AOC reportedly raking in the dough, building a massive political team and ‘money machine’
June 21, 2020 | Robert Jonathan
First-term Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is spending a lot of money but also raking in a lot of money for her political war chest and to fund a political “army.â€
The far-left New York City Democrat with a national following, in part based on a social media presence, is “building a massive political team and an even bigger money machine,†The Hill reported.
As part of the political ambitions of the aggressive Trump foe, which includes moving her party even farther to the left (if that’s possible), she reportedly spent $6.3 million through June 3, which includes $3.2 million on Facebook ads since May 2018, evidently more than any other candidate.
This spending spree is occurring as AOC attempts to fend off a primary challenge from former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who reportedly has raised $2 million from business interests.
AOC has also raised $10.5 million in small donations for her second-term bid. The AOC campaign reportedly has spent $1.2 million on Facebook ads just in this cycle.

One of her opponents tweets:Michelle Caruso-Cabrera @MCaruso_Cabrera
.@AOC directly violated the election law. She doesn’t pay her taxes. She said yes to a salary increase.
The Bronx and Queens have suffered enough. I will deliver results.
Early voting starts now and ends June 21st.

The Swanick Rule (after Charles Swanick, a county legislator who regularly used this tactic to keep his seat in office): New York allows politicians to run on multiple ballot lines, so if Ms. Cortez loses the Democratic primary, she can still run on a third party line (in her case, most likely the "Working Families Party" line).

It's really not alot of money. That might cover all the races for US House and Senate in a smaller state like Iowa, and maybe a bit left over to play a bit in say, Nebraska or South Dakota.

What she doesn't use this year will be socked away for her campaign to unseat Chuck the Schmuck Schumer in 2022...

Right. Anyone recall all those small prepaid credit card donations that went to PACs supporting Obama? How much of this is just laundered money from the Soros coalition of uber rich who believe we're going to let them live to be our overlords?
