Ocasio-Cortez: 'Major crime' against Katie Hill will deter other female candidates
The Hill via MSN ^ | 10/31/19 | Zack Budryk

Posted on 11/01/2019 2:39:43 AM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says fellow freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.), who is resigning her seat citing a series of explicit photographs published in conservative outlets, was the victim of a "major crime" that could deter other young women from running for office.

Hill is the subject of an ethics investigation into allegations of an affair with a staffer in her congressional office, but she specifically cited the photographs, the release of which she attributes to her estranged husband, in her resignation announcement. She has denied the affair but conceded a relationship with a campaign staffer, which does not violate House rules.

"I don't think we're really talking about how targeted and serious this is. We're talking about a major crime... being committed against her," Ocasio-Cortez told Politico, saying "of course" the incident will intimidate other women thinking of launching their own campaigns.

"This doesn't happen to male members in the same way - revenge porn in this respect. It's horrific," Ocasio-Cortez added.

Nope. They know how to properly use the slush fund to cover up stuff like this. Cortez's biggest mistake - forgetting all about the other 49 genders.

“She has denied the affair but conceded a relationship with a campaign staffer, which does not violate House rules.”

WTF? I thought this explicitly violated House Ethics rules, that’s why there’s an Ethics investigation? The Rats control the House, thus control all investigations. The Hill is committing a crime with this lie IMHO.

Cortez seems to think this will ‘deter’ other females from office? Why is that? Doesn’t she really mean it will deter other females with adulterous behavior and pornographic pictures? The stupid burns with this womyn. And always, always call her just Cortez, because it’s well known she hates it.

AOC is not smart enough to understand that she wants biased justice.

Katie Hill broke the rules, but should be allowed to stay.

Trump broke no rules, but should be impeached.

You see, if you are a loyal party member, your transgressions can be forgiven.

If you are a party opponent, you must be personally destroyed and driven out.

This is socialism on display folks.

Look at the UK where political speech is now punishable with prison if those in power disapprove.

Talk about secrecy, the Hush Fund Slush Fund is guarded with the utmost secrecy . The first rule of the Hush Fund is not to talk about it. Where are the leakers ?

Go for it AOC, leak the Who, What , How and Where of the Hush Fund and let the chips fall where they may. If she were to leak that information, I’d expect her to die in a untimely manner .

How queer, the FIB tried to blackmail President Trump with the threat and subsequent deliberate leak of a false rumor that Donald Trump had been compromised by a “pee pee video” made in Russia.

So even when porn doesn’t exist, the Deep State uses revenge porn attacks to blackmail officials.

“...who is resigning her seat citing a series of explicit photographs...”

“is resigning”? She’s been freakin resigning for a week. Either resign or don’t just get on with it!

What was up with the Iron cross tattoo?

I get that the Iron Cross predates the Nazis, but since then the war it seems to be the usual explanation.

Is she some former skater or something?

Or is she a typical Democratic pol? Underneath really a Nazi?

..explicit photographs published in conservative outlets.

Conservative outlets? Only? So these fuzzy and obscured pictures didn't appear in any of the MSM rags and shows? Really?

What a vapid attempt at deflection.

Was in Kabul in ‘11. The German Army had medical folks there as part of ISAF. Their armored up medical vehicles had large Iron Crosses on them. Struck me as odd/weird.

It’s telling of the thought process in the democratic party today that they all seem to be focused on the fact that Hill’s pictures got out instead of the actual content of the pictures. They’re implying that it’s a crime that someone caught her, but the content showing her smoking dope from a bong while frolicking nude with someone who works for her is no big deal.

This has a lot of parallels with the current impeachment fiasco. Democrats are trying to make the focus of the matter the fact that Trump wanted Biden’s shady dealings investigated instead of focusing on the fact that Biden was using his office to set his son up with cush no-show jobs in an elaborate pay for access scheme. Want access to the vice president? Give my boy a $50K a month job and we’ll talk.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

If the democrats are able to normalize this practice then it’ll be a free for all from here on out. The criticism of political corruption will not be tolerated. If you dare question our kickbacks or affairs with underlings then we’ll impeach you or accuse you of misogyny. You see, it’s not about the fact that we’re corrupt, it’s about the fact that you want to bring our corruption to light.

Hell I’ve trained German pilots in planes with the cross. It’s the national symbol. To be expected.

Very unexpected hidden on a supposed liberal Congresswoman.

I bet she has an interesting past.

I am still surprised Pelosi asked her to resign over what has been reported. What else hasn’t been reported?

Exactly. There is much more to the story. She’ s resigning for something that hasn’t been disclosed.

Ocasio supports the Judenrein movement.
Showing tattoos of its memders is mean...
