That would require the stewardship of other honest beltway insiders. As far as I can tell there are none of those.

Yep.

The corruption at the top is frankly astounding. And neither team seems to want to do much about it. And God knows, the bureaucrats don't.

She's for the little guy !!!

As much as I can't stand this woman...Im calling Fabrics on this. She is probably benefiting from her position like the rest of her gang members but this does not sound possible on less than 150k salary. Id like to see some real proof of this accusation.

Quote:There is no evidence that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a net worth of $29 million, despite online claims that that figure was released by Forbes magazine. Forbes has denied releasing the $29 million figure and no other reliable source for the claim has been cited.

Ocasio-Cortez’s most recent financial disclosure, filed in 2021, shows she had between $3,003 and $45,000 in assets, including her 401k pension plan, and owed at least $15,000 in student debts.

Posts on social media and articles have claimed that Ocasio-Cortez has a net worth of $29 million (here), (here), (here), (here), (here), (here), (here), (here), (here), often including a list of supposed assets. Most of these cite as their source an article (here) on CAknowledge.com, a website that previously made unsubstantiated claims - debunked by Reuters - about the income of Jen Psaki (here).

The CAknowledge article, entitled “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Net Worth 2022 (Forbes) AOC Assets Salary Cars House,” does not state its source of information, other than the reference to Forbes in the title.

While Forbes regularly releases the estimated net worth of high-profile individuals, there is no online record of it doing so for Ocasio-Cortez (shorturl.at/amsY4), (here).

“Forbes has not reported, nor can we confirm the net worth of Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez at this time,” Jocelyn Swift, director of corporate communications at Forbes told Reuters by email.
