Governor Hochul and AOC Meeting Voters at Woodside Station in NYC – 08 Nov 2022
WASHINGTON (77WABC) — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — a member of the far left “squad” — is under investigation by the U.S. House Committee on Ethics.
The committee in a statement confirmed the probe. The move comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy recently reiterated his pledge to remove Democratic representatives Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell of California, as well as Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — from their committee posts — as Speaker of the House.
AOC’s office said they are “confident that this matter will be dismissed.”
Fox News is reporting the American Accountability Foundation — a conservative watchdog group — filed an ethics complaint against AOC over her attendance at the lavish Met Gala in New York City.
Ocasio-Cortez sparked a social media firestorm after she wore a white dress with the slogan “Tax the Rich” at the star-studded event, where tickets go for at least $30,000 each.
