AOC REFUSES to pay $250,000 in dues from the Democrats because the party 'clearly told people like me that we're not welcome' New York Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is holding back $250,000 in dues she owes the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee AOC says she won't pay up because she doesn't see why she should give 'to an organization that has clearly told people like me that we're not welcome'
The dues, paid from her campaign fundraising, are earmarked to help keep the Democratic House majority The 30-year-old was referring to a policy that she says 'blacklists' vendors working with insurgent primary challengers like herself
'I don't think my fundraising should go to preventing more people like me from being here in congress,' she said in an interview with Fox News.
The news outlet reported on Friday that AOC drew fire for not failing to pay the committee.
She insisted: 'I'm a Democrat, I'm proud to be on this team. I'm proud to be part of the Democratic majority,' she told Fox News, amid criticism she should quit the party and become an independent if she won't be a 'team player.'
In her defense, AOC said she's raised more than $300,000 directly for progressive Democrats, including incumbents in swing districts, and that the effort she made was for 'preserving and expanding the Democratic majority'.
All Democrats in the House are required to pay dues to the campaign committee. A range is set from as low as $150,000 for newer members to $1 million paid by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi, on AOC winning that seat.
You can add to that list blowing off the Amazon deal which would have brought a boatload of jobs and money to her district.
I LMFAO when fools vote for these contemptuous scum who are nothing but liars,hypocrites and thieves.
Thanks for bringing that up. Too bad FR doesn’t allow editing posts or I would add that one in. Her voters are going to remember that one in November.
And she's braindead moron, and she's a Bernie supporter, and she's a defacto enemy of Pelosi -- yeah, she'll have a really long political career.
AOC threads bring out some great jokes!!
She obviously wears those glasses to try and look smarter.

AOC and her allies will finance the establishment of a new political that will steal the imported democrat vote from the democrat party. Thus, through open borders policy democrats will have created a Frankenstein’s Monster.
another communist deadbeat in Congress. Sen. Sanders has a crapload of money and excess homes, but does he give it to the poor, homeless or drug-addicted, NOOOOO!. The same with Liz “”I’m An Indian I tell You” Warren, Nancy “Mob Moma” Pelosi, and Joe Biden’s son.
Look at those lips in post 21, tell me she don’t.
I don’t think she will win her seat THIS TIME!! She has caused way to many problems for the party AND she has become to big for her britches, I worry because this little bitch has the FULL BACKING of Soros SO let’s see just how much power this commie really has when it comes down to it!! I also don’t think Omar will get her seat back either, YES her district is Muslim HOWEVER with her affair AND funny money going to his company from her campaign which is LOCAL news in her district I don’t think she will be going back!!!
$250k? Chump change for an elected democrat..
Like I said, it will be interesting to see who is left standing :)
It may work for Meghan Markle. Reports are the royal family are afraid she will do a tell-all interview so the family split may result in the Sussexes keeping titles and money. The Dems should be worried about AOC, she could spill some beans, I’m sure.
Looks yummy!
She feels little differently about President Trump's removing a man who has killed many of his own people and many Americans..."Last night the President engaged in what is widely being recognized as an act of war against Iran, one that now risks the lives of millions of innocent people,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Now is the moment to prevent war & protect innocent people – the question for many is how, publicly & Congressionally.” says AOC.
Ms. Cortez, removing your enemy is NOT an act of war. Reneging on a contract is an act of defiance, failure to preform.....defiance - war whatever.
She sure is endearing herself to the dems, isn’t she?
She’ll be history in a few months.
They are not going to tolerate her rogue behavior.
They all are.
I don't see one of those socialists leading by example.
