Wait - If Ocasio-Cortez can't afford D.C. rent, how did she get around during the campaign then?

It appears that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is unable to afford the astronomical rent for a D.C. apartment until she gets her first Congressional paycheck.

But who paid for her to campaign and criss-cross the country?

AOC barely campaigned within her own district. I doubt that she received thousands of dollars in small donations, given that she won her primary when three-fourths of the district didn't even come out to vote.

She was a mini-Queen maker, endorsing candidates in Hawaii, for example. And Hawaii is not cheap.

The plane tickets, the hotels, the clothes she wears, food....all this stuff isn't cheap folks. It adds up. Running a campaign is very expensive.

So she could afford to travel and campaign for others during the mid-terms, and now all of a sudden she's dead broke like the Clintons were after 2000?

My take on this is that this is just another leftist narrative being parroted, so she can pretend to be struggling (In the 'hood, they called it "Keeping it real.")

She's being fed and sheltered as I am typing now. I don't buy this for a second.

Rich libs are going to give her a bunch of money but they need to figure out how to do it “legally”.

When has legality ever been an issue with liberals?

The same way she would provide for universal health care. “Just pay for it.”

The standard mechanism of laundering bribes to Democrat elected officials these days is through a multi-million dollar book deal.

She’ll conveniently forget to report all that free stuff she got in her financial disclosure forms.

Goes without saying. "I didn't know." "The forms are obscure and too complicated."

But, let a Republican forget to pay a dinner tab...

Campaigns pay for travel expenses. So either her campaign or the campaigns of those she campaigned for paid her travel expenses.
