Read this carefully:
But Ocasio-Cortez’s new building — built by leading D.C. developer WC Smith — is part of a luxury complex whose owners specifically do not offer affordable units under Washington, D.C.’s Affordable Dwelling Units program. The Washington Examiner is not naming the building or complex.
Now if her apartment is WORKFORCE housing yet not AFFORDABLE housing then this story is extremely misleading. I only suggest this because they state multiple times "the complex" not "her building". My kid is in DC, and many mixed-use developments have both reasonable and luxury housing.

Neat story but unless they offer specifics (like average rent in her building, its likely a partisan story.

On another point, why are you attacking someone who worked hard and achieved success? Jealous much?

Many men are threatened by women with power, especially if the woman has brown skin.

No kidding, Craig's the kind of person who voted for her.

Given that it's from the Washington Examiner, that's a pretty safe bet.

Make it all about race and gender.

Typical liberal behavior.

Many old schoolers are threatened by her because she’s courageous instead of cowardly. She’s a beautiful young woman instead of a perverted old man - of which Congress seems to attract in droves over the years. She’s got the energy of youth instead of drag-ass burnout. She’s an ethnic minority American. And best of all - whatever the threatened scandal-probe legi-punks insult her with - she has a snappy bright come back that shuts their mouths. She regularly one ups them. And quickly.

She lacks experience in Congress as they all did when they were freshmen legislators - but she’ll catch on with time - just as all the freshmen do. She’ll also make beginner mistakes. But that’s to be expected.

And the main reason most conservatives have targeted her is because they can clearly see she has a rare ability to rally voters to her cause. Which they all wish they could do with such ease.

They’re jealous of her star quality. Let’s hope she can withstand their relentless attempts to silence and smear her.

Stay Strong AOC !

Oh yeah, bmw. It’s a lot about race and gender. You betcha, buddy. The USA is one of the most racist and mysoginistic countries on earth in the history of the entire world. Call it out every time! Because when it festers quietly in polite company it makes our nation weak.

SG - I'll concede that she has "star quality" but beyond that you're dead-wrong in why conservatives have targeted her. Simply put, she's only a few tweaks away from being a full-blown Communist, and she has power - both in government and in the public square - and anybody that far to the left of the political spectrum with that kind of power in this country should scare the hell out of anybody.

Well then, bmw - look no further than the treasonous puppet - of former KGB-officer Vladimir Putin! You know - Donald J. Trump.

I'm not attacking per say I'm posting a story. I'm also not jealous of her success. But I am baffled by it. In any case she is the one who wants to tax successful people at 70%. So maybe you should be wondering if she is the one jealous of hard work.
The point of the story is to ask whether there is a hypocrisy in her stated positions on affordable housing and where she chooses to live.
It is certainly true the Washington Examiner is conservative but the Media Bias watchdog says despite their right bias what they do print rates high as to factual reporting.

Affordable housing programs have numerous restrictions, so she wouldn't have been eligible to reside there. A point deliberately left out of this article. It's barely factual.

As for taxes... Enjoying your roads, schools, and health care? I suspect your life is more marginal as a result if the tax changes ( which likely raised you taxes to benefit the wealthy)

I've made it clear in here on several occasions that I'm no fan of Ann Coulter (admittedly I know very little about Stephen Miller beyond him being a Trump adviser). But isn't this a game of what-about-ism? I thought you weren't a fan of what-about.....
