WASHINGTON – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez still won’t say whether she’s giving up her salary during the partial government shutdown — a move she previously advocated for all lawmakers.
“I’ve gotta run!” Ocasio-Cortez told The Post when asked the question Thursday on Capitol Hill.
She then scampered down a crowded hallway to get in line for her mock swearing-in with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Among Ocasio-Cortez’s group was her partner, Riley Roberts. “A really incredible day, really special,” he told The Post, adding that he liked Washington thus far. “It’s great.”
Ocasio-Cortez attracted hordes of reporters and photographers on her first day as a member of Congress but stayed tight-lipped throughout the day.
That’s in contrast to her social media presence, where she cooks Instant Pot meals and talks policy with her supporters. Or blasts members of Congress for taking paychecks during the ongoing government shutdown.
“It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Dec. 22, the first morning of the shutdown. “Have some integrity.”
Members of Congress earn $174,000 a year.
Ya I read it but I was a bit confused I guessI just quoted where he said exactly that and posted the link to it.
He got quite awful quick. Did he pass out from cheap dope or get banned again?
It’s way more than just a few people who hate youThere go two of the predictable few. Talking to each other in agreement.
Im sorry was i supposed to put life on hold just to respond to more of your shallow insults?
You are one of the most disliked members here. And look who you are teaming up with against me. 2 more favorites. Lol.
At least you all stay predictable and cant come up with anything by yourselves.
No wonder you defend the smartest bully. What else would people like you do.
I have been reading your posts since you arrived starting with the RM3 agenda, and it does seem to me that you arrived here, not to talk about growing, but to troll. While I didn’t really agree with his tactics and methods (not talking about growing), you were relentless to the point of seeming unstable lol. Yes you may offer up some sound advice in the growing section your trolling, whining, and complaining outweigh any meaningful contribution IMO. Your back peddling and blaming of others is monumental and sad. I am happy to see you and tty made up, it is fitting.
It’s way more than just a few people who hate you
I joined thc farmer?No. I came back to almost 100 alerts. Only a few of them were you guys.
Remeber when riu was down last year and you needed a fix so you joined thc farmer with your same user name.
You made two ignorant posts and were permanently banned. Took about 10 minutes.
This is the only forum they will let you in. And i mean sub forum.
I am sure you are reprimanded even for trolling the grow threads here.
You are simply bad for business.
I joined thc farmer?
Still whining and blaming others I see.
It’s way more than just a few who hate youJust the few that are guilty.
Looks like I was desperate to stay there. That must have been heartbreaking to meSorry I was wrong. It was February 2017.
Keep lying. Its all you do.
