Daily Caller: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ties with a dark money group that trains progressive organizers on how to lead grassroots political campaigns across the country.
The group, Organize for Justice, is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, meaning it can raise unlimited sums of money without having to disclose the identity of its donors to the public.
Organize for Justice’s website states that it is the “sister organization” of Justice Democrats, the PAC that, according to corporate filings, Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff have held control over since December 2017.
Ocasio-Cortez has frequently decried the use of dark money in politics. During her primary campaign, she said dark money was an “enemy to democracy” and that it poses a “very real danger” of silencing grassroots candidates.
Organize for Justice was founded by former Ocasio-Cortez campaign volunteers in November, according to corporate documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Justice Democrats’ executive director, Alexandra Rojas, also serves on the board of the dark money group.
In February, the group launched Movement School, a 10-week training program tasked with “incubating cohorts of highly skilled professionals to lead grassroots political campaigns across the country,” according to its website.
The dark money group doesn’t charge its participants tuition fees, according to a frequently asked questions page on its website. It requests graduates “prioritize working for campaigns that live the values of Movement School.”
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted her support for Movement School during its launch event in the Bronx. more here
SNIP: This and the campaign finance problem provides a lot of stress for the hyperactive bubble head to deal with. Her face is starting to age.
Are you saying they’ve already replaced Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman?
MY “dark money” is OK – YOUR “dark money” is BAD.
See how that works?
In a world where each politician is entitled to its own set of facts, where science is Lysenko-ized, and “Truth” is relative – chaos reigns.
Dependent on what the meaning of “is” is?
Are we so befuddled? Are we so blind? Are we so … uhh … to ask is to answer.

She’s a throw away.
Lot’s of media focus….let her stir the pot…..makes the other demoncrats look good by contrast.
The proverbial useful idiot.
Go easy on the crazy b*tch. She needs furniture for her new
apartment.
DARK MONEY? SO WHAT! SO SHE TOOK CONTRIBUTIONS FROM COLORED FOLKS, WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM, RACISTS?
Of course she’s crook after decent people’s hard earned money – she’s a paid actress communist. That’s her role.
Why don’t conservatives (or for that matter anyone that believes in the constitution) set up something like this. Go to their website and have a look. If they are churning out trained political organizers of any decent quality conservatives are at a massive disadvantage in any election be it Federals, State or Municipal.
Has anyone ever seen Obama and AOC in the same place/time?
Wig, a little whiteface, stick-on mole and you’ve got a dead ringer…
‘Movement School’?
Well, she is full of it.
“…weaved their dark web of campaign finance…”
It’s “wove” in the context of fabric or webs, sweetie. “Weaved” is correct when referring to side-to-side motion, as in “Beto weaved drunkenly back and forth across the highway, finally striking another car.”
That’s some tips jar yang got there, sugartits.
Are they paying with dark money? (Because bitcoins don’t mine like tulips, no more.)
