AOC went to the bank on Friday and demanded to see a mortgage banker. She explained that she had found a home in Georgetown, with stunning views of the Potomac River, and she just had to have it. The price was $7.5 million.
The banker said, “That’s great! How much money do you have for a down-payment?”. To which, AOC replied “None.”.
“Well then, what’s your annual income?” asked the banker.
AOC perked up and proudly said: “I’m a US Congress-woman and I make $174,000 a year!!”.
The banker said, “Look - there’s no way I can get a mortgage for you on a $7.5 million house with nothing down, and when you only make $174,000. The principal & interest alone is nearly $400,000.”
To which AOC replied: “The problem is, this conversation shouldn’t be about numbers.”

Absolutely spot on. That is exactly how she's thinking. She might say to him, if you don't give me the loan, I'll have you killed.
