          The story hints it, but rumor is that it has to do with her attendance at the Met Gala where seats were $35K.

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

                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."

                  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.

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