Ocasio-Cortez Complains About Not Getting Congressional Paycheck Yet: ‘How Do I Get An Apartment?’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apparently believes the “electoral system” is unfair because she can’t receive her congressional salary until she’s actually sworn in as a member of Congress.

On Thursday, the 29-year-old socialist spoke with The New York Times about her election victory on Tuesday.

But rather than discuss her ideas for Congress, Ocasio-Cortez complained about not being able to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C.

Given that she will not be sworn in as a member of Congress until January, the Democratic socialist complained about not receiving her congressional salary for another three months.

“I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress, so how do I get an apartment?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Those little things are very real.”

Ocasio-Cortez said she and her “partner” have been saving money since her days as a bartender in New York, but decried that it wasn’t enough to get her an apartment in D.C.

Here comes the economic genius demanding free stuff like your typical socialist.

I guess she feels she is entitled to her paycheck even though she has not worked 1 day in congress.

“I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress, so how do I get an apartment?”

You use the same solution you had for paying for "Medicare for All". You just pay for it. Easy Peasy.

There’s always pole dancing...

[TexasGator]

What about calling Soros?

[Turbo Pig]

Oh man, it was only 2 days after the election and she’s already delivering cringe-worthy sound bites. This is AWESOME!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Correct answer! Ding ding ding!

[marktwain]

This is so stupid.

People will be lining up to make loans to her, or to “lend” he an apartment in D.C.

I wonder if this is her way to line up the bidders.

“Yes, the apt is nice, and close to Congress, but does domestic help, and free food go with it?”

This person is likely going to be a gift that will give generously to Repubs and conservatives (in terms of idiotic and ridiculous comments and talking points) for that good while to come.

[COUNTrecount]

She can bar-tend and steal tips.

Like she did before.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

She’ll start a Go Fund Me page and collect 1.5 years salary in the next three months. You read it here.

She has a degree in economics but doesn't know how wealth is generated nor from where money comes. She can't manage her own life, and yet wants to dictate how Americans should live.

It never occurred to her to get a part time job until her new gig starts.

[Clay Moore]

I would be happy to make her a Payday loan. Don’t worry about that 5 digit interest rate. I’m redistributing your wealth. You should be happy!

.......love it......

[muskah]

There are some nice women’s shelters close to the Capitol. They also feed you.

In the name of diversity and inclusion I'm thinking of starting a comic strip with Occluded Cortex, Mad Maxine, and poop city pelosi. I'd call it the DC Stooges.

[Enlightened1]

Haha!

Or she can Bar tend again. After all that was her last job.

[UCANSEE2]

Maybe she should just resign and stay where she’s at.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Well there is a really old profession, even older than tribal leader she would be qualified for. With a mouth like hers it reminds me of the golf ball / garden hose adage. Doesn’t take a lick of wits either so she is perfectly qualified.

[Enlightened1]

Exactly!
