Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other federal politicians - including two Democrats and one Republican - have shelled out thousands in campaign payments to a Chinese foreign agent, a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records has found.
Reps. Kevin Mullin, D.-Calif., Grace Meng, D.-N.Y, and Nicole Malliotakis, R.-N.Y. joined Ocasio Cortez in pushing campaign cash to Sing Tao U.S., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao News Corporation Ltd, for advertising expenses during the midterm election cycle.
Those campaigns, in other words, had sent their money to a Chinese-owned entity that the Department of Justice forced to register as a Chinese foreign agent in August 2021 as tensions rose between Washington and Beijing.
After the DOJ determined that Sing Tao U.S. constituted foreign political activity, the campaigns had all disbursed their cash to the company.
Ocasio-Cortez's campaign dropped nearly $1,500 on advertisements with Sing Tao Newspapers during the midterm election cycle after it had registered as a foreign agent, while Reps. Mullin, Meng, and Malliotakis paid between $1,000 and $7,000 to various Sing Tao entities as part of their campaign advertising expenses, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Sing Tao's United States operations include Chinese language publications in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It also has a radio station in Burlingame, California.

They should automatically be removed from office. This is nothing short of Treason!
All doing this need need to be rounded up and sent to gitmo
As Harry Reid famously said…..We won, didn’t we?
Considering the icy weather outside, gitmo might be a welcome respite.
It makes sense, all our personal data is going to the Chinese so they know what motivates each potential voters...... plus all the voting systems feed back to China just in case those ads did not motive...... makes perfect sense.....
In less complicated times, if they were at sea, what would happen?
Well... that’s one half of the cash flow
What about the money flowing from china into politician pockets?
Collusion.
Yep. Arrest them!
Just keelhaul them.
Eh. Looks like chicken-scratch amounts to advertise in Chinese-language rags in the US. Standard Democrat fare.
Or worse. 🤗
Too many foreign spies in our government. Bring back public hangings.
Thanks for the ping.
My pleasure.
