"Squad" member and congresswoman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has reportedly tied a turkey giveaway to political campaign donations, according to a report from the New York Post.
The outlet reported that an email was sent out by Ocasio-Cortez that stated, “Thanksgiving is two weeks away. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can today to help us bring the joy of the holiday season into homes around NYC this year?”
However, clicking on the contribution link sends those who read the email to a campaign fundraising page on the Democrat donations platform, ActBlue. Those submitting donations were prompted to make one-time or repeated donations, the outlet reported.

AOC is such a grifter.
New and innovative ways of grifting is a resume enhancer for democrats.......much like breathing, it comes as easily as any other involuntary reflex.
Back in the day, we called ‘em flim flam men.
Joy? I thought Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about colonialism and oppression from lefts point of view.
Grifters always find interesting ways to grift its what they do
Just another DEMONCRAT proving they have no soul.
The ad didn’t specify which homes would be experiencing joy from your contributions.
Does it come as a surprise that demonicRATS say they need money to fix something and then the money doesn't go to what they said it was supposed to go to and ends up in their own pockets instead?
Imagine that.
Fraud might be a good word to describe this.
Then I get the emails from “virtuousconservatives.com” for every candidate, every day, as well.
It does not matter that you have replied STOP to texts or Unsubscribe to every fraudulent email these send—you will always be ignored because you have given a fair amount of money, in the past.
I will not again give to any such candidate or campaign. I am finished.
I may give up to $50 anonymously, via mail, to help—but it won't have a name attached. That is the greatest you can give without a candidate having to tie it to you.
The daily harassment FOR LIFE has sapped me dry. I have done STOPs and U subscribes nearly a 1,000 times, each. It never matters. They make a new list or use a different fake phone number to hit you with that same candidate or message.
Which will be higher?
> The number of people connected to the internet via rural broadband installations made under Biden?
> The number of turkeys purchased by AOC?
(Trick question: answer will be zero for both)
Can we put her in a bird suit and drop her from a helicopter, a’ la WKRP ‘Operation Turkey Drop’?

People donate to “ActBlue”.
ActBlue takes 30% off the top, at least, then uses the other 70% (at best) to feed others this Thanksgiving.
Bingo.
The Big Guy:
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”
Maybe, one of the all time funniest sitcom episodes ever.
Normally, the crooks in Congress adopt a more complex way of conning and stealing their way to great wealth than AOC’s bait and switch. She obviously slept her way through the freshmen congress crooks orientation, or else was too IQ challenged to understand it.
AOC = Another Obnoxious Communist.
Of course. Where did you think it would go?
