As our colleague Kevin Tober pointed out, the congressional investigation into Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) mostly escaped any mention on the nation’s network evening news. Except for Telemundo, which broke ranks with their counterparts Thursday by giving viewers a full, succinct account of the ethics investigation into AOC.
The national media did find time, however, to hype the ethics investigation into Rep. George Santos (R-NY). Telemundo managed to walk and chew gum, as you’ll see below:
Also in Washington: The House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into Republican representative George Santos. The panel will demand whether the lawmaker will examine whether the lawmaker for New York violated campaign finance laws for 2022, as well as allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct made by a former volunteer. Santos’s office stated that the congressman is fully cooperating with the investigation.
And Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez also faces an investigation due to her participation in the 2021 Met Gala. There, she wore the famous dress with the inscription “Tax the Rich”. The Congressional Ethics Committee voted 5-0 to investigate whether she accepted improper gifts.
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez received the dress, a purse, shoes, jewelry, hair, makeup, transportation. She said that she did not violate any ethical rules, but that payments were delayed and she found it to be unacceptable. The Committee maintains that the payments, in the amount of several thousand dollars, were made once they began to investigate her.The full report on the dueling ethics investigations lasted one minute and five seconds, 20 seconds of which went to Santos with the remaining 45 going to AOC.
Anyone depending on Univision or CNN En Español heard nothing about the ethics investigation into AOC, but heard plenty about Santos. There’s clearly something (D)ifferent in how those networks made their e(D)itorial assessments.
Americas legacy media avoids reporting on sandy cortez because they would violate their oaths to always promote the leftist narrative.
Nothing to see here, move along.
I had a story pop up on my Facebook feed yesterday about the AOC ethics violations, but when I clicked the link, it was a different story. Fox reported on it this morning.
Wait a second… if she was supposed to pay for the ticket, she didn’t HAVE a ticket. So how did she get in? Doesn’t this shitbag constantly complain about not having enough money on her paltry $135,000 a year do-nothing job? How is she shelling out $35,000 to go to one party?
Bullshit.
How typically liberal. No doubt, the ethics committee will eat this up with a spoon.
Just think how well this would have worked out if her staffer were named “Trump”.
What about an investigation of Water’s funneling campaign funds to her daughter? Where is the investigation of Omar, her campaign finance violations and immigration fraud? How about Cori Bush’s spending on “private security”… to her brother? I say, investigate Santos and run his ass off, but there are many, many others with far worse infractions to investigate first.
This is but one aspect of Sandy’s corruption. But, whatever it takes, I guess. Let’s see if she is held to accounts.
