AOC took lobbyist cash despite prior promise not to

 November 29, 2024

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, has claimed multiple times that she does NOT accept funds from lobbyists.

The Washington Examiner has recently uncovered evidence suggesting the exact opposite:

"Campaign finance records, however, show she has received nearly 100 separate donations from registered lobbyists since taking office," the outlet revealed.

Despite AOC asserting on her social media accounts that her campaign is "people-funded" and "takes no lobbyist cash," federal records prove otherwise.

Per the Examiner:

Dave Koshgarian, a lobbyist with Ernst & Young, has been Ocasio-Cortez’s most consistent donor, sending her thousands of dollars beginning in 2020. Koshgarian has represented a number of corporate clients, including Duke Energy, MetLife, General Electric, Charles Schwab, and BlackRock, according to lobbying disclosures. 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.

America clearly can't trust Ocasio-Cortez.

She is a liar, but that isn't surprising. She's a Democrat. It seems like most of them have trouble keeping the truth straight these days, even when America has the evidence.
