Big Update After AOC Found Guilty Of Violating House Ethics Rules

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke House ethics rules by accepting more than $3,700 in gifts for her appearance at the 2021 Met Gala — including the now-infamous “Tax The Rich” dress — but paid less than $1,000 for the items.

The House Ethics Committee found that the New York Democrat failed to follow House rules on gifts and improperly gave her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, a free ticket to the exclusive $35,000-per-head event.

However, the panel has decided not to issue any formal sanctions.

The committee concluded that Ocasio-Cortez’s conduct violated House rules, laws, and standards of conduct — both in accepting the gifts and in delaying repayment. Once she repays the remaining value, the committee says the matter will be considered closed.

According to the committee, the fair-market value of the rented Brother Vellies dress, shoes, jewelry, handbag, and hairpiece totaled $3,724.04. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign delayed payments for months and eventually paid just $990.76 — most of it from her own pocket.

Her staff also disputed some of the invoices and tried to reduce costs by comparing the couture gown to cheaper rentals online.

“Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s attempt to apply a retail rental cost to a handmade couture gown was unrealistic,” the committee’s report said.
