At least three vulnerable House Democrats have reportedly returned campaign donations they received from the campaign of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign sent $5,000 donations to several lawmakers facing tough campaigns in 2022. At least three such Democrats -- Reps. Carolyn Bourdeaux, D-Ga., Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Conor Lamb, D-Penn -- have either declined the donations or committed to returning them, according to a POLITICO report published on Friday.
The lawmakers are reportedly concerned that being tied to Ocasio-Cortez, who is an open Democratic socialist, would hurt them with swing voters.
Vulnerable Dems fret after getting a shock: AOC’s campaign cash

As the midterm campaign’s first fundraising deadline approached this week, several vulnerable House Democrats got an unwelcome surprise in their accounts: $5,000 from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The New York Democrat sent the contributions to her colleagues to help keep the House majority ahead of a tough cycle without directly contributing to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, with which she’s publicly clashed. But Ocasio-Cortez's largesse — and an oversight at the campaign headquarters — has instead raised awkward questions among her colleagues as some swing-district Democrats fret over whether to return her money before the GOP can turn it into an attack ad.
Some members whose campaigns got unexpected Ocasio-Cortez cash are seeking answers directly from DCCC Chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) and his top staffers. DCCC aides gave lawmakers’ wire transfer information to Ocasio-Cortez's aides without the approval of more senior officials, according to multiple people familiar with the contributions.
Even if imperiled House Democrats refund her contribution now, Ocasio-Cortez’s name is almost certain to show up on their Federal Election Commission reports when they’re due this month — creating a liability for members of her party who have to win reelection in districts where her political brand is poisoned thanks to years of unrelenting Republican attacks.
While some are grateful for the infusion of cash, at least three Democrats have so far either declined the initial transfer or said they would return the money: Reps. Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, Carolyn Bourdeaux of Georgia and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, according to multiple sources.
Several people involved with the episode described it as an unforced error by the DCCC, with the staff of its campaign arm failing to anticipate the political ramifications of putting their party’s most polarizing figure on their donor rolls of vulnerable members known as frontliners.
Chris Hayden, a spokesman for DCCC declined to comment on the details but said: “We appreciate Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's ongoing commitment to a Democratic majority. Due to a miscommunication, some transfers were made in error, but that has been addressed.”
Normally, swing-district Democrats are scrounging for every last dollar to help them secure their reelections, particularly in a first quarter that has been tougher than usual for candidates across the board. But the Ocasio-Cortez donation, these Democrats said, was unsolicited and came without warning. Many of their campaigns did not receive a heads-up from the DCCC about the donation until after it hit members’ accounts — a move that surprised senior aides and campaign consultants.
“The GOP has spent four years saying the frontliners are all socialists. Now they’ve got the receipts to prove it. Anyone telling themselves this won’t be in campaign ads is in denial,” said one Democratic consultant who works for swing-seat members.
In the political donation world, wire transfers are commonly used to quickly move large sums of money from one account to another, particularly in the final stretch of a fundraising quarter and during a pandemic. The Ocasio-Cortez transfers carried clear political risk for some members, however, and some sources pointed out that she could have alleviated the current anxiety by giving to the DCCC directly.
Still, other Democrats said they saw Ocasio-Cortez’s interest in helping endangered incumbents as a positive sign for party unity, even if they were stunned by the method. And privately, the liberal star already is personally close with some of the frontliners, many of whom were elected in the same blue wave that helped Democrats recapture the House in 2018.
She offered to make similar donations to frontline Democrats during the 2020 election cycle but only contributed to those who took her up on the offer, according to two sources familiar with her political operation.
The sophomore New York Democrat spent years at loggerheads with the campaign arm and is among several progressives who have refused to pay member dues to DCCC, in part because of its treatment of liberal primary challengers.
Her current round of donations alone — an intended total of $160,000 — amount to more than half of Ocasio-Cortez’s entire dues goal for the 2020 cycle, according to a dues report obtained by POLITICO.
Ocasio-Cortez is a prolific fundraiser with a campaign machine of her own that could be a major asset to Democrats as they attempt to hold onto their majority next fall. While she has given to some individual frontline Democrats in the past, such as Reps.
Mike Levin and Katie Porter of California as well as Rep. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut, her past giving has been more selective.
This year’s crop of DCCC frontliners include 32 hand-picked Democrats who face some of the toughest elections in the country next November. The majority of them flipped GOP seats in 2018. Some, like Levin and Porter of California, proudly identify with the left wing of the party, and would face minimal political risk from an affiliation from the progressive icon.
But Ocasio-Cortez's money poses a problem for Democrats such as Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Slotkin, who represent more moderate turf and have sought to distance themselves from the left wing of the caucus. Many of the Democratic frontliners are particularly anxious this cycle after their party’s down-ballot disaster last November, which wiped out 13 incumbents. Even Democrats who clung onto their seats saw victory margins much closer than expected and remain shocked by inaccurate polling.
Now Republican campaigns have obvious fodder for attacks on many of those Democrats as “funded by” or “taking money from” Ocasio-Cortez. Past GOP attempts to elevate Ocasio-Cortez and other younger Democrats of color into bogeywomen haven't paid huge dividends with independent voters, but their effectiveness in motivating the Republican base means they're likely to continue — particularly as President Joe Biden looks to incorporate some of her priorities into his agenda.
Still, several Democratic operatives said they are expecting GOP candidates to run attacks yoking their members to Ocasio-Cortez and democratic socialist policies whether or not her contributions get returned.
“If the Republicans are going to hit us on AOC, they’re going to do it anyways,” said one Democratic source close to the process. “They don't care about the truth.”

I'm convinced dude has a screen printer in the barn there.Beau had to order an AOC Tee for how often she's topical to the convo.
That very well could be.
Lmao, it's really nuts. These people are truly some off-kilter, wacky sons of bitches
And then misunderstood the fuck out of it lol. Probably thought the fucked up town was the protagonist and Bacon's character was the villain lmao
Might be reason enough to not take these crazies too lightly. I don't! Crazy is what they do, its their norm. An don't forget many of these same people are racist as fuck and own insane amounts of weapons and ammo. Enjoy their silliness but don't take them lightly.
statements that WILL come back to haunt her if and when she chooses to run for a bigger office.
And that is most unfortunate. The US' unyielding allegiance to Isreal is perplexing to me.
Report: Marjorie Taylor Greene Harasses AOC And Accuses Her Of Supporting Terrorists
Two Washington Post reporters said they witnessed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accosting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside of the House chamber and yelling at her.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) was reportedly seen harassing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) outside of the House chamber on Wednesday, accusing the Democratic lawmaker of supporting “terrorist groups” and shouting at her about environmental policy.
According to two Washington Post reporters who witnessed the incident, Greene attempted to get Ocasio-Cortez’s attention after the lawmakers left the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon. Ocasio-Cortez ignored Greene and continued walking as Greene shouted her name twice, the report said. Greene then followed Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of supporting “terrorist groups” — referring to antifa and Black Lives Matter. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez would not debate her on policy issues.
At one point, Greene shouted, “You don’t care about the American people.” Ocasio-Cortez eventually stopped and responded to Greene, but the two witnesses said they could not make out what she said.
“Representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesperson Lauren Hitt told The Post in a statement. “We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff — especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member has already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greene’s attacks.”
In January, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a fellow progressive member of The Squad with Ocasio-Cortez, moved her office away from Greene, saying at the time: “A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway.” She said she would relocate offices for her “team’s safety.”
On Thursday morning, Greene tweeted that Ocasio-Cortez was a “fraud & a hypocrite.”
“.@AOC ‘Ms. Defund The Police’ wants to call the police for security bc she’s afraid of debating with me about her socialist [Green New Deal],” Greene wrote on Twitter. “Since you lack the courage & intelligence to debate me, I’ll debate the person who really wrote it.”
A video from the House chamber shared without audio on Twitter earlier this month showed what appeared to be Ocasio-Cortez and Greene engaging in a tense discussion. Neither of the lawmakers have since commented on the video.
This isn’t the first time Greene has publicly accosted people; before she was elected into Congress, Greene harassed David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting in Parkland, Florida, video from 2019 shows. Greene followed Hogg, a gun reform activist and Harvard University student, and others with him around Capitol Hill, shouting at him.
Greene was stripped of her assignments on the House Budget and Education and Labor Committees in February. The House voted to demote her for several of her past actions, including endorsing violence against Democratic lawmakers, making anti-Semitic comments, and perpetuating baseless conspiracy theories about QAnon, election fraud, and school shootings.

thatrancid sack of mayo must of lost her damn mind
This looney bitch needs to catch a beatdown and should be arrested along with those insurrectionists she's dragging around with her.
not only is that harassment its juvenile..the fuck is going in congress...this shit is high school..
really???
Democratic Rep. Cori Bush is moving her office after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘berated’ her
Have you seen the video of the incident she's referring to? She and her staff confronted Greene about not having her mask on. The result of the confrontation was that Greene put on her mask. Bottom line, Bush didn't put up with the carelessness.
She moved to avoid having to whoop Greene's ass. Lol.
I'm amazed at how much "Sandy" got you dudes in here fooled. She's a classic coconut......light brown on the outside and extremely white on the inside. We've seen her type here in NYC constantly. Don't let her saying she's from the Bronx fool you she's the type that always had only white friends.
That's why she was like "Call me Sandy" when she was in school.
That's why she was like "Call me Sandy" when she was in school.
One of the most well-known useful idiots doesn't have a blue checkmark? THAT'S what the coon needs to be questioning.
