DC: Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez botched the facts Monday night in a series of tweets attempting to discredit ethics complaints that watchdog groups that have filed against her.
Ocasio-Cortez has already racked up three ethics complaints since taking office in January: two for allegedly misusing congressional resources, and one alleging her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, set up a million-dollar private slush fund.
Ocasio-Cortez has also faced legal scrutiny over her and Chakrabarti’s control of an outside super PAC, Justice Democrats that was a driving force behind her congressional campaign — an arrangement former FEC commissioners say may have violated federal election laws.
The freshman congresswoman on Monday falsely claimed that Right to Rise, a Republican super PAC hit with an FEC fine on Monday, was behind the ethics complaints.
“Whoah: the creepy org filing bogus ethics complaints against me just *actually* got hit with one of the biggest fines in FEC history,” Ocasio-Cortez falsely asserted.
Right to Rise, is that some sort of #metoo thing?
AOC may need to start using a flow chart to help her keep her thoughts in order. Things can become overwhelming at times with and or items and spin loops that snarl things.
“Anyone hear from JEB! lately?”
Nah, too low energy or making Guac. Take your pick.
Don’t BRAIN FARTS harm the ozone, too, AOC?
Wait til she finds out about Hans von Spakovsky’s complaint with the FEC. I predict she’ll call the Heritage Foundation a white supremacist organization.
Right To Rise, isn’t that part of the testicular bill of rights?
@Perry:
I don’t think that’ll help. Flow charts are dependent on repeatable deterministic relationships between cause and effect. I suggest that what happens inside La Loca’s head is more akin to a quantum vacuum: Thoughts and anti-thoughts appear spontaneously and then most commonly immediately annihilate each other, but when they don’t, they wander off in random stupid directions.
There was a suggestion that she doesn’t write her own tweets. As dumb as these are, it seems to be evidence that she does.
