Big banks could be about to get a high-profile enemy in a very powerful place.
Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is a registered Democrat but identifies as a democratic socialist, is in line to be appointed to the House Financial Services Committee, according to a Politico report.
The New York legislator has vowed to take on the industry that makes up the corporate backbone for much of her constituency. She said during her successful campaign in 2018, in which she refused corporate donors and upset entrenched incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley, that she was hoping for an assignment that would allow her to take on big finance.
"I think with our district, we can be ambitious, so we're kind of swinging for the fences on committees," Ocasio-Cortez told Hill.tv in an interview after her win. "We might as well ask for something big."

Oh well, if the billoinaire bankers didn’t support democrats 99 to 1 I might feel a teensy tiny bit of concern for them. But dems are clear on what they want to do, they say it out loud for years and the big shot wall street execs throw money at them anyway. Now they’re just getting what they paid for.
Comparing this retard to a Math PhD is an insult to Ted.
“Good God...if she were to give me change as a 7 Eleven clerk I’d count it three times!”
So you suck at counting change too....
lmao
LAZ
Yeah, it takes a genius to get a BA in International Relations.
There is NOTHING that Occasional Cortex or even Chairman Maxine and her James Brown wig can do to hurt our banking system.
The worst they can do is summon bank executives before their chickensh*t committee and b*tch at them (...b*tches that they are.....) They don’t control the Fed, the SEC, etc. They have no power. They’re just braying ugly STUPID Jack@sses.
I seriously think that Ocasio-Cortez may be facing a primary opponent in 2020 with the covert support of Pelosi and the DNC.
The Democrats want obedient members and the loose cannon AOC doesn’t fit that description. Her primary victory was also a testimonial to a complacent incumbent who neglected his district. I think that a Latino challenger will be recruited.
Great job in November “Amerika”! The perfect banana republic fake election/freak show. Elections do have consequences and you are about to suffer a lot of them. Enjoy.
Let her put her own constituents out of work. NYC the former financial capital of the world.
She isn’t much worse than Mad Max.
I’ve been in the banking world for 39 years. Teddy Kennedy and Henry Gonzalez were the banking torturers in the 80’s. She is not nearly as intelligent as either of those brain-dead freaks were, but I sense she probably be at least as annoying. Banking and Marxism doesn’t mix too well.
+1
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, "I don't care who you are, that's funny!" !!!!!
fortunately AOC is WAY to stupid AND ignorant to function effectively on ANY committee she’s assigned ...
The Community Reinvestment Act and government intrusion caused the last Recession.
They could very well do it again.
Remember Maxine ‘there’s nothing wrong with Freddie and Fanny’ Waters.
Yup — the jokes would just write themselves if they did that.
“I think with our district, we can be ambitious, so we’re kind of swinging for the fences on committees,” Ocasio-Cortez told Hill.tv in an interview after her win. “We might as well ask for something big.”
She literally reeks of financial expertise here.
