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.

                Sure you do buddy, sure you do. We all eat day old bread, hell most of us end up eating week old bread most of the time, sometimes it’s a month old frozen when your buying from Costco but we know you don’t that.

                  Lol most bakeries throw out the bread at the end of the day. By day old I dont mean from my fridge for one day. I mean bread thrown out by delis and bakeries.

                  Contact your local Food Not Bombs for more info. They do great work.

      I’m not lecturing people about being poor. I’m calling out the person who is privileged and doesn’t recognize their own privilege
