Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.

“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.

“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”

    The worst part is that’s just money that our government has sent over to Israel. It’s like money laundering for traitors.

      Yep. Every year we send Israel billions in American tax dollars, and they send back a couple million in bribes to our leadership. They’ve always said that the American government is the best government money can buy. It just amazes me how cheaply it can be had.

      Think this is more embezzlement than money laundering. Not that either is a good thing.

        It’s money laundering in the sense that it starts off in a state where it can’t be used for the purposes they want, then they send it out into the world, a big chunk of it vanishes, and it comes back in the condition that it can be used to finance their campaigns.
