AOC 'fun run' is also a 'for profit run' for her campaign

Alexandria Occasionally-Coherent (Socialist-NY) may be a socialist with your money, but she's a flaming capitalist with her own. Like her rhetoric on her Green New Deal, she wants you and me to go green and socialist, but she still travels around her city in gas guzzlers and hardly takes the convenient subway or bus.

Now the Communist-Socialist-Democrat has another scam: a "fun run" whose participants didn't know they were handing over their money to her campaign, and thought the dough was going to be used for her socialist Green New Deal, perhaps to buy ammunition to be used for killing farting cows.

The Rep[rehensible] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k fun run in Queens Saturday. She billed the event as “a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day.” She forgot to mention that it benefits AOC's campaign in order to benefit the GND.

Many of the 400 runners didn’t know their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign coffers, nor were they supposed to know, it seems.

“We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,” the socialist told the participants before they set off. She never mentioned that the real reason for the run was to raise cash for the health of her campaign.

Unwitting campaign contributors whose
parents could go to prison 

Environmentally conscious supporters and others dumb enough to support her election — jogged through Astoria Park alongside the beaming "fat cat" AOC — they believed their money was going to help save the planet rather than her skinny butt in the next election in which she is expected to be "primaried."

“It’s going to help raise awareness and educate people,” a female runner told The New York Post. She obviously has the awareness of an unborn baby about to be killed by an abortion doctor.

“I think it’s really for this particular New Green Deal,” said Brian Schwartz of Long Island. “No question.” Schwartz doesn't even know the correct title of the crappy socialism-based legislation.

“It’s to help the environment. To support the Green New Deal,” another woman said. “It’s a good cause.” Except like Schwartz, she too was fooled.

A vaguely worded notices on AOC’s Facebook page — saying that the run would support “U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & the Green New Deal” — added to the confusion.

But the teeny-weany fine print on a third event-related website revealed the truth.

“Registration fees are contributions to AOC for Congress,” reads the legal disclosure on aoc5k.com, which lists the Federal Election Commission rules that donors must follow to keep it legal at least to a minimal degree. People with actual ethics would have made the purpose of the fee very clear, and really ethical people probably would not have used a fun run for their campaign donations in the first place.

“It was a campaign fundraiser,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent said confirmed.

The participating runners paid more than $11,000 all told.

Even kids as young as three became unknowing political donors — ponying up $20 fees to join a kids’ 1k.

But by fudging the fact that those fees were actually campaign contributions, AOC may have enticed constituents into inadvertently breaking federal election laws.

Parents, for example, cannot contribute their own funds in a child’s name.

While AOC raised $726,000 in the first quarter of this year, only 4 percent of the donations came from constituents in her own district.

At Saturday’s event, 198 runners came from the Bronx and from Queens neighborhoods within the 14th congressional district. The other 200 came from elsewhere.

Those contributions will improve her home-grown fundraising share.

Some participants felt tricked, and obviously they were.

“The site says it’s to benefit her environmental plan,” said one supporter who would not give his name. “If it is going to go directly to her campaign they should have said so.”

Another did not mind because that person is a card-carrying idiot who is used to being duped.
