After AOC Busted In Ethics Fiasco, Rashida Tlaib Caught Violating Campaign Finance Laws
Kind of a big problem…
First, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was busted in an ethics fiasco.
Now, fellow freshman Democrat Rashida Tlaib (MI) is facing a serious problem of her own.
From Daily Caller:

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib reportedly paid herself $17,500 from her election campaign funds — after she won her midterm election in November 2018.

In total, campaign records reveal that the congresswoman paid herself a salary of $45,000 before and after the election.
FEC rules state that campaign funds can no longer be transferred to a candidate once that person ceases to be a candidate.
After her win in November, Tlaib celebrated while draped in the Palestinian flag.

Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend, Riley Roberts, was found to have a government email address.
Her team was quick to say that Roberts was not a member of AOC’s staff, therefore he’s not earning a salary.
From Daily Mail:
Her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti also argued the move was normal for a spouse or partner.
He wrote: ‘He’s not paid. We have no volunteers in the office. He’s not doing any government work. He can see her calendar just like spouses/partners/family members in other congressional office.
But something’s up.
You see, Roberts is actually listed in Alexandria’s staff directory.
LOOK:
Hey @AOC – A friend of mine who works in the House just sent me this screenshot of your staff directory from the internal congressional database.
Contrary to your denial, it lists your boyfriend as being on your staff. Care to explain why you appear to be lying? pic.twitter.com/My8ixAJyXC

Is this a “major ethics violation?”
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk says, yup.
.@Aoc is having a tough week
She ran Amazon out of NYC killing 25,000 working class jobs for her constituents she pretends to fight for
She is accused (with strong evidence) of breaking ethics rules by hiring her boyfriend on staff
Green New Deal political joke of 2019

Wow – @AOC denies her boyfriend is on her staff and yet this official document lists him on your staff
Starting to look like a major ethics violation and you lied to cover it up. https://t.co/7QyMfm4y4b

Alexandria’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti openly supports a man who was an Hitler “ally.”

She sent the following tweet:
Seeing the words “prepared” and “authentic” to describe @AOC, often with surprise that she’s made it so far. This is the superpower of women of color: to prep more than everyone else, read the room, yet stay true to yourself because the alternative ain’t worth it. Just guessing.

Self-described Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded, essentially playing the victim card:
People think it’s a joke when folks say we have to work 2x as hard for the same seat.
Whether you believe it or not, the upside is when we do get here,we’re used to being held to a diff bar. To being doubted. To getting new hoops thrown @ us last min.
So we know how to perform.

Twiter took notice, and things quickly backfired on Alexandria:
This is not about "women of colour" being prepared and authentic. This is about anyone of any colour, denomination, culture or background being prepared for a role in public life. Just do your work!

I think your notoriety came from your Twitter account, now you need to shine as a congresswoman, and you seem to be off to a good start, stay in your lane until you have proven yourself, just my thoughts

People aren’t surprised you made it this far because you are a woman. They are surprised you made it this far because you’re an economic illiterate, a geo-political dolt, and a bloody socialist! Who are you trying to kid, yourself or your constituents? #SocialismSucks

Mayor Cancels LGBTQ Pride Flag Raising At City Hall. You Can Probably Guess What Happened Next
Insert eye roll here.
The city administration of Reading, Pennsylvania is being called discriminatory by rabid left-wingers after canceling a ceremony to raise an LGBTQ pride flag at city hall on Monday of this week. City hall canceled the flag ceremony because flying the flag would be showing support for a “political movement” and no flags supporting such movements are to be flown at city hall. via TheBlaze: “People don’t realize how many people come here looking to put up flags for movements and stuff, and I’m just not part of that, and I don’t think we should be,” the Democrat added to WPVI-TV. The LGBT Center of Greater Reading issued a statement saying “what was supposed to be a proud and historical moment” turned into “a show of blatant, unacceptable discrimination.” “We are not a cause,” the statement added. “We are human beings protected by an anti-discrimination ordinance in the City of Reading.” Local LGBTQ leaders told WPVI they plan to file a complaint with the city’s Human Relations Commission. Why should LGBTQ folks have a flag flying at city hall? If all they want is to be treated like everyone else, to be considered equal, why do they continually seek to have more rights and be a protected group? That just doesn’t make any sense. It seems pretty clear what they are really reaching for is normalization. They want other people to accept their lifestyle as normal and acceptable, to be validated. This is because deep down, they know such a lifestyle is sinful and goes against nature. This is identity politics at its finest.

NY Times Makes Insane Claim About Soviets During The Space Race
The folks at the NY Times must be just plain miserable.
So it’s beginning to seem like the folks over at the NY Times have some sort of strange infatuation with the oppressive Communist overlords from the Soviet Union, as they’re now, on the cusp of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing, claiming that the Soviet Union actually won the space race. How, exactly, did they do that? Through “equality.” This, ladies and gentlemen, is just how much the left hates America. Here’s more from TheBlaze: Here’s Sophie Pinkham’s main argument: The Cold War was fought as much on an ideological front as a military one, and the Soviet Union often emphasized the sexism and racism of its capitalist opponents — particularly the segregated United States. And the space race was a prime opportunity to signal the U.S.S.R.’s commitment to equality. After putting the first man in space in 1961, the Soviets went on to send the first woman, the first Asian man, and the first black man into orbit — all years before the Americans would follow suit. Pinkham joins a long list of NYT writers who have glorified the excesses of the Soviet Union. In his – ironically – New York Times best-selling book, “Unfreedom of the Press,” LevinTV host Mark Levin exposed this long history, dating back to Walter Duranty and his propaganda about Stalin’s regime. For nearly a century, the Times has lauded the murderous thugs who ran the Soviet Union and the system they employed. This week, as America celebrates one of her crowning achievements of the 20th century, the Times piles on again, this time by glorifying a few of the people the Soviet’s brutal regime didn’t kill for disagreeing with it. How crazy is this? Apparently these folks are forgetting about how homosexuality is viewed in Russia to this day. It’s not…
