Alexandria The Great's got a little ethics problem

The Congresswoman Loves the Swamp: Her Wealthy Chief of Staff used a PAC to Pay Her Boyfriend (updated)
Here’s what hasn’t changed: Saikat’s PAC paid AOC’s boyfriend six grand bookending a six grand payment from AOC’s campaign to Saikat’s LLC. AOC then made Saikat her Chief. Whether he paid Riley as an under the table reimbursement for her campaign, or simply because he wanted to throw some money at one of his candidates is actually immaterial. And you can’t tell me that money sent to Roberts isn’t money sent to AOC. They were living together and, as we’ve been told a thousand times, he’s a spouse…even though they’re not married and she doesn’t disclose his income as a spouse on her mandatory congressional disclosure forms.

As for the congresswoman herself, she seems committed to distracting from the fact that she engaged in swampy campaign finance chicanery.
