Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) is the target of a bipartisan probe but declined to reveal the specific allegations being investigated.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for the curious of mind, a\u00a0<em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0analysis has determined the eight most likely explanations for the committee&#8217;s interest in AOC&#8217;s numerous ethical shortcomings. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Met Gala shenanigans\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/young-adult-fantasy-fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrity politician<\/a>\u00a0drew attention to herself by waving a &#8220;Tax the Rich&#8221; dress to the swanky Met Gala in 2021. Ethics watchdogs <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/aocs-designer-met-gala-getup-violated-ethics-rules-complaint-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused<\/a> Ocasio-Cortez of violating the House rules by improperly accepting gifts\u2014in the form of clothing, fashion accessories, and various grooming services\u2014for the event. A second complaint <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/16\/exclusive-ocasio-cortez-complaint-met-gala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused<\/a> the congresswoman of ethics violations for accepting free tickets to the Met Gala, which reportedly cost $35,000 a piece, and sitting at a sponsored table valued at $300,000.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Shady finances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AOC has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/ocasio-cortez-admits-financial-disclosure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struggled<\/a> to file her required financial disclosure forms on time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) The time she pretended to get arrested in front of the Supreme Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez drew attention to herself once again in July 2022 by pretending to be handcuffed by police during an abortion protest outside the U.S. Supreme Court. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/aoc-ilhan-omar-supreme-court-arrest-staged-soros-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stunt<\/a> was orchestrated in collusion with the Center for Popular Democracy Action, a left-wing dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Illegally parking her Tesla like a degenerate wine mom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <em>Free Beacon<\/em> is <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/tesla-twitter-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the only media outlet<\/a> courageous enough to report on the congresswoman&#8217;s Tesla ownership and inability to follow the rules. On <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/socialist-tesla-whole-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/illegal-testa-parking-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">occasions<\/a>, we exposed AOC for illegally parking her Tesla in front of a Whole Foods in her posh Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Her refusal to follow simple parking laws suggests an addiction to antisocial behavior that can only be sated by committing increasingly sinister crimes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Betraying Hillary Clinton (and stealing her signature outfit)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.)\u2014Hillary&#8217;s bitter rival\u2014in the 2020 presidential election. In the most recent election cycle, AOC <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/07\/10\/aoc-progressives-in-showdown-with-hillary-clinton-in-ohio-house-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backed<\/a>\u00a0Nina Turner, a radical left-wing &#8220;defund the police&#8221; advocate, in the Democratic primary for an open House seat in Ohio. Hillary and other establishment Democrats endorsed Turner&#8217;s opponent, Shontel Brown. Hillary&#8217;s choice would go on to win the party&#8217;s nomination, but she&#8217;ll never forget the slight.
