AOC Caught Twirling Taxpayer Dollars Away on Dance Lessons: Ethics Complaint Claims

AOC: the woman every American male wants to date

In a shocking turn of events that has left the nation clutching its pearls, Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (D-NY) has been slapped with an ethics complaint faster than you can say "cha-cha-cha." The government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust is demanding the House investigate whether AOC dipped into her taxpayer-funded Member Representational Allowance (MRA) to fund what they’re calling “troubling expenses”—namely, a $3,700 payment to a mysterious “Juan D. Gonzalez” and an $850 check to “Bombazo Dance Co. Inc.,” both listed as “training.”

According to the Congressional Research Service, the MRA is supposed to cover official duties, not personal salsa lessons or campaign cha-ching. But the “Squad” superstar allegedly waltzed right past those rules, prompting the nonprofit to cry foul in a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics on Tuesday. “This is in contravention of federal law and the dignity of the House,” the filing huffed, probably while adjusting its monocle.

AOC, never one to miss a beat, twirled onto X to defend herself. “100% wrong,” she tweeted, dismissing claims she’s wasting taxpayer cash. “None of this is taxpayer money, this is an FEC filing. Be loud and wrong somewhere else, haters.” Unfortunately for her, the filing shot back with a mic drop: “Either she doesn’t know campaign funds from her MRA, or she’s just hoping we don’t notice she’s been tangoing with the truth.”

Caitlin Sutherland, head honcho at Americans for Public Trust, didn’t mince words in a statement to Fox News Digital: “In an era of tightening the government’s belt, AOC’s using taxpayer money for dance classes is a pirouette too far. The American people deserve lawmakers who don’t treat their tax dollars like a dance floor.”

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee. Thank you.

This isn’t AOC’s first spin through the ethics wringer. In 2023, the Heritage Foundation accused her of “defaming” the Libs of TikTok creator, and she faced heat for allegedly accepting fancy Met Gala gifts in 2021—proving once again that when it comes to controversy, AOC’s got all the moves. Whether this latest complaint will have her tap-dancing out of Congress remains to be seen.

AOC has no idea what dangers TikTok poses to US

Largemouth Lass

If Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (Socialist-NY) had any idea of the threats that the Chinese Communist Party's company TikTok poses on the American people, she probably wouldn't be shilling for them, but maybe she would, come to think of it.

The House of Representatives recently held a series of congressional hearings regarding TikTik and the company's control by communist China. Even the engineers in China had to admit that the company does indeed have access to personal information of many millions of Americans, and thus, so does the Chinese government, which would use that information for their goals, and those conflict with ours.

When asked about the horrendous security issue, TikTok's CEO claimed that criticism of his company and the Chinese government is xenophobia and even when pressed, he refused to comment on the Uyghur genocide.

Another group supporting the invented right that China has the right to have our information is the Democrat Party, at least some of their members. Rep. Comatose, for example, put out her "first" TikTok and heaped praise on the communist company's spy operation.

While Wu obviously supports AOC, it isn't known if she has slept with Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) as of now.

Granted, some Democrats actually see the problems that allowing TikTok to operate under the cloak of communist China can cause. Having our information is like having influence over us as the company learns more about us, item by item.

But is AOC merely defending and lauding them out of ignorance, of which she has more than her fair share, or is it because TikTok's parent company, Bytedance, gave the Hispanic Congressional Caucus Foundation $150,000 this past December, and AOC sits on the advisory board? Hmm.

Another Democrat Rep. Jamal Bowman (D-NY) also supports the communists and has decided to be vocal about it. Can it be that he supports China spying on us because Bytedance has supported the Congressional Black Caucus, which Bowman also sits on its board. And there are additional Democrats who sit on the boards of these two foundations who have been greased by Bytedance.

Money talks, patriotism walks. Is that the way it's going to be? 

Leftists like Comatose and Bowman don't mind selling Americans' personal information to China as long as the wheels of their foundations are greased with donations. They could care less about the average person, even while AOC pretends to care about the little guy while she profits and goes to Met Galas and create a corruption scandal in her "Tax the Rich" dress.

"Let them eat crickets."

Investigate everyone who supports TikTok spying on us.

AOC refuses to accept responsibility re: Met Gala and ethics probe in which she "forgot" to pay the bill

AOC can't even pick her nose right

Socialists are a strange lot. Those in power want to tax you until you're broke while they don't want to pay for things themselves. It's how Sen. Bernie Sanders has operated ever since honeymooning in Russia, and how Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Communist (Commie-NY) has followed in his footsteps.

AOC is not even taking responsibility for not paying expenses at the 2021 Met Gala where she wore her infamous "Tax the Rich" gown, and instead is blaming her aides for the "oversight." [H/T Fox News]

The feisty Latina congress-commie is now under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, after discovering the Tax the Rich socialist had likely not paid anything for the elaborate goods and services, including the two $35,000 per guest event tickets, dress and accessories she was gifted, in spite of the congressional ethics rules allowing for only $7,000 in gifts from donors.

This is a socialist who attacks successful people who made their wealth honestly, and like her Party colleague, Bernie Sanders, who charged $95 for a ticket to his speaking event and wrote a crappy book titled "It's OK to Hate Capitalism," she is a blatant hypocrite. 

"This is just another example of the pot calling the kettle black," Scherie Murray said of the self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist on "Fox & Friends" Monday.

Murray, a New York City business owner, previously ran against Ocasio-Cortez for Congress, but dropped out during the 2020 GOP primary.

"[AOC] just has a memory failure when it comes to the fact that this wasn't a charity event. She's not allowed to receive these tickets," Murray told host Brian Kilmeade. "Courtesy of Anna Wintour, her and her fiance attended the Met Gala. She got her hair done. She got a complete wardrobe, including shoes. She got her makeup done and conveniently forgot to pay the bill."

Ocasio-Cortez did a "Sergeant Schultz" and claimed to be know nothing and see nothing regarding the unpaid expenses, saying she wasn’t "privy to the invoices." The staff member, who reportedly no longer works for her, was blamed.

"I think the delay there for me was I didn't have access to her personal credit card at that moment," the staffer told House ethics investigators.

But Murray said the excuse won’t hold up due to the contradictions in the stories.

"First, the staff was tasked to pay. Then the staffer said that he'd never had her credit card. So there is some controversy here, and I'm happy to see that she's being held accountable," Murray said.

Murray also went after AOC for her socialist agenda that ultimately led Amazon to pull out of its plan to build headquarters in New York City in 2019.

"She's known throughout the community as ‘Job Killing AOC.,’" Murray said. "She was uninformed then. She's uninformed now."

Alfredo Ortiz, president and CEO of Job Creators Network, also called the Latina socialist a "job killer." The organization has since paid for billboards slamming her for the jobs and wages lost due to Amazon’s pullout.

Those thousands of jobs she killed were high-paying and good for the city's economy, but it seems that AOC only likes big corporations when they give her freebies.

It runs in the Party.

Alexandria Obviously-Commie faces ethics investigation

AOC loves her some AOC

AOC loves her some AOC but things may have changed for the Capitol Hill darling of the far left. The House Ethics Committee is investigating the New York Democratic congress-commie. [H/T New York Post.]

The eight-member committee confirmed the investigation Wednesday but thus far has not provided details as to the nature of the investigation except to say that it has extended its looking into the matter that was brought to their attention on June 23 of this year.

The Latinx cha-cha chica was the focus of two complaints submitted to the Office of Congressional Ethics over her attendance at last year’s Met Gala in which she is picture above wearing an expensive white dress with the words "Tax the Rich" written on it in red.

Both complaints allege the socialist rep, 33, broke House rules by accepting free tickets to the star-studded, highly pretentious affair. Tickets for attendance was in the neighborhood of $35,000.

“The Committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” a statement read. But AOC had previously been the subject of two ethics complaints related to her attendance to the 2021 Met Gala.

Lawmakers are permitted, under chamber regulations, to accept free tickets to charity events directly from organizers. The New York Post has previously reported that she and her now-fiancé Riley Roberts were directly invited by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

But conservative groups allege that such allowances don't apply to this event since the invitations are controlled by Conde Nast, a for-profit company, and tables at the gala are also sponsored by corporate entities. AOC will likely claim ignorance about this issue, and when it comes to ignorance, she is totally believable, so nothing is likely to happen to her more than a light slap to her delicate Latinx wrist.

The American Accountability Foundation — the organization behind the initial ethics complaint filed against the congresswoman — claimed that Instagram “was able to purchase access to Representative Ocasio-Cortez that is unavailable to average citizens” by sponsoring a table at the gala.

The second ethics complaint was filed by the National Legal and Policy Center. It alleged that the borrowed Brother Vellies gown worn by AOC constituted an impermissible gift because it was “directly related to her ‘position with the House’ as a highly visible and controversial Member.”

“If AOC had not been a Member, she would not have been invited to the Gala,” the NLPC complaint read, “and even if she would have been invited as a private citizen, the designer would not have made a special dress for her to wear at the event.”

The irony is that the socialist message on the gown, "Tax the Rich" refers to and would directly effect the people who attended the gala, and the money that pays AOC's salary comes from taxpayers. 

Naturally, AOC's office issued a statement to the New York Post on Wednesday claiming she had done nothing wrong, but what else can they say.

Irony Warning: A rich tax deadbeat designed AOC's "Tax the Rich" dress

The privileged left sees themselves delegating but not following their rules for us peons. An example of that premise lies with the behavior of Rep. Alexandria Overtly-Commie (Socialist-NY) when she failed to pay her taxes on a failed business she ran several years ago.

Aurora James, the woman who designed Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (NY) “Tax The Rich” dress that AOC wore to the recent Met Gala, reportedly owes a significant amount in back taxes.

The New York Post reported that the 37-year-old was a “notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states,” most of which center around a company she created in 2011, Cultural Brokerage Agency, which serves as the parent company to her fashion company.

The Post reported:


The company racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failing to withhold income taxes from employees’ paychecks totaling $14,798, the state Department of Taxation and Finance told The Post. The debts — which were incurred before the pandemic — stem from 2018 and 2019. The company has been hit with 15 warrants in total since 2015. The company got into a deeper hole with the feds. Between April 2018 and April 2019, the Internal Revenue Service placed six federal liens on Cultural Brokerage Agency totaling $103,220. The liens specifically cite the company’s failure to remit employee payroll taxes.

The Post reports that James’ company has received $41,666 in pandemic relief aid; her company owes a $62,722 in matters related to workers’ compensation; and her company has allegedly relied heavily on “legions of unpaid interns working full-time jobs.” The report added that James bought a $1.6 million property in California last year and that it is already listed as “delinquent” by L.A. County, which told the newspaper that she owes more than $2,500 in property taxes.

Alexandria Obviously-Commie wears Chick-fil-A style dress at high-end Met Gala

It's a wrap

Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie (D-Commie-NY) wore a Chick-fil-A style dress at the ridiculously expensive New York City event known as the Met Gala with the words "Tax the Rich" written in red and looking remarkably similar to the fast food chicken franchise. The irony of those words were not lost on those who know the congress cretin's history of tax evasion.

Ms. Commie owes $2,000 in unpaid taxes from her failed business venture from over 8 years ago. 

The business wiz kid founded Brook Avenue Press in 2012. It was a publishing house that sought designers, writers and artists from urban areas to try painting The Bronx in a positive light with children's stories.

However, public records show the state dissolved the company in October 2016  which it can do due to failure to pay corporate taxes or file a return. The NY State Tax Department filed a warrant against the young communist's now-defunct business on July 6, 2017 over an unpaid bill of $1,618.36 and the outstanding balance was not satisfied that year and had grown to $2,088.78 the department said.

AOC claims the bill was issued in error and challenged the finding.

Fast forward again to Sept. 13, 2021.

AOC's dress and her nasal voice went viral on social media and drew attention from some users who saw the similarity of the red lettering ["Tax the Rich"] and the Chick-fil-A branding on the company's paper bags.

"Who wore it better?" one user wrote on Twitter, along with the side-by-side picture [above].

Others tweeted that it reminded them of the scratchy lettering from the company's ads, in which cows scrawl the message, "Eat Mor Chikin."

In spite of the funny blowback she received, the congress cretin said the lettering was  "about having a real conversation about fairness and equity in our system, and I think this conversation is particularly relevant as we debate the budget and reconciliation bill."

A feeble attempt to look intelligent

Except when it comes to an actual debate, AOC does her best to avoid it. Several years ago she was challenged to a debate by conservative Daily Wire host, Ben Shapiro, but rather than taking him up on it, she simply used an ad hominem attack against him and pretended she was intelligent.

AOC admits she's a socialist, but likes to throw in the word "Democratic" because she believes it takes the sting out of the fact that she and her ilk are envious of successful people and want to make them pay so that they can afford to attend the $30,000 per ticket Met Gala and pretend to hold the moral high-ground.

Perhaps someone should remind AOC that she needs to pay her taxes before she says the rich should pay more than they already do.
