Ocasio-Cortez hit with yet another ethics complaint
New ethics complaint

The "New York Democratic lawmaker used her newly found congressional privileges in an unethical manner when she set up the House email address for Roberts.

“This Complaint alleges Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez improperly converted U.S. House resources to her non-official, personal use by obtaining an official ‘@mail.house.gov’ e-mail address for her boyfriend, despite the fact he was not employed by her congressional office,” reads a line from the complaint obtained by Fox News.

“Moreover, it appears she obtained the e-mail address for him by falsely designating him a ‘staff’ member.”

Attorneys for the foundation allege that Ocasio-Cortez violated restrictions on personal use of House services and equipment—as outlined in the House Ethics Manual. They maintain that the provision of an official House-based email address for Roberts is a violation of rules that prevent outside individuals from having an official account."

Funny how those who complain the loudest about the "rich & powerful" and want to spread misery equally are the FIRST to exploit the system at their earliest convenience.....

Given her lack of ability to read and understand a lot of things - like how tax incentives work for example - is it any surprise that she did not correctly apply the rules that are in this manual either?
