A conservative group is asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to launch an investigation of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for accepting free tickets to Monday’s Met Gala, where she wore a custom gown that said “Tax the Rich.”The self-declared socialist congresswoman drew broad social media scorn for partying at the elite, $35,000-per-ticket event while presenting herself as their rabble-rousing foe.Thomas Jones, founder of the American Accountability Foundation, wrote in an ethics complaint that he believes Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens,

You can rest assured that she will get IRS 1099 forms and claim the gifts as taxable income, right.

cortez said that dress was " borrowed ". Really? It was made to measure for her. She's lying, as usual. Or stupid which is a given.

She is a Democrat. The Congressional Ethics committee will reward her with an additional $35,000

Back in the day, taking a $30K gift like that was known as a "bribe." I hope if the Met had a donations jar, they kept a guard on it because if AOC had a pocket in that dress, it'd be full of tens and twenties.
If the tip-stealing barmaid was a Republican, she'd soon be a long-term guest of a fine federal correctional instutions, with an all-expenses paid room and board for a couple years. But since she's a Democrat, it's okay.
She and her fellow squad members remind me of that old Eddie Murphy movie, "The Distinguished Gentleman," where a con-man (Eddie) gets elected to Congress on a fluke and realizes that even he is a babe in the woods among those thieves.

Who would make a Dress like that so AOC can "BORROW" IT? nobody! She bought that dress, probably with Campaign funds. As for the $35,000 Ticket for the Gala, Ask the poor folks in Queens and The Bronx if THEY think it's a good idea to spend Campaign money just so AOC could hob nob with the Rich and Famous! Maybe the folks back home would like AOC to remember THEM and why they sent her to Congress to HELP THEM! All AOC wants is to become one of the Rich! She will get there by hook or crook! She doesn't care what it looks like. It's all about HER!

I doubt if AOC paid for the ticket. Most likely it was given to her by Anna Wintour. If AOC really cared about her constituents she would have declined the ticket and asked Wintour to donate $30,000 to a local food bank.

I think she has been accused of misusing campaign funds in the past but nothing ever happens to her. Same as Omar.

Somewhere she will have to declare who bought the ticket, or the source of the funds used to buy the ticket. I have little doubt the dress was lent her. It's good pub for the designer and shop among the elite. Hey, even conservatives are talking about it. #4 is right, she's just another thief among professional UNIPARTY thieves.

We already knew what she is; now we know her price. Re: the dress? She borrowed it from the same store that supplies Al Sharpton's suits. Case closed.

AOC will soon claim that people have a problem with her attending the Met gala because of her Hispanic heritage. They are Racist! They don't like it because of racism.

How about the room and board she is providing for her live-in boyfriend? I'm sure he doesn't eat hot dogs while she chows down on lobster.

Absolutely nothing would happen to her. She is a democrat. A communist democrat. No laws apply to them. They think and act like they are above the law.
