AOC CONS her constituents! Makes a quick $11,000

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k run in Queens Saturday that she billed as “a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day.”

She didn’t bother to tell people they were donating to her campaign. She conned them out of $11,000 with $30 registration fees. Many had no idea they were contributing to her.

“We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,” the freshman Democrat told the participants before they set off

The sincere runners believed their money was going to help save the planet.

“It’s going to help raise awareness and educate people,” a female runner told The Post.

“I think it’s really for this particular New Green Deal,” said Brian Schwartz of Long Island. “No question.”

Why is anyone surprised? Its what the politicians do, particularly on the left and left-leaning aisles of government.
Like P.T. Barnum once said, “there’s a sucker born every minute”. New Yorkers are certainly graphic evidence of that statement.

I don’t feel sorry for dumbasses. Time is too short to waste it on cloud cuckoo land dwellers who are waiting on some government flunkie to grant them privileges or build some mythical utopia.
The extremely high powered intellect of the magnificent Cortez will vanish after she fills her buckets with ca$h and upgrades her living arrangements.

Nothing but a two-bit con artist, when will people learn.
