"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t buying into big money politics.
The Bronx-born democratic socialist blasted U.S. campaign finance laws as “fundamentally broken” during a congressional hearing Wednesday, charging that the current state of political spending permits “bad guys” to “do all sorts of terrible things.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who has dominated headlines since she took office as the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, took several indirect jabs at President Trump during the House Oversight Committee hearing on “ethics rules for the executive branch” and the role of money in politics.
“Let’s play a game,” the 29-year-old congresswoman opened, speaking before a panel of government watchdogs, including former White House ethics czar Walter Shaub. “Let’s say I’m a really, really bad guy, and let’s say I have some skeletons in my closet that I need to cover up so that I can get elected.”
