But the old and young white guys and gals in the press keep putting her front and center . The fact it takes the spotlight off other perhaps more worthy legislators belongs to the press not anonymous internet posters . From our local news coverage out here in lalaland there have been three rookie members that have received 100% of coverage with AOC receiving the lions share .

You think the job of the press is to spotlight worthy legislators? I thought you were a capitalist.

The job of the press is to sell newspapers and advertising time.

"Socialism" is a word that stupid, corrupt, greedy, and desperate politicians use to maintain control.

Ocasio-Cortez Could Face Up To FIVE YEARS in Prison for Newest FEC Violation

'Mediocre cocktail slinger' Ocasio-Cortez faces THIRD election ethics complaint as pro-Trump PAC's lawyer claims her chief of staff's firm illegally did cheap political work for AOC and a dozen other Democrats

Conservative lawyer's FEC complaint says Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff engineered an illegal campaign funding scheme in 2018

She and Saikat Chakrabarti used his company, according to attorney Dan Backer, to work for her campaign and 12 others at far below-market prices
Campaign laws consider the discount to be an 'in-kind' contribution that's subject to reporting and legal limits

Backer and his organization, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, say the company intentionally ran at a loss and used PAC money to make up its shortfalls

The PACs were only allowed to give $5,000 to each campaign during the general election, but poured $867,000 into Chakrabarti's firm for its work

Ocasio-Cortez ran her campaign, sits on the board of one of the PACs and helped Chakrabarti run his company, according to the complaint

Backer actually wants campaign donation limits eliminated

Complains that 'a mediocre cocktail slinger who flunked history can run for Congress' but insists it should be possible without an illegal 'subsidy scheme'
