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.
I don’t know if you get that I’m reacting to what she said. Saying she isn’t worth “even” half a million sounded a lot to me since I didn’t realize the average was so high in the US. It sounded high for saying you’re not worth “even” that. Idk if you get what I mean.
But really you’re getting bent out of shape over something very unnecessary. I suggest calming down.
RTFA.
It’s amazing that you still don’t get what’s happening.
It’s amazing you still can’t math.
What do you think needed math…? It’s just my first reaction to how high the $500,000 seemed that she talked about. I really don’t get it. Maybe there’s some American political shitflinging going on that I don’t know about since this has got a load of people upset without any reason that I can figure out.
