AOC Concealed Thousands In Campaign Spending, Ethics Complaint Alleges
Daily Caller ^ | 4/17/23 | Jennifer Taer

Posted on 04/17/2023 5:21:16 PM PDT by CFW

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez concealed thousands of dollars in campaign spending, an ethics complaint exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation alleges.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint cites more than $9,600 in reported campaign credit card expenditures that lacked information on the purpose of the charges. Dan Backer filed the complaint on behalf of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a nonprofit organization that’s levied similar complaints.

“This Complaint arises from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s repeated, blatant violations of federal campaign finance law to conceal how she spent thousands of dollars of campaign funds. On numerous occasions throughout 2022, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s authorized candidate committee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress (‘AOC for Congress’), reported tens of thousands of dollars of disbursements for card payments and card payment reimbursements to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez herself; American Express; and an entity called ‘Veyond!,’ which appears to have provided virtual reality services and apparently no longer operates under that name,” the complaint states.

It didn't take long for AOC to get comfortable with the corruption. Her campaign finances have always been a bit questionable. Watch her yell "misogyny" when questioned about the complaint. That's pretty much a given.

why would a candidate conceal campaign spending?

I get concealing fund raising expecially if it’s from an illegal source.

The Congressional tip jar is far bigger than one at a mere bar. But if she digs her hand in to deep she might lose it at the wrist to those with seniority of dipping into the jar first.

AOC and Nancy both would be screaming “cruel and unusual punishment”.

$9,600.

Sounds like 9,600 felonies to me. Those are the new rules.

She just took the $ out of the tip jar, like she always does.
