    Forbes: "In September 2021, a conservative watchdog filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics after Ocasio-Cortez attended the Met Gala, suggesting that her ticket may have be an impermissible gift. A spokesperson for the congresswoman did not respond to an email asking if the investigation involved Ocasio-Cortez’s appearance at the gala."

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Leaving open the question of which offense was worse, accepting the ticket as a gift or that godawful fugly gown she wore.

      But seriously, if she's guilty I hope they hang her high. Figuratively speaking, of course.

        My thoughts exactly.

        Although I'm sure she is not popular with party leadership. It still may be almost undoubtedly is political.

          The last thing the Democrats need is for her to become their Trump.

              I don't think her national branding rises to that level.

                                    Really disappointing. I'm going to think twice before supporting AOC going forward.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      Depends on the type of support.

                                      Lift and separate? I’m in. Contribute and vote? Nope.

                                          AOC is hawt. That's probably it.
