According to this news article that was just published by CNN, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted the following:
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.
Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.
Have fun!
Ocasio-Cortez is threatening to use her power as a federal lawmaker to punish someone who exercised his first amendment right to free speech.
Such a threat is a violation of House Ethics rules.
The Congressional Committee on Ethics states:
https://ethics.house.gov/campaign-activity/campaign-contributions-and-contributors
Members and staff are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.
That was my first thought as well. However, she is not yet seated, so technically she is not constrained. As soon as she takes office, howver, this theat can and will be used against her.
I keep wondering about how dumb the people of her district are to have knowingly elected her to office. If you thought SHE was the dumb one...
Not even on board and AOC is in trouble.
That is a special kind of stupid.

A. O-Cortez committed her own version of ‘Border Crossing’ 29 long ago!
Just learned well from her elders.
She’s all set for a career as a democrat politician.
Her only gaffe is that she announced it. She hasn’t been schooled enough to keep her mouth shut and just do it.
Occasional-Cortex truly is the new face of the dem party. In their arrogance, they aren’t even trying to hide their power grab any more.
Saw one the other day that she read on a TV box, “Built in Antenna” and Said,
“I don’t know where Antenna is”!!?!!
Potential conversation with O.C from Nancy Pelosi:
This could be actionable by the ethics committee...People have come to me asking if they should refer it to the committee.
I am considering it.
You are new, and do not understand how things work here, so it can be forgiven.
I will always be available to you if you need advice and counsel.
Of course, I can help you much better when I am the Speaker.
She’s gone mad with power before even taking office!
To the Trump administration regarding the relentless attacks coming from the democrats: a good offense is the best defense. The democrats offer a target-rich environment of lawlessness and corruption. With minimum effort the democrats can be kept so busy defending themselves that they’d have little time to go after Trump.
It’s the FM electronic chip in the screw on top, Alex.
.
Too bad she hasn’t been sworn in yet. Besides, ignorance of the law is a defence, if you’re a democrat, the dirty rats!
Yep. When was the last time any commie rat 🐀 bastard was held accountable for anything?
This bug-eyed idiot is the gift that keeps giving. She’s going to make her insane party look even more so.
Time to tell the rat fascists that we don’t recognize their authority.
I do not believe she is.
She simply believes a lot of things that are false.
She has very little experience with reality.
She has been fed the same lies most of her life.
Now, she is going into a place that positively crackles with political power.
Small nuances can be worth millions of dollars.
A little inference can affect millions of lives.
People will spend plenty of time and money shaping her the way they want...
I doubt she has the mental resources to resist.
Maybe we will be surprised...
It is not the smart way to bet.
Doesn’t matter. It was a threat. Impeach.
