Ocasio Cortez Campaign Fined For Not Providing Workmans Comp Coverage
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/10/19 | V Sharma

Posted on 01/10/2019 6:33:00 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

GOP spokeswoman Jessica Proud told the outlet that the incident represented “hypocrisy at its finest.”

“The so-called champion of workers, when given her own responsibility, is not following the law. It’s unbelievable,” Proud said.

Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign was fined $1,500 by New York for failing to provide workers’ compensation coverage for a month in early 2018.

The 29-year-old Democratic Socialist's campaign “did not have the required workers’ compensation coverage from March 31, 2018, to April 30, 2018, and was issued a final penalty of $1,500, which was paid,” Melissa Stewart, director of public information at the state’s Workers Compensation Board told the New York Daily News.

“This coverage is vital to ensuring workers are protected for on-the-job injuries,” Stewart said.

Well, hell, that's a bargain at twice the price. Save tens of thousands of dollars in worker's comp payment for a measly 1500 dollars??? Why don't more people do that? Oh, right, because their fines would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I think it’s just more evidence of her naivety & stupidity.
She is dumber than a bag of hammers.

AOC apparently has staff writing her tweets now as they suddenly became somewhat more coherent. Although,the radical content is becoming more pronounced.

I noticed the change in tone in the tweets. While radical they come across as “professional.” The question is, did she pay at least $15/hr to all her staff?

The TV, talk radio stations, and press should shout this hypocrisy from the rooftops!

Democrats (Socialist or otherwise) are hypocrites. Liberals are hypocrites.

Hypocrisy never applies to the Left.

Her supporters will simply say: she got tangled in one of the traps of "the man".

They will never find fault with her for a bureaucratic error.

She is a "big picture" woman. Can't be bothered with details, ya know.

Even though everything in her program hinges on the details, and getting the details right all the time.

I am not criticing the poster here. I have a simple point. This air head deserves to be totally ignored. She is a communists. She has never had an original thought and she has no clue as to the effect of hers Soros talking points she reads. Ignore her.
