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.
AOC is doing the bare minimum?
Care to enlighten everyone what you’ve been doing these last few years? Must be something really special and meaningful.
Oh, the classic “what have you done?” deflection. Cute. Here’s the thing: I’m not an elected official claiming moral superiority. AOC’s job is to lead, not just clear the lowest ethical bar. Maybe demand more from your heroes instead of settling for mediocrity.

I’ve done nothing but sit on my ass and be mad that someone else isn’t taking the steps to make things better.

Oh, the irony. You’re so busy patting yourself on the back for this smug little “gotcha” that you missed the entire point. Critiquing mediocrity isn’t laziness; it’s refusing to settle for scraps while the system burns.
If your bar for “making things better” is not being corrupt, then congratulations—you’ve just endorsed the bare minimum as revolutionary. Bravo, hero. Slow clap.
Maybe instead of simping for politicians who barely clear ethical limbo, you could channel that energy into demanding actual systemic change. But hey, keep translating—at least it saves you from confronting your own apathy.
