Ocasio-Cortez needs to wait for lawmaker salary to kick in to afford DC apartment

The NY Times engaging in their usual myth-building. The struggling noble hispanic gal coming to take on the big and powerful.

The Clintons and Obamas have hundreds of millions of dollars - they could float her a few bucks if she really needed it. Hell, she can borrow from Beto the Billionaire, since he doesn't have to shell out for a DC apartment of his own.

[Constitution Day]

I suggest she take her own advice:

"You just pay for it."

Her exact words on Medicare For All.

OC has no income at this time.
She likely has little/no savings (young unemployed NYC bartender).
She has no meaningful liquid assets.
She spends other people’s money freely.

Not a good loan risk.

can't afford DC apartment
She's a friggin' pinko-commie socialist ... why doesn't she force someone else to pay for it?

[snoringbear]

“The party will make you a no-interest loan for a few months, Ms. Commie.”

Soros......

I’m so embarrassed for ALL Democrats this year! There is a video of her talking about how she’s going to be INAUGURATED on January 3rd or 4th and then she will get to signs laws. This woman’s win tells you exactly the intellect of the collective Democrat Party. The ONE thing they do well is steal elections. I guess NONE of them have a Conscience. Period.

[Califreak]

I hear that actually pays millions more...

[marktwain]

IMHO she is lying. This is virtue signaling.

How do you suppose she afforded those multi-thousand dollar outfits?

Democrat donors will be glad to donate to her or allow her to stay rent-free in one of their digs.

[Ancesthntr]

"Has she ever heard of a bank loan?"

No $hit! You think that maybe she could qualify for a $10,000 - $15,000 loan with a salary of $175,000, guaranteed for the next 2 years (and probably longer, as her constituents are even more stupid than she is)?

Oh, I know! Get it from the folks in Antenna:

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

OMG she was a bartender you can’t make this stuff up!!! A bartender in charge of creating legislation OMG!!!

[Califreak]

They’ll have to stop at two in the morning

[LydiaLong]

She can get a night job waiting tables.

[marktwain]

She is now officially on of the elite.

She has a lifetime of luxury and perks ahead of her, unknown to 99.99% of the population.

All she has to do to keep it is to get a good leftist office manager (many of them available in D.C.) and follow their advice.

Will she be able to perform the relatively simple task, as there will be many of her ideological ilk to help her?

I am not sure.

She seems amazingly ignorant and naive for her age.

[jazusamo]

She can surely find lots of socialists in DC that would gladly let her move in with them rent free, isn’t that what socialism is all about.

[originalbuckeye]

Yes, but that’s fake. The video was really her speaking........

[pax_et_bonum]

I didn’t know that she was a bartender. Thought she was a waitress. My bad.

However, I do remember that she stole tips.

Maybe that’s good practice for going into politics!

Oh my! How soon until someone starts a GoFundMe for a US Congresswomans housing needs?

[LeoTDB69]

Oh yeh and why worry about how to pay for a DC apartment. Take your own advice you gave on universal medicare and JUST PAY FOR IT.

[RightGeek]

planned accordingly with her partner

Is it a he, a she, or an it?
