‘The Squad' Is Mired In Campaign Finance Scandals
[Daily Caller] The three most prolific members of the so-called "squad" of freshman Democratic congresswoman face allegations of violating campaign finance laws and House ethics rules for their personal or political benefit 10 months into their terms.

Below are the Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaints and House ethics inquiries that have been filed against Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan since they took Washington, D.C., by storm in January with the promise of bringing about a more equitable and just world.

OCASIO-CORTEZ COULD FACE ’JAIL TIME’ OVER UNREPORTED AFFILIATION WITH OUTSIDE PAC
Ocasio-Cortez’s political rise in 2018 was made possible in large part to Justice Democrats PAC, an outside political action committee that recruited her to enter politics in 2017 and provided much of her campaign’s staffing and overhead needs in the lead-up to her June 2018 primary victory over former Rep. Joe Crowley.

Ocasio-Cortez’s relationship with Justice Democrats became the subject of intense scrutiny in 2019, resulting in two complaints submitted to the FEC.
Then there is Ilhan Omar diverting funds to her boyfriend and Rashida Tlaib paying herself out of campaign funds. This isn't the Third World, ladies.

#1 For Socialists, everyone's money is theirs to do with. Rules and laws are for the proles. This is not my surprised face.

#3 The establishment is fully compromised to looking the other way for Democrats. Otherwise I'm sure if they dug deeper they'd find some Somali Shaboob connection too with Omar.

#8 ^ Fred, or TW, perhaps you can adjust your auto-insert thingy to replace "The Squad" with "The Squalid"?

#9 Auto-translate is a Fred thing, Lex. I ought to be able to do it, but honestly I’m the legendary Microsoft grandmotherly end-user.
