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.

    AOC is doing the bare minimum?

    Care to enlighten everyone what you’ve been doing these last few years? Must be something really special and meaningful.

      Oh, the classic “what have you done?” deflection. Cute. Here’s the thing: I’m not an elected official claiming moral superiority. AOC’s job is to lead, not just clear the lowest ethical bar. Maybe demand more from your heroes instead of settling for mediocrity.
