Folks, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in a world of trouble. See, Republicans are taking back over the House on January 3rd

It's just a couple of weeks away, and she's been referred to the House Ethics

Committee for possible violations. Now, it is important to note right off the bat that a referral does not mean

guilt, it does not mean a violation occurred. It means it's being investigated

But you guys remember that dress, that dress she wore to the Met Gala that

said tax the rich, hilarious because she now is the rich. But there was a dress she wore that said tax the rich, and I can only assume

that was a nod to Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, who are super

wealthy. And, you know, here's the thing about that. You can't take gifts as a member of Congress

You can't take gifts like that. Now, she may not have kept the dress. We don't know. But apparently a a complaint was filed

And the complaint was also about even if she didn't keep the dress, there was beauty appointments

There was accessories. There was all kinds of things that have gone on with making such an

appearance at an event like the Met Gala, transportation and whatnot. Well, these are illegal

You can't take gifts like that. If you're a member of Congress, obviously you're passing legislation

It's very easy for people to bribe you with gifts and whatnot. So that's part of her problem now

And it's a big problem. You know, it's kind of it's kind of hilarious that it comes on a dress that

says tax the rich, isn't it? Because that's kind of rich in and of itself considering

So that's a big problem for her. The other problem is it's not going to get easier with the Republicans now

running the House, although it is important to note the House Ethics

Committee is nonpartisan. So, you know, it's not it's not going to hurt her more

The Republicans are in charge, but it will hurt her more because you got to think, you know, does she keep her committee assignments

You know, McCarthy has has talked about removing a lot of these squad members

and the more radical Democrats, Democrats from their committee assignments. So that's something to think about

Also, there is also another complaint that she may not have made all her

financial disclosures on time. And that's also a big deal. You know, these guys talk a lot about the rule of law when it comes to Donald

Trump, the former president, and the ridiculousness of them showing his taxes

to the world, which I think is absurd. I can't think of any legal or legislative reason that has to be done

other than petty revenge. But they talk a lot about the rule of law

Well, now the power's in the other hands and you have to live by that. You wanted the rule of law

You want it to drop the hammer. You want it to be tough. Well, now now you're going to have to deal with it

Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of you. And it'd be interesting to see Adam Schiff deal with it, too

He's he's maybe the most annoying of the whole lot. Folks, I want to thank you so much for joining us here on Explain America
