LOL !!!
TYPICAL CHEATING DEMOCRAT!!
Hugely illegal.
Congressmen cannot take “gifts” of such value.
Aoc another epic fail. She is the face of the entire left and holds all their brain cells in her vote.
She is a member of the Biden-Harris-Pelosi-AOC-Hillary’s protected race and classes: A rich democrat who donates to democrat politicians.
AOC: So all the free publicity my bare shoulders and my dimples gave them and they’re crying poormouth? Losers.
It’s a shame we have to rely on British newspapers to do the work that US journalists somehow missed.
IRONY ALERT..LOL I guess when AOC says Tax The Rich she means only the Conservatives who are rich, the commies who are rich are exempt
Indeed, it does. It shows how clueless and stupid AOC really is. The top 10% of income earners in the US pay about 72% of total IRS tax revenues while 51% pay no taxes at all. Assuming those people are not dead, some percentage of them are living off transfer payments that the other 49% are paying for in taxes. What AOC ignores is the jobs the rich create. You may envy Bezos and his billions, but he also writes pay checks to over 200,000 people who might otherwise not have a job. Same for Gates, Dell, Cuban, et al. Like it or not, it is the rich who invest in this country and provide jobs for hundreds of thousands of people. We glorify the poor in this country. Why? Indeed, how many of you were hired by a poor person.
well, now that it’s a public figure, let’s see what the IRS has to say?
wait, nevermind...
They should be mocked.
TAX THE REICH!
Oh my, my,
Oh, hell yes,
Got to put on that party dress.

Nothing screams 'liberal elite' like a stinking messy combination of corruption, greed and hypocrisy...
Seems to me AOC had her own issues with unpaid taxes. Has she paid them yet?
How far behind is AOC on her taxes ?
Good grief!
Are you telling us she is niggardly in paying her taxes?
Tax the rich, however I won’t pay property taxes on my Hollywood Hill house... That would be racist, if I have to pay!! 🤓
