore]. She knows alot about how to  destroy an economy, country and blame all the other races. 

Does anyone recall she cried that mommy have to leave New York City for Florida because mommy couldnt afford the taxes? Well to this day those same dwellings that were previously owned by mommy or daddy are currently in the ownership of her brother. I kept all the tax records and everything else so if she climbs the information gets sent to all the wrong right wingers
