Folks, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is in a world of trouble. See, Republicans are taking back over the House on January 3rd
0:37
It's just a couple of weeks away, and she's been referred to the House Ethics
0:40
Committee for possible violations. Now, it is important to note right off the bat that a referral does not mean
0:48
guilt, it does not mean a violation occurred. It means it's being investigated
0:51
But you guys remember that dress, that dress she wore to the Met Gala that
0:56
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
1:04
that was a nod to Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, who are super
1:09
wealthy. And, you know, here's the thing about that. You can't take gifts as a member of Congress
1:17
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
1:26
And the complaint was also about even if she didn't keep the dress, there was beauty appointments
1:31
There was accessories. There was all kinds of things that have gone on with making such an
1:36
appearance at an event like the Met Gala, transportation and whatnot. Well, these are illegal
1:43
You can't take gifts like that. If you're a member of Congress, obviously you're passing legislation
1:48
It's very easy for people to bribe you with gifts and whatnot. So that's part of her problem now
1:54
And it's a big problem. You know, it's kind of it's kind of hilarious that it comes on a dress that
1:59
says tax the rich, isn't it? Because that's kind of rich in and of itself considering
2:04
So that's a big problem for her. The other problem is it's not going to get easier with the Republicans now
2:09
running the House, although it is important to note the House Ethics
2:13
Committee is nonpartisan. So, you know, it's not it's not going to hurt her more
2:19
The Republicans are in charge, but it will hurt her more because you got to think, you know, does she keep her committee assignments
2:25
You know, McCarthy has has talked about removing a lot of these squad members
2:29
and the more radical Democrats, Democrats from their committee assignments. So that's something to think about
2:34
Also, there is also another complaint that she may not have made all her
2:38
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
2:46
Trump, the former president, and the ridiculousness of them showing his taxes
2:50
to the world, which I think is absurd. I can't think of any legal or legislative reason that has to be done
2:57
other than petty revenge. But they talk a lot about the rule of law
3:01
Well, now the power's in the other hands and you have to live by that. You wanted the rule of law
3:06
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
3:12
Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of you. And it'd be interesting to see Adam Schiff deal with it, too
3:19
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
