AOC says she's worth less than $500,000 after kickback claims — and seems to get kudos from Trump fans in response - eviltoast

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.

Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.

Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.

Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.

    How many progressives do we have in the house? How many green party members (or any independent/third party member who wasn’t initially elected as a Democrat/Republican)?

      How many progressives do we have in the house?

      Too few. The party pulls out all the stops to block them and doesn’t protect progressive incumbents.
