Ocasio-Cortez defends decision not to pay dues to House Democratic campaign arm
By Max Greenwood - 01/10/20 12:23 PM EST

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday defended her decision not to pay dues to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), saying she would instead seek to funnel money directly to Democrats in tough races.

Asked by The Hill if she intended to pay dues to the House Democratic campaign arm this cycle, Ocasio-Cortez replied, "I don't think so."

Ocasio-Cortez, whose unexpected win in a 2018 primary against longtime incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) propelled her to political stardom in progressive circles, has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s most prolific fundraisers in the House.

Trying to form a third party (socialist) perhaps? The Squad Party?

Was just about to post this too.

AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues' opponents

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already topped the fundraising charts in her short time in Congress, but the liberal darling won’t donate a cent of her millions to Democrats' House campaign organization -- a position that has rankled some of her colleagues, Fox News has learned.

Instead, Ocasio-Cortez is building her own fundraising operation for fellow progressive candidates to bypass the official Democratic Party infrastructure. Already, she's actively funding primary challengers to oust certain Democratic colleagues.

The Jackass Party can go ahead and get pissed at her.  What do they expect?  She doesn't fear them, she toppled a leadership guy to get the Rat nomination.

“DEADBEAT CORTEZ” Losing Support Fast As Democrats Turn on Her Over Money Issue [VIDEO]
Editor
January 15, 2020

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been working diligently to tick off everyone in Congress, even her fellow Democrats. In the past she’s attacked Nancy Pelosi on more than one occasion, and now she’s creating another division in the party. However, she may pay dearly for this one.

AOC is part of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee which, if I’m not mistaken, all Democrats in the House are one, and she has refused to pay her dues which amountto $250,000. That’s quite an expensive club to be a part of.

According to Fox News, their gripe is that Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t given any money to the DCCC, the party arm with the sole job of electing Democrats to the House. Records obtained by Fox News show the New York Democrat has failed to pay any of her $250,000 in “dues” to the DCCC.

No wonder democrats are such crooks, most of their income goes to "dues." :headbang:
