Democrat moved huge sum of money through PACs

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., or AOC as she's more widely known, has a history of wild statements and actions.

Recently she claimed the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women was connected to the proliferation of fossil fuel extraction cities.

She also fled her New York District during COVID for sunny Florida.

And she announced that, following the science, Latinos are black.

She accused Christians of "weaponizing" the Bible to support "bigotry."

She said, during a hearing, "It's very difficult to sit here and listen to arguments in the long history of this country of using Scripture and weaponizing and using Scripture to justify bigotry. White supremacists have done it. Those who justify slavery have done it. Those who fought against integration did it."

But now she's apparently forgotten to document campaign expenses – a million dollars or so.

The Washington Examiner reported her campaign and a former staff member "were found to have failed to report roughly $1 million in expenses."

The report said the Federal Election Commission documented, after a two-year investigation into claims her former chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, put $1 million through some political action committees, that is what happened.

The PACs are identified as Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats.

However, the FEC still dismissed a complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center in March 2019.

"The FEC has gone after a whole host of people whose violations are dwarfed by the scale of this scheme," Paul Kamenar, the attorney for the NLPC, said in a prepared statement. "It appears to be not prosecutorial discretion, but prosecutorial favoritism."

The original complaint outlined how Chakrabarti pushed the cash through the PACs into two other groups, a potential violation of a $5,000 limit for donations to federal candidates.

The FEC concluded the PACs failed to disclose properly the disbursements, the report said.

Among other positions adopted by AOC has been that billionaires should not exist, but she wanted $94 trillion spent on green projects. She compared childbirth to dig breeding and wanted prisons abolished but as of 2019 will had an outstanding, and overdue, tax bill to pay.

She claims the Electoral College is racist, but she says her congressional salary should be raised because she wants more money.

WND reported in 2019 that investigative reporter Sara Carter has posted online a video of socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., getting corrected on policy, practice and the law by an FBI agent.

Over and over.

Nothing like non-white liberal privilege to save you from your own excesses.
