AOC Under Investigation For Her MET Gala Dress

[RAMROD 116,999]

 

The US House ethics panel has extended its investigation into congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over allegations that she may have violated congressional rules.

A nonpartisan watchdog review found "substantial reason to believe that she accepted impermissible gifts" related to a fashion event.

The probe centres on the payments for the dress she rented to attend the prestigious Met Gala in 2021.

The lawmaker has denied any wrongdoing.

In 2021, Ms Ocasio-Cortez made headlines at the New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art event wearing a white dress with the words "Tax The Rich" scrawled across the back.

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), a nonpartisan watchdog, issued a report on Thursday that says the Democratic politician was provided with the dress, a handbag, shoes and jewellery for the event. She also received hair, makeup and transportation services as well as the use of a hotel room for the event.

"While Rep. Ocasio-Cortez appears to have now paid for the rental value of the attire she wore to the Met Gala and for the goods and services she and her partner received in connection with this September 2021 event, payment for these goods and services did not occur until after the OCE contacted her in connection with this review," the OCE said in a report released on Thursday.

"If Rep. Ocasio-Cortez accepted impermissible gifts, then she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law," the OCE report said.

The OCE board recommended in June 2022 that the House review the allegations against Ms Ocasio-Cortez. The House Ethics Committee announced in December that it was investigating her, though it did not disclose the subject of its inquiry at the time.

I get it but has he actually paid for his legal wrong doings? No, he has not. That was my point. I used hyperbole to get my point across about the double standard in politics.

Okay. Slap her with a fine or whatever. But hold every other politician who have gotten away with more serious things be held accountable. Let’s not forget Matt Gaetz was recently cleared of paying for underage escorts who were essentially trafficked to a different state. Let’s not forget how that one idiot younger politician said he was invited to GOP orgy parties in Washington filled with coke. How about when Marjorie Greed and Lauren Boebert have tours to insurrectionists before January 6th?

I know these aren’t directly comparable incidents, but I am fine with her getting penalized even thought it sounds like she corrected her mistake by making a payment.

This isn’t one of those things tho this is literally a “nonpartisan” checks and balance for the ethics practices of Congress. It’s not like she’d have any real repercussions for this anyway

[Economy 52,838]

She should be more careful I suppose as a politician and public figure to make sure to not break rules.

 

That being said I hardly care about such minor rule breaking that was probably an accidental oversight on her part

 

Considering the serious dirt a lot of politicians often have, this is pretty minor stuff by comparison, hardly worth a footnote

Compared to the sh1t that people like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Neanderthal Greene have been doing, this is literally NOTHING. 

[Emvee 8,825]

Our tax dollars being used to investigate a dress. Wow
