Twitter shames Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend into getting a haircut
NY Post ^ | May 5, 2019 | Tamar Lapin

Posted on 05/07/2019 5:50:02 AM PDT by SJackson

After her shaggy boyfriend was called a “bin raccoon,” New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to tout his new haircut.

The freshman Democratic congresswoman from the Bronx posted a video showing off beau Riley Roberts’ fresh look after people ripped him to shreds over his appearance in the Netflix documentary “Knock Down the House.”

“The internet roasted Riley into getting a haircut/glow up after #KnockDownTheHouse,” Ocasio-Cortez, 29, captioned the video on her Instagram story.

In the footage, she can be heard fawning over Roberts, 29, telling him, “You look good! Ooooh, look at that shape-up!”

Roberts’ makeover was in response to critics of the overgrown locks and facial hair he sported in the doc about the 2018 primary campaigns of four Democratic women, starring Ocasio-Cortez.

“Wait a minute … AOC’s boyfriend looks like THIS?” tweeted one user.

Another person went as far as to brand Roberts a “bin raccoon” in a since-deleted tweet.

I don't have a clue what a bin racoon is. I thought the long beard looked OK. It's nice to see a political figure where we're discussing his beard, rather than his perceived gender or choice of sexual partner.

She has to be laughing hard about all this in private.
She realized there’s a sucker born every minute, and is playing the 47% well.
Gotta give her credit.
She’ll learn, watch her words, pick her fights, and grow. Watch...

He has too much ginger and is too white for a woke grrrl like AOC. He could have walked off the set of Happy Days.

AOC should have a BOC — Boyfriend of Color to prove her street cred. How about Wesley "Mumia" Cook:

Is the boyfriend still sucking up tax dollars on her payroll? Digging reveals suspicious payments to AOC’s boyfriend began early.

FACTS ON FILE
<><> Absent a waiver from House Ethics, family members have to be volunteers to get official house.gov email addresses,
<><> AOC’s office apparently doesn’t believe in having unpaid workers; according to her COS they have no volunteers in the office.
<><> So boyfriend Roberts is designated as staff but also isn’t on AOC’s staff,
<><> even though Roberts showed up in the House directory as processing into her personal office as a staffer.

That explains why AOC was so determined to pay volunteers---she and the b/f would richly benefit.

=========================================

Ocasio-Cortez's office sure looks swampy
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/20/19 | Becket Adams / FR Posted by DeathBeforeDishonor1

For a freshman member of Congress, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is remarkably swampy. During the 2018 election, her campaign funneled payments to Brand New Congress PAC, which in turn funneled payments to Brand New Congress LLC, which then made payments to her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, meaning the then-candidate effectively funneled money back to herself, according to Federal Election Commission filings compiled this week by GOP operative Luke Thompson.

As if that weren’t shady and ethically dubious enough, Brand New Congress PAC, which carried Ocasio-Cortez’s fledgling campaign to victory, was co-founded by her current chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, who served formerly as her campaign chairman.At least, this is what the FEC filings tell us. I'd be curious to see if the congresswoman has a version of events contradicting the story the numbers tell. Her office did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.

Thompson documented the details Wednesday in a Medium post. The most relevant parts read: AOC paid Brand New Congress LLC for strategic consulting, in her case totaling $18,880.14. Unlike in the other cases, Brand New Congress PAC turned around and paid her boyfriend as a 'marketing consultant.'

[W]hile Brand New Congress PAC’s ten largest expenditures were paid to Brand New Congress LLC for 'strategic consulting,' a sum that totaled $261,165.20 over the course of the campaign, its eleventh and twelfth largest expenditures were paid to Riley Roberts. Brand New Congress PAC paid her boyfriend Roberts $3,000 on August 9th. Eighteen days later, AOC’s campaign paid Brand New Congress LLC $6,191.32: A month later Brand New Congress PAC then turned around and paid Riley Roberts another $3,000.

Why would Chakrabarti, a founding engineer at Stripe and a wealthy veteran of Silicon Valley, be hiring a no-name 'UX Experience' guy with little discernible marketing experience to serve as Brand New Congress PAC’s sole marketing consultant? The answer seems to be that Chakrabarti was funneling money paid to him by AOC’s campaign back to Roberts and by extension to AOC.

The finer details are convoluted, but the toplines are this: There are two separate "Brand New" entities. First, there’s the PAC, which raises money it can contribute to candidates' committees. Then there’s the LLC, which is also co-founded by Chakrabarti. This second entity, “provides campaign services to candidates to help lower the barriers to entry,” Thompson explains, adding, “LLCs do not have to disclose or itemize their spending.”

===============================

Taxpayers demand to see all of AOC's financial records as a member of Congress....outlays WE paid for.
We need to see AOC's correspondence, emails, snail mails, hard drives, wire-transfers, text files, offshore banking activity, and the like.

ACTION—Demand to see govt reports of all tax dollars outlaid to AOC, and everyone employed in her office.......including her boyfriend and family members.

ACTION--DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU ALL AVAILABLE GOVT INFORMATION specifically govt vouchers submitted by AOC:
<><> credit cards,
<><> gift cards,
<><> cell phone/landline bills,
<><> electronic/wire transfers,
<><> detailed expense accounts,
<><> transportation expenses
<><> office expenses
<><> office equipment expenses
<><> office supplies,
<><> unusual stamp purchases (a classic govt corruption MO)
<><> housing allotments,
<><> clothing allotments,
<><> entertainment
<><> household help,
<><>reimbursements for varied ancillary interests.

==================================

ACTION-—TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW WHO IN THE AOC PERSONAL AND GOVT CIRCLE IS CASHING GOVT PAYCHECKS, WHO HAS APPLIED FOR GOVT PENSIONS, AND WHO SHE MIGHT HAVE PLACED ON THE GOVT PAYROLL.It’s an old trick politicians use-—hand-picking people and putting them on several govt payrolls. (Long after you think they’re gone, they’re still cashing in).These maneuvers leave a huge paper trail.
