Are Taxpayers Footing the Bill for AOC’s Dance Classes? – Twitchy

We thankfully haven’t yet seen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez make a TikTok video of herself dancing through the halls of the Capitol, although they did dig up that dance video from her college days. Is AOC taking dance classes so she can get in on the TikTok trend? And are we paying for it?





Fox News reports:

A government accountability nonprofit is calling on the House to launch a probe into whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., misappropriated her taxpayer-funded member allowance.

Americans for Public Trust, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, sent a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) on Tuesday, questioning “several troubling expenses” from AOC’s disbursements, which they claim are “in contravention of federal law and the standards of the House of Representatives.”

Each member of Congess receives a Member Representational Allowance (“MRA”), a budget for official duties that “may not be used for personal or campaign purposes,” according to the Congressional Research Service. However, the “Squad” member is being accused of using these funds for “campaign purposes.”

The progressive congresswoman has addressed the issue on social media, claiming in a post on X responding to a claim she is “wasting tax dollars.”

“100% wrong,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “None of this is taxpayer money, this is an FEC filing. Be loud and wrong about something else. Try again next time.”

Well, if she says it’s not true …

Even if true, this is one of the minor AOC scandals. But we don’t want her spending our money on stuff like this.

We’re more upset that she’s been instructing illegal immigrants how not to be caught by ICE. We’re tired of taxpayer money going to illegals too.
