As expected, the F-Troop of Trump apologists is making its appearance.
Yeah...like the LOBBYIST-FUNDED, House Dems LUXURY PUERTO RICAN JAUNT during the government shutdown....mainly the HOUSE HISPANIC CAUCUS....oh wait...ISN'T OCASIO-CORTEZ a member of that CAUCUS?
WHY YES, SHE IS!!!
Yeah...she most certainly is PROVING how easily "government can be corrupted"....isn't she?
‘We have a system that is fundamentally broken.’ — Rep. @AOC is explaining just how f*cked campaign finance laws really are
Every American should watch this 5 minute NowThis video vignette by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. (adjust the volume upward if necessary)
This lady didn't know where she was going to live or how she was going to pay for it when she moved to DC. Now, she can afford very nice clothes.
Makes a person wonder exactly WHERE she has gotten her money so suddenly. Perhaps from some well-heeled donors?

That why folks want to see Trumps tax returns which you oppose.
Do as I say, not as I do.
I think it remains to be seen to what extent AOC be within or without the reach of lobbyists; however, lobbyists and their "reach" haven't a thing to do with the content of the video to which the OP refers. Did you even watch it?Who needs this to be demonstrated? We all know this. Anyone thinks AOC is somehow above the reach of lobbyists?
HA!

And ironically, all of them will agree with AOC that it is terrible for dems to take corporate pac money
But is OK when repubs do it
I beg to differ. She seems squeaky clean and that's great. It's her ideology and the fact that she lives in front of the camera, proposing taking out centrist Dems and ridiculous socialist policies that makes the Right hate her.I think it remains to be seen to what extent AOC be within or without the reach of lobbyists; however, lobbyists and their "reach" haven't a thing to do with the content of the video to which the OP refers.

One can certainly see who were her top campaign contributors.
- AOC top contributors
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received 62 percent of her funding from small-dollar donors. The average House member received less than 8 percent.
- July 2018 (primary race) -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boosted by out-of-state donors after primary win
I suspect much of the reason for the attention focused on her, particularly by "the right," is dearth of extant traditional political "dirt" in her background. I mean, really, what is there is there to find in the background of a "regular" person whose prior experiences entail high school, earning a degree in economics, bartending and waiting tables? The occasional over-pour? Slow service?

The Right hates her because she's a female, a minority and a Democrat. The Conservative media was attacking her before she was even sworn in and they knew what any of her 'positions' were.
The right hates her because they fear her, and they have many good reasons to fear her.
She represents everything that will doom the gop, as it currently exists
True... But there's some of what I said too. They started attacking her even before she was sworn in. I live in NY and I never even heard of the woman until I got on the net and on here and read articles about how Fox, and Limbaugh and the rest were attacking her daily and AOC wasn't even in Congress yet.. I mean a 'dance video'??? lol
She's the Con Media's new bogeyman, she's a Dem, a minority and a woman. Lots and lots of red meat there for the GOP base.
My point is that there is much more to her than that.
Indeed. A degree in Economics, an extrovert personality, and her newly co-authored Green New Deal bill is sophisticated.
