"But Ocasio-Cortez's largesse... has instead raised awkward questions among her colleagues as some swing-district Democrats fret over whether to return her money before the GOP can turn it into an attack ad."

Democrats don’t have to worry about attack ads.

They own the media.

In fact, I’m surprised we heard about this.

As, the kiss of death. AOC’s way of stabbing moderate dems in the back to make way for her squad mates. She (or whoever does her thinking for her) may not be as dumb as she appears to be.

The bartender is bringing in big tips. What service is she rendering for them?

"She... may not be as dumb as she appears to be."

The problem with her is she is stupid, but borderline not. She plays her dumb brunette part well.

Last election they decided they didn’t even have to accept a candidate’s paid ads.

Brave New Commune this is.

“DCCC aides gave lawmakers’ wire transfer information to Ocasio-Cortez’s aides without the approval of more senior officials”

like it was a candybar. Who wants to bet it wasn’t on a secure network?

Not a good idea to get involved in the AOC Pelosi feud. This is like a parent giving child support directly to the kids rather than to the custodial parent.

Ordinarily I’d shrug. Even out of principle, I’d shrug. People can do what they want with their money.

But the Democrats are always insistent about campaign finance laws. They bend and break them every way they can, but still fret about it publicly. Transfers from one campaign to another should be illegal. Transfers from one campaign to a party, or vice versa, should also be illegal.

But yeah I know good luck with all that.

As for AOC, still wondering about all those LLCs she owned with similar sounding names as her PACs. And I wonder if she still hasn’t paid her party dues and maybe sending out checks to members of congress she likes in part to curry favor and distract from the demands that she pay the $200,000 or whatever it is that the party demands of her.

“”Transfers from one campaign to another should be illegal.””

Didn’t the Sanchez sisters from Orange County, CA get in trouble over that - Linda and Loretta? One cheated to win the election over B1 Bob - Dornan years ago? So long ago, I’ve forgotten names and we lived there at the time it took place. It was something like this with the sisters or moving money from one congressional office to another between them for office expenses etc.? I think one of them is still in office..
