This is how they always do it.

Someone who wants something from a politician donates to a charity.

The charity (maybe through another foundation) moves that money to a family member of the politician as a salary or donation to their foundation.

The family member loans money or gives money to the politician.

Meanwhile you have enough seperation from Bribe-er to Bribe-ee that it's totally legit.

She said she was worth like 200k recently. She’s been earning a 175k for a while and I’m pretty sure they get a good bit of a budget to help out with their living expenses. If that’s the case, I’d say financially illiterate is a pretty good guess.

I never trade stocks!!!

I just invest in real estate based on speculation and, uh, actual knowledge of future events.

I love seeing shite where politicians lobby to get roads built in specific places, then you find out they own the land the new stadium sits on. And so on....

Corrupt money is corrupt money. Doesn't matter if it's from the stock market or from foreign interests.

I have no doubt that she is a “true believer”


But so was Karl Marx. You can be a clean/non-corrupt politician and still believe in poor economic theory.

How did she go from complaining about her pay and not being able to afford to live in Washington, to being rich in just a few short years?

That just make her dumber than expected. I certainly will never believe that AOC doesn't invest in stocks because of her moral code. And it's most likely a lie, anyway.

AOC is every bit as crooked as the other 434.

Sure, she may not engage in insider trading like Nancy, but she goes to the $35,000 a plate Met Gala on comped tickets in a $20,000 designer dress that was donated to her campaign. She is grifting handsomely.

There are many more ways to buy influence from a member of Congress than stocks.

Check her net worth and see if it matches what a House Representative salary would get her.
