Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) responded Tuesday to criticism from Ivanka Trump by suggesting Trump's daughter learned about working "for tips & hourly wages ... 2nd-hand." "As a person who actually worked for tips & hourly wages in my life, instead of having to learn about it 2nd-hand, I can tell you that most people want to be paid enough to live," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, with a link to reports of Ivanka Trump slamming Ocasio-Cortez earlier in the day. "A living wage isn’t a gift, it’s a right. Workers are often paid far less than the value they create," she continued. Rep....

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Wednesday asked President Trump's onetime personal attorney Michael Cohen if Trump had intentionally devalued his real estate assets to reduce his tax bills, to which Cohen responded, "Yes." Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight Committee, sought to lay the groundwork for lawmakers to potentially subpoena employees of the Trump Organization -- including its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, who Cohen said was privy to Trump's various money maneuvers and who received immunity from federal prosecutors in New York to testify against Cohen prior to the attorney's guilty plea on federal campaign finance violations last...

WASHINGTON — When she was younger, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she acted like a “white dude” to get ahead. “Like straight up. You think you need to talk a certain way, dress a certain way, have your shoulder pads out to here, be like, ‘Hi Jan!’” she said, deepening her voice in a podcast interview. “You think that’s how you have to move through the world and I found myself subconsciously doing that in high school and in college.” “I felt like I need to write a certain way and talk a certain way,” she went on. “And like the...

BUSTED! Apparently, when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that Americans will have to eat fewer hamburgers to save the planet from global warming, she meant Americans who don’t work for her. That’s reportedly her Chief of Staff just casually destroying the Earth while the celebrity socialist watches:

An FEC complaint alleges AOC may have illegally funneled thousands of dollars through an allied PAC to her boyfriend. DC-based Coolidge Reagan Foundation allege in their complaint that when the Brand New Congress PAC (BNC) -- a political arm of Brand New Congress LLC, hired by Ocasio-Cortez, to run and support her campaign -- paid Riley Roberts for marketing services, it potentially ran afoul of campaign finance law. “It’s not illegal to pay her boyfriend, but it appears they created some sort of scheme to avoid claiming the money [as a campaign expense].” What exactly did he do for that...

Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s daughter and a White House senior adviser, lauded her father’s economy and said the majority of Americans ideologically believe differently than Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in an interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton. “You’ve got people who will see that offer from the Democrats, from the progressive Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Here’s the Green New Deal, here’s the guarantee of a job,’ and think, ‘yeah, that’s what I want, it’s that simple.’ What do you say to those people?” Hilton asked Ivanka Trump in the interview set to air in full on Sunday. “I don’t think...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-Texas) on Tuesday for quoting Benito Mussolini in a tweet. Ocasio-Cortez criticized the former Senate GOP whip for linking fascism to socialism with the tweet, saying it was part and parcel for a party that she said called paying a living wage "socialism." "In case you missed it, while the GOP is calling paying a living wage 'socialism,' a Republican Senator full-on quoted National Fascist Party leader and Hitler ally Benito Mussolini like it’s a Hallmark card," the first-year lawmaker tweeted. Cornyn on Sunday had tweeted a quotation from the Italian fascist dictator. “We were the first...

Arrogant Ocasio-Cortez on Green New Deal: ‘We’re in charge’ — James Woods reminds her: ‘YOU work for US’ By Joe Newby - February 24, 2019 On Friday, newly-elected Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Americans that “we’re in charge” on the so-called Green New Deal, a scheme designed to destroy the entire U.S. economy for generations of Americans. This didn’t sit too well with James Woods, who reminded her in no uncertain terms that she, as a member of Congress, works for the American people, not the other way around. “Yup. If you don’t like the #GreenNewDeal, then come up with...

Martina Markota of The Rebel.media reports on Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appearing a new special edition comic book.

Even the most eager proponents of the Green New Deal would have to admit that the rollout hasn't gone too smoothly. First Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NY congresswoman and de facto leader of the Democratic Party, put out a hilarious GND FAQ (archived here). It has all sorts of crazy nonsense she proposes to accomplish within the next 10 years, like "retrofit every building in America" and "get rid of farting cows and airplanes." She's promising everything but free unicorns for everybody. ... Then, when everybody laughed at this ridiculous fantasy, AOC claimed that the FAQ was just a rough draft that...

The Afternoon Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It’s such a busy day that I thought I’d do some quick takes on the passing scene… My take on the Academy Awards – Every Oscar went to some guy or woman I’ve never heard of for a movie I haven’t seen and won’t see in the future. Oh wait: I have heard of Spike Lee, but after his childish display of petulance last night, I wish I hadn’t. The lack of self-awareness is strong in this one… – Chelsea Clinton complains that her grandmother did not have access to Planned...

Freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday night confirmed The Post’s reporting that she’s relocated to a new Bronx apartment in her neighborhood. A day after residents at the Democratic congresswoman’s listed address told The Post they’d never seen her around, her spokesman on Sunday said she moved recently to a larger apartment “a block and a half away” with her boyfriend. In a tweet, the left-wing darling also said she remained a Bronx resident. “I still live in my hood and literally instagrammed from my apartment tonight,” Ocasio-Cortez, 29, wrote in response to The Post’s reporting. On Saturday,...

In a stream-of-consciousness livestream video yesterday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez revealed a lot more than she intended about her life in the shallow end of the gene pool. It's pretty clear that she regards herself as a fount of insight and wisdom, apparently because her education at Boston University and 29 years of life experience have provided discernment superior to that available to the rest of us — so much so that her random thoughts while cooking are worthy of mass dissemination via livestream video. She came up with some primo idiocy on the livestream, delivered while she endangered herself...

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocated to a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,”...

Communist Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is on a major ego trip in the wake of the unveiling of her radical Green New Deal. The 29-year-old lawmaker popped off at the New York Hall of Science on Friday while speaking on a ‘Girls Who Code’ panel. Ocasio-Cortez sounded like a Socialist dictator (with a Bronx accent) as she reminded the crowd that it’s the radicals who drive the agenda and no one has done what she has in regards to the Green New Deal. Forget the fact that the Green New Deal is completely absurd on the face it. The...

Via the Free Beacon, my plan to drastically reduce carbon emissions is to nuke China, since they’re the global leader and will continue to run on fossil fuels even if we passed the Green New Deal tomorrow.So now I’m the boss, I guess. How ’bout dah? Is her bravado aimed only at right-wing critics of the GND or those on the left as well? She can’t mean to suggest here that she’s the first Democrat to try to move climate-change legislation; her co-sponsor, Ed Markey, actually got a cap-and-trade bill through the House 10 years ago. (The Democratic Senate...

I believe in happy endings. Do you? The biggest political story in America today is AOC (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez). And I know how to produce a happy ending- at least for President Trump, the GOP and capitalism. I believe I can end AOC’s political career, as quickly as it began. For all intents and purposes, AOC is now the face and brand name of socialism. That means if we end AOC, we can end America’s dangerous flirtation with socialism. Democrats love to ask for the tax returns of high profile Republicans. Think Trump. Democrats demand his tax returns all day...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has painted a picture of herself as a tough woman from the Bronx but it appears to be a façade. It has been alleged before that she was raised in the affluent Westchester region of New York and was a fraud. She has strongly denied those accusations and insisted she was raised in the Bronx and Westchester. But now that she is a Congresswoman she insists that she resides full time in the Bronx and her brand is built on that premise. That is when she is not living in her luxury apartment in Washington...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has insisted that she does live in the Bronx, despite claims that her neighbors have never met her. Through a spokesman, the New York Democrat strongly denied a Saturday report in the New York Post, which claimed there was scant evidence that she lives in the Bronx condo where she is registered to vote. 'She lives there,' the freshman congresswoman's spokesman Corbin Trent told DailyMail.com, referring to a condo in the Parkchester neighborhood that was owned by Ocasio-Cortez's late father. 'That's home, period, for her. That's where she gets her energy, her drive. She not only lives...
