(DC Pundit) – Well, well, well, looks like Miss “I’m-too-good-for-lobbyist-money” has been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the firebrand congresswoman from New York, has been talking out of both sides of her mouth, and now she’s busted.
The Washington Examiner did some good old-fashioned digging and what do you know? They found that AOC’s been cozying up to lobbyist cash faster than a pig to slop. This is the same gal who trumpeting from the rooftops that she’d never, ever take a dime from those evil lobbyists.
According to the Examiner’s report, a fella named Dave Koshgarian has been stuffing AOC’s campaign coffers since 2020. This guy’s not just any old donor – he’s a big cheese lobbyist with Ernst & Young. And get this, he’s got his fingerprints just about everywhere. We’re talking Duke Energy, MetLife, General Electric, Charles Schwab, and BlackRock, to name a few.
The report states: “Other clients represented by Ocasio-Cortez’s lobbyist donors include, among others, Nike, Delta Air Lines, healthcare trade associations, and the New Venture Fund, one arm of a massive Democratic-aligned dark money network managed by the Arabella Advisors consulting firm.” It’s like a who’s who of corporate America!
Now, isn’t that rich? AOC’s been strutting around like a peacock, crowing about how she’s above all that dirty lobbyist money. Turns out, she’s been playing us all for fools.
