AOC took a "comped ticket" to the Met Gala. Worth 35K. Was given a "comped" seat at a featured table, that costs an additional 300K. She was "loaned" a dress by Aurora James, who does dresses for celebrities, that said "Tax The Rich" James is known for not paying her taxes and has been accused of essentially running sweat shops to drag down her own labor costs.
AOC violated FEC regulations. The optics were pretty horrible, as AOC and other celebrities were maskless, despite a mask mandate then, but all the employees working the event were forced to wear masks. When AOC did her entrance, a masked employee had to carry the back end of her dress train because it was too long and would drag on the ground. During photo ops, masked employees were forced to line up behind AOC and other non masked celebrities as they took group photos.
Big Social Media essentially killed the story, in so much as they could through their platforms. AOC spends the most on social media advertising for any elected official in America, barring candidates for POTUS during their election run. Period. Prager University spends the most on social media advertising out of any Conservative outlet in the country, and like AOC, they have virtually immunity on those platforms. When AOC lied about J6 and hiding in Katie Porter's office, Big Social Media basically killed that story too. Following that, when Porter gave AOC a cover story, then Porter's unpaid media coverage got a dramatic boost in the months that followed.
Riley Roberts is AOC's fiance and formerly long term boyfriend. He's a 'dark money pump' much in the vein of how Ilhan Omar's husband is used to funnel money back into her own pockets. If someone wants to buy time into AOC's platform, they push the money to Roberts, which is not much different than the money funneled to Hunter Biden for "The Big Guy" Same for Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's son.
Since you've made a big public "To Do" about having me on your Ignore List, then you won't read any of this. Too bad, you might have actually learned something. This was a better response than you actually deserved.
