The following article, WATCH: Far-Left Outlet Deceptively Edits Video to Make It Look Like AOC Outsmarted FBI Official, was first published on Flag And Cross.
Let’s begin with a saying Democrat politicians love to use: “Let’s be clear.”
Okay, let’s be clear that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has never outsmarted a single person during her time as a Congresswoman.
That’s actually pretty darn clear, based on the copious amounts of WTH? she provides for the nation on a daily basis.
Far-left propaganda group NowThis decided to deceptively edit a video to make it look like AOC ran circles around an FBI official – which she clearly did not.
Here’s the real thing:
FBI Asst. Director of Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity has to repeatedly explain to Ocasio-Cortez that domestic terrorists are not charged with domestic terrorism because no domestic terrorist statute exists
AOC, who is a *lawmaker*, does not understand what that means

Here’s the edited clip:
The far-left propaganda group NowThis blatantly lies about the hearing: "AOC called out the FBI's double standard for white terrorism"
The FBI does not have a double standard for "white terrorism," there is no domestic terrorism statute
Also, the FBI does *not* write laws pic.twitter.com/YnTPat0D5y

NATIONWIDE POLL: Was Obama The Worst President In History?
That FBI official was very polite when he told her “we are talking past each other.”
Translation: “I can’t believe the stupidity that sits before my eyes.”

Leftists like AOC are obsessed with finding racism where none is, and also with defending Islamicism. It’s truly absurd.

Apparently, AOC’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, was given his position on Alexandria’s staff after funneling cash for her campaign through her boyfriend, Riley Roberts.
“A rich guy used a PAC to pay @AOC’s boyfriend $6,000 when her campaign was running out of money. After AOC won, she gave that rich guy a job in her office. Follow me on a journey,” author Luke Thompson said.

“Last week, @AOC and her Chief of Staff @saikatc (the rich guy in question) freaked out on me when I pointed out it looked like she’d hired her boyfriend. I did some digging in the FEC. Turns out Saikat has “hired” her boyfriend, before…just not to do any actual work,” he said.

“.@AOC paid Brand New Congress LLC, which @saikatc owns, for strategic consulting. @BrandNew535, the PAC Saikat ran in parallel to his LLC, turned around and paid Riley Roberts – the boyfriend – the same amount as its sole “marketing consultant”. How swampy,” he said.

The payments to Roberts are the largest payments made by @BrandNew535 to any person or group other than Brand New Congress LLC. Oh, and Roberts doesn't work in marketing. pic.twitter.com/XN8AYl0l7J

“The payments to Roberts are the largest payments made by @BrandNew535 to any person or group other than Brand New Congress LLC. Oh, and Roberts doesn’t work in marketing,” Thompson said.
Plus, the timing looks bad.
.@BrandNew535 paid Riley Roberts $3,000 on August 9th, 2017.@AOC's campaign paid Brand New Congress LLC $6,191.32 on August 27th.
A month later @BrandNew535 then paid Riley Roberts another $3,000. pic.twitter.com/Oym09gLGZy

Roberts lists his residence as Arizona, where he's from, for the purposes of the disbursement, but for the in-kind work in 2018 and his cash donations to @AOC's campaign, he lists New York. Looks like a sad attempt to be sneaky. pic.twitter.com/lNAzmm4svP

When @BrandNew535 decided to pay six grand to Roberts, AOC's campaign was $24,000 in the hole, having raised only about $3,000. By the end of 2017, she'd raised just over $8,000 but spent about $37,250. That's a lot of money on somebody's credit card. pic.twitter.com/0vdioqSigu

Now @saikatc says he left @BrandNew535 sometime in August of 2017. But @justicedems, which he continued running, and which remains on his profile, shared an address with @AOC's campaign. It appears he still owns Brand New Congress LLC. pic.twitter.com/T0MS7ab80x

Now, maybe he wasn't her spouse then, but they were living together per her Vogue profile, so paying the money is still a massive ethical problem.https://t.co/SEqi5fEAe5 pic.twitter.com/FRduzForEM

So, we get an under the table PAC payments to your boyfriend from a wealthy benefactor, who you then hire? Add that to your next lightening round of questions about HR1 @AOC.https://t.co/KSQqq3xKRY
