Not if you want them made right
“The contradiction may pose problems for the left-wing lawmaker, who has not disclosed her fiancé’s finances”
Really? Seriously?
Problems for the 2020s Left Wing Darling of both the press and most of the old goats in congress? I don’t think so.
Boy toy.
"They are not legally married," AOC spokeswoman Lauren Hitt told the Washington Free Beacon. "House Ethics has commonly recognized the term spouse to extend to long-term partners."
Hitt’s statement is false. The House Ethics Committee, which has sole jurisdiction over the Code of Official Conduct that governs the acts of members of the House, defines a spouse as "someone to whom you are legally married." Ocasio-Cortez had the option to describe Roberts as her fiancé in the forms to the committee, but instead, checked boxes representing him as her "spouse."
The House Ethics Committee declined to comment.
The question shouldn't have been directed at the House Ethics Committee, it should have been asked of the House Oxymoron Committee or the House Non-Sequitur Committee.
