Surely in the spirit of socialist equality she will also take on the $52k salary as well?
Surely no socialist would ever be hypocritical when it comes to making themselves richer ?
ACTION-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE AOC PERSONAL AND GOVT CIRCLE IS CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO SHE MIGHT HAVE PLACED ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.
It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. (Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in).
These maneuvers leave a huge paper trail.

Isn't boyfriend a little too white for her tastes?
“”nevertheless 18 staffers seems like a lot””
Not when you consider all the problems they have to cause; all the ridiculous resolutions/bills they have to write that will go nowhere, retract everything they say or she says - never ending cycle. Staff really are the ones who write everything their “puppets” say on the floor of the House or Senate and in committee hearings.
52,000 a year is nothing in DC or NYC
I saw that last night and I wondered how you take a pay cut when you just got the job.
I laughed. I don’t recall hearing this one before.
Someday her metrosexual love interest will get dumped for someone more helpful to her upward trending career.
The judge will enforce palimony from him despite his salary being far lower than AOC’s legally stated income as a public servant (not counting bribes, Soros group funding and laundered money from campaign funds to her and the value of gift jewelry,shoes,bags,designer outfits and 90% off mortgage deals on condos and a summer house in the Hamptons).
She will put on a shaky little girl’s voice like Prof.Blasey Ford and cry, requiring her attorney to offer his handkerchief, and between sobs get out the words “Please, please your honor. I’ll be helpless without some money. I’m just a woman. Just a woman.”
The judge will award her a fortune.
“”WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS””
Kind of early for that, isn’t it?
A 1,000 sq ft house costs $300,000+ in a decent neighborhood and taxes are sky high.
I wonder if buffalo caused global warming when ther e were millions of them roaming the plains?
Posted a zillioni times but here’s the point everyone is missing:
All Reps get a budget for up to 18 staff members plus 4 part-timers that runs about $1.2 million/year. How they divide it up is up to them, but clearly if they hire 18 people and pay them the same, no one is going to make more than $66K per year. She could hire half as many and pay them $132K, it’s up to her.
But here’s the missing piece: What do the other 434 members of the House think about this? What would a staffer who has worked for a Congressman for 10 years and taken a lot of crap think about knowing that someone coming in off the street working for AOC is making the same salary - or more?
Point is - through her virtue signalling, AOC is sowing even more discontent within the D ranks and widening the split between herself and the rank and file Democrat Reps, as well as the R’s.
She’s already pre-empted their policy ideas - how long before it’s safe to say “everybody hates her”?
Its not HER money she’s promising to pay them with.
Everybody knows that there are huge piles of money just lying around and the only problem is they are not allocated correctly.
I find no problem with congress member paying staffers 52,000 in their DC and NYC offices
I don’t see the boyfriend sticking around for much longer Liz.
Feel sorry for the guy and all...
This is drop in bucket as things go but our debt is $22 TRILLION and rapidly growing. Is this a race to get as much out of the guv money tree until it collapses? A collapsed system still benefits the Socialists.
She pays her tribe well as she takes away from the other tribes not going to end well.
“”If she believed in real financial equality, she’d reduce her salary to match that of her aides.””
You are so right - great thinking!! Cold weather hasn’t affected that, has it?
