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’m optimistic about US economy and pessimistic about what Trump foreign policy does to ongoing wars.

      So then if the economy does get worse for the average person over the next 3.5 years, would you reconsider voting for AOC?

        I’m not a US resident or citizen. Haven’t even been on the North American continent.

        3.5 years is a lot of time.

          Just typical. No matter what I say, you won’t vote for AOC. 😜
