Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

    Anyway, cool for AOC to be honest, but unfortunately her views (specifically support of MMT) are a certain way to nuke the economy of the USA.

    I didn’t realize it was that part of the circus where conservative centrists clowns do a bit for us to laugh at them for.

      Neither did I, turns out that yes and you are the clown. Why - because you’ve used a long comment for the sole purpose of “friend-or-foe” determination. I dunno how to call people doing that. If all this was incomprehensible for you - I’m not a conservative.

        Im not the clown wasting their breath attacking one of the only politicians who is actually resisting the fascist takeover and destruction of the US government literally happening as you rant emptily about “inveitable” eventualities of AOC’s policies.

        You could not pick a better moment to demonstrate how fundamentally unserious your politics are in this context.

        Wake the fuck up and realize who your actual enemies are, you dangerous fool.

          It feels like all the people here criticizing her for fantastical or illogical reasons (usually a mixture of both) are just envious of her.

            They would all also get hilariously demolished by her on a debate about policy and political strategy.

            …which honestly it never gets old for me watching progressive leaders like her dress down people like this to their face.
