Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k in Queens Saturday that she billed as “a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day.” But many of the 400 runners didn’t realize their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign coffers. “We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,” the freshman Democrat told the participants before they set off.

Sounded like she was pretty clear about it. If they didn’t get it, I don’t know why.

My is she just dumb. She could have told the truth and she would have had as many participants.

The name implies that the money was going to her policy , not to her campaign coffers. Some of the participants probably don’t separate the two but others might.

Isn’t she already supposed to be in trouble for some swindling alreadY? How many times are we going to watch politicians, Democrat ones specifically, every time, get away with things? Two tier justice certainly seems to be able to see just fine and see to it nothing is done.

You Deplorables are just upset because none of you were invited to the race. AOC and I are very good friends. So I was invited. And here's a photo of some AOC supporters at the starting line.

No she was NOT "clear" about what she claimed AND since children were also taking part, WITH THE FEES PAID FOR BY THEIR PARENTS, in the child's name, which is ILLEGAL, vis-a-vis political campaign contributions, she and those parents broke the law!

A much better article about this, with more details, is in the N.Y. Post.

She needs Hillary to tutor her. Small potatoes, she's committed hundreds of millions in fraud.

CONgress. Making millionaires out of dumbasses for decades. Some people can spot a gravy train from a mile a way. Others don’t realize they are on one.

I would say she is doing pretty well in the fraud department. She is doing better than Hillary at the same age. Fortunately for her, she is a democrat woman of color so she will get away with every single criminal act she chooses to commit.
