Here comes the economic genius demanding free stuff like your typical socialist.

I guess she feels she is entitled to her paycheck even though she has not worked 1 day in congress.

Regarding her statement yesterday; “I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.”

That is quite a statement for Boston University when a person who holds their degree in economics doesn’t have the presence of mind to execute a short term loan secured by a GUARANTEED employment contract of $348,000 for the next 24 months.

This bio from Wiki makes her media personality seem absolutely bizarre to me :

” From 2003 to 2007, Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School,[13] where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a research project on microbiology. As a result, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[14][15]

In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute’s Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[16]

In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[17][18][19] During college, she was an intern in the immigration office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.[20] She graduated cum laude from Boston University’s College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and international relations.[16][21][22]”

Ocasio-Cortez has described her background as working-class, and relates many of her political positions to it. When her father died intestate of lung cancer in 2008,[23] she became involved in a long probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn “firsthand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy.”[24]

She credits seeing the treatment of her cousin by law enforcement, as well as her Catholic faith, for her desire to overhaul mass incarceration in the criminal-justice system.[25]

Isn’t there a nice hotel with a bar near 11th and Pennsylvania that used to be a Post Office? Might they need a bartender?

Didn’t I just see a picture of her wearing a $5,000 outfit?

“I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress, so how do I get an apartment?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Those little things are very real.”

Do what every other demonRAT does, sell your vote 'on the come', give blow jobs for cash, sleep with 'senior members of the black caucus' and stay at their DC pads.

Give up some of that 'free stuff' that you are always touting.

Ocasio-Cortez Complains About Not Getting Congressional Paycheck Yet: ‘How Do I Get An Apartment?’

Until your Sugar Daddy Soros sends you more cash, you'll have to handle things like all other grown ups do - figure something out.

I don’t know what went down but she defeated a long timer with a lot of backing....

********
Ocasio-Cortez was the first person since 2004 to challenge the Democratic Caucus Chair, Joe Crowley, in the Democratic primary. She faced a significant financial disadvantage, but said, “You can’t really beat big money with more money. You have to beat them with a totally different game.” Nearly 75% of her donations were small individual contributions, while less than one percent of Crowley’s contributions were.[24] The Ocasio-Cortez campaign spent $194,000 to the Crowley campaign’s $3.4 million.[37]....

Governor Cuomo endorsed Crowley, as did both of New York’s U.S. Senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, as well as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, 11 U.S. Representatives, 31 local elected officials, 31 trade unions, and progressive groups such as the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, the Working Families Party, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, among others.[48] California representative Ro Khanna, like Ocasio-Cortez a Justice Democrat,[49] initially endorsed Crowley, later also endorsing Ocasio-Cortez in an unusual dual endorsement.[50]

Hey, like she says on healthcare, “just pay for it.” Typical millennial airhead who buys thousand dollar outfits but can’t afford rent. Us working stiffs understand priorities and budget.

Well duh. You just pay for it. You don’t need money to pay for things. You told us that yourself.

She is proving every day that her economics degree was due to affirmative action. The only seat she will be appointed to is the most stupid person in Congress.

Buy a good but used RV Van sized and dark color. live in walmarts, churches and 24 hour restaurants, The loan will be easy once the find out your an elected Congressman. When you take office, keep the RV and use it on your back and forth trips to New York.

What’s this? You didn’t know you have to go back to New York. Well of course you do, you need to go back to your district of your constituents and find things to do for them.

This is the usual problem with Libs: They have ll kindsof plans, but no thought has been given to implementing that plan.

Did she think that she was entitled to free rent?
