WASHINGTON — Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flouted House ethics rules by accepting more than $3,700 in rented apparel and other gifts for her notorious appearance at the 2021 Met Gala — including a glitzy gown emblazoned with “Tax The Rich” in blood-red letters and a free ticket for her then-boyfriend Riley Roberts — but paying less than $1,000 for the goodies. The House Ethics Committee faulted the Bronx and Queens “Squad” member for not complying with its regulation on gifts and improperly giving Roberts a free ride to the annual charity event put on by Vogue grande dame Anna Wintour...

Apparently AOC isn't anti-Israel enough for the two crazy Pallyweid [Pally Weid] demanding she just "says" the G word. AOC has a long record of anti-Israel outbursts and activities. But she has some idea how Gaza death regime uses its own people and how the Oct 7 war started. Yet, even this radical liberal's stand isn't enough. But they shout: say the G word. Say it. __ Anti-Israel protestors accost AOC outside theater, demand she accuse Israel of (so-called) genocide[sic] despite her anti-Israel record. Gary Willig, Mar 5, 2024, 4:00 PM * Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez harassed by anti-Israel protestors. The...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at protesters who accosted her at a Brooklyn movie theater and demanded the lefty lawmaker call Israel’s military campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” new video shows. Ocasio-Cortez was with her fiancé Riley Roberts when she lost her cool and dropped an f-bomb as a couple of protesters badgered her at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema around 5 p.m. Monday. The protesters complained that Ocasio-Cortez, 34, won’t publicly call Israel’s bombing of the Palestinian territory a “genocide” as they confronted her inside the downtown Brooklyn theater, according to the footage. “I need you to understand that this is...

The contradiction may pose problems for the left-wing lawmaker, who has not disclosed her fiancé’s finances Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D., N.Y.) office says she isn’t married. But she has described her fiancé, Riley Roberts, as her "spouse" in forms filed with the House Ethics Committee in 2023, which has a strict definition of that term—"someone to whom you are legally married." That could become a problem for the left-wing darling, since willful misrepresentations on the documents are a no-no—they could subject her to criminal prosecution, the forms state—and members of Congress are required to disclose the financial information of their...

Elon Musk has revealed the reason Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would “never” date him — saying he simply “isn’t cool enough.” The cyber foes have had a myriad of heated exchanges on social media since Musk signed on the dotted line to become the owner of Twitter last year. Following the pair’s tit-for-tat antics, one Twitter user asked the Tesla CEO if all this back-and-forth could ever lead to romantic relations between them, even though she’s currently engaged. “Alas she would never date me I’m not cool enough,” Musk tweeted in response to a photoshopped image of AOC with blonde hair and...

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed the name of her new pooch — “Deco.” The renegade Bronx Democrat — who came under fire for allegedly buying a purebred male French bulldog puppy instead of rescuing a dog from a shelter — said in an Instagram posting Sunday that the name is short for the early 1900s Art Deco movement. AOC, who had asked online followers for name suggestions last week, wrote that she and boyfriend Riley Roberts ultimately chose the moniker.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was hit Thursday with an ethics complaint for listing her live-in boyfriend as a staff member and getting him an official House email address. The liberal superstar violated at least two provisions of the House Code of Official Conduct and possibly U.S. criminal law by making false statements about boyfriend Riley Roberts being a staff member, according to the complaint by the conservative Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “AOC has gotten away with utter hypocrisy for far too long. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation will do whatever it takes to expose AOC’s transgressions and hold her accountable,” said Shaun McCutcheon,...

Last Friday, my mentions died for your sins. I posted a screen grab of Riley Roberts’s House Microsoft Outlook card, including his official house.gov email address, office phone number, and his designation as “Staff”. Roberts is the boyfriend of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Congresswoman was upset. Throwing caution to the wind, she stormed into my mentions, asserting this was just a way to give Mr. Roberts access to her official calendar.
