Netflix reportedly paid a record sum to obtain the rights to a documentary about the election campaign of Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“Knock Down the House,” which followed the 2018 midterm primary elections of four Democratic women, three of whom lost their bids, rose from its initial Kickstarter funding to the Festival Favorite Award at Utah’s Sundance Film Festival.

Netflix announced its decision to purchase rights to the film on Thursday. The streaming service reportedly paid $10 million, the most ever for a Sundance Film Festival documentary.

It’s a payoff to somebody.

Who invented AOC remains to be seen, but all woke capital will be paying him/her tribute very soon.

Will fall flat like a deflated balloon. Netflix must love flushing money.

Netflix has no intent of making money on this, just as whoever is paying her advance on her "book" doesn't expect to sell a lot of copies.

These are straight-up payoffs to whoever is behind the AOC phenomenon.

Yes, Mr. Soros. Things look pretty good. Thanks for asking.

She just got a book deal for millions

I thought House members weren't allowed to take book advances since the Gingrich fandango years ago. That was a bogus issue intended solely to Get Newt, but the House did change its rules in the face of a media firestorm. Have they removed the ban since?

That will be a great question for her to answer on the spot.

“You recently complained about Amazon receiving tax breaks from NYC yet you stand to profit from the sale of a movie about your life to a company that didn’t pay tax on nearly 1/2 a billion dollars in profit. How do you live with yourself?”.

(’well, I don’t live with myself, I have a cat and a Beta fish’...)

She has been in Congress for little more than a month and she has a book deal and a movie deal? Reminds me of obamer Nobel Peace Prize nomination ELEVEN DAYS after taking office...

So much for being a poor kid from the Broncs...

Is it a comedy or a tragedy?

AOC has been in DC long enough to justify a bribe.

Weren’t both Obamas given cushy busywork “jobs” at Netflix when Obunga left office. I suspect they had a big hand in getting this project on the agenda. They’re probably counting on AOC to continue their crusade of destroying the US of A, and swerving it into a communist s**thole very much like Venezuela.

“Netflix appointed Susan Rice, former U.S. national security adviser and ambassador to the United Nations during the Obama administration, to its board of directors.”

Yep, God forbid we ever get a media that puts a Rat on the spot. It amazes me the hypocrisy we get from them day in day out and the media constantly gives them a pass.

You want her gone, just convince Hillary that Carsio-Cortez has some dirt on the Clinton Foundation and stand back.
