Facts, indeed, are no reason to stop bashing AOC for something she hasn't done.
The name's James. James Usari. Well, my name is not actually James Usari, so don't bother actually looking it up, but it'll do for now.

So what is the point of keeping this thread going when its central premise is demonstrably bullshit?

Is it demonstrably bullshit? Or did NBC say it's demonstrably bullshit.

You know. The institution that has lower public confidence than Congress. and that's saying something.

Honestly I kind of hope it isn't true. AOC is entertaining.

That's because centrist sources are imaginary.

1. I didn't source Fox
2. My source does not claim AOC broke the law, only that the FEC has received a complaint of illegal activities, and the details of that complaint. We will have to wait to get more details.

How is that in any way indicative that he believes one way or another? One can be amused and think it's not true.

Political conclusions (this not something you want to be see doing, even if it is legal) are not the same as legal implications (Thats' illegal, lock them up)

As an analogy: Ilhan Omar has said some disgusting things about jews, But i'm not going to call for her to be locked up; hate speech is not illegal. It is still hilarious to see someone who's used accusations of racism get flak for saying such things, and to see other people who have built themselves up as opposed to hate speech circle the wagons.

Seeing how people react when caught being hypocrites is always funny, even if hypocrisy is not illegal.

She’s blatantly said them. Are you seriously trying to deny that?
