Participants in fun run organized by AOC unaware their registration fee was going toward her campaign

A fool and his money…

From Daily Mail: Runners who took part in an event organised by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t know they were donating to her campaign.

The New York Democrat, 29, held a 5k run in Queens on Saturday that she described as ‘a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.’

But many of the 400 runners didn’t realize their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign funds, the New York Post reported.
‘We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,’ the freshman Democrat told the participants before they set off.

Supporters jogged through Astoria Park alongside a AOC, who walked the route and believed their money was going to help save the planet. ‘It’s going to help raise awareness and educate people,’ a female runner told The Post. ‘I think it’s really for this particular New Green Deal,’ said Brian Schwartz of Long Island. ‘No question.’
Another woman claimed: ‘It’s to help the environment. To support the Green New Deal. It’s a good cause.’
A notice on AOC’s Facebook page claiming that the run would support ‘U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & the Green New Deal’ added to the confusion.
However full disclosure was made in the fine print, which participants may have been unaware of. ‘Registration fees are contributions to AOC for Congress,’ reads the legal disclosure on aoc5k.com, which lists the Federal Election Commission rules that donors must follow.
‘It was a campaign fundraiser,’ Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent confirmed that the event was in fact a campaign fundraiser.
198 runners came from the Bronx and from Queens neighborhoods within the 14th congressional district at Saturday’s run. The remaining 200 came from other areas. Children as young as three took part with a $20 fee to join the kids 1k. It is understood participants paid $11,000 in total.
Some participants felt told the New York Post they were felt they were taken in by the misleading advertising. ‘The site says it’s to benefit her environmental plan,’ said one supporter who would not give his name. ‘If it is going to go directly to her campaign they should have said so.’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Pulls A Campaign Donation Bait And Switch

by Jeff Dunetz And Alicia Luke | Apr 29, 2019 | Politics


Boy oh boy, that did not take long. Despite AOC’s lack of knowledge of significant issues and tendency to always say the dumbest thing at the worst time, Freshman Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed to have an idealism about her ignorant policies, but after only four months in Washington D.C., she has become a typical swampy politician. As first reported by the NY Post AOC pulled a campaign fundraising bait and switch as participants in a fun run she organized were unaware their registration fee was going towards her campaign.
The event on Saturday was billed as a family fun run supporting Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal,’ but a spokesman later revealed it was a campaign fundraiser.
“The site says it’s to benefit her environmental plan,” said one supporter who would not give his name. “If it is going to go directly to her campaign they should have said so.”

Per Fox News

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a 5k in Queens Saturday that she billed as “a Family Fun Run supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal on the Saturday following Earth Day.”

But many of the 400 runners didn’t realize their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign coffers.
“We’re getting together for our own health, for our planet’s health … and to fight for the Green New Deal together,” the freshman Democrat told the participants before they set off.
Environmentally conscious supporters — who jogged through Astoria Park alongside a beaming, strolling AOC — believed their money was going to help save the planet.
“It’s going to help raise awareness and educate people,” a female runner told The Post.
“I think it’s really for this particular New Green Deal,” said Brian Schwartz of Long Island. “No question.”

Sorry, Brian but you got scammed.
The saddest part is that 99% of them don’t realize they were played for fools and the few who do know it, will justify it by saying Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t mean to make it that hard to figure out it was a donation directly to her campaign.

Twitter was not pleased,

Another bait and switch. One of the oldest tricks in the Socialist hand book. Thanks AOC. The next trick is the Green New Deal switched to Bankrupt USA. Then Medicaid for all switch to after age 68 no treatment. Free stuff cost to much.

Imagine that! This is all a big popularity show for @AOC that’s pushing a leftist political agenda. If @RepAOC was truly concerned about the people’s issues, she would do a lot more homework (e.g. about #socialism), before opening her foot-shaped mouth. #PhoneyBaloney

The more we hear about or from AOC, the more her true self is revealed. She is a con artist. “Smiling faces sometimes they don’t tell the truth” https://youtu.be/8CJZcVi5BA4

She’s not just a con artist, she is a Democrat (is that redundant?)

She is a “master manipulator” Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior or perception of others through indirect, deceptive, or underhanded tactics. By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense.

Another generation of corrupt politicians exploiting her congressional office for her own personal gain. The corruption worsens with time. An example of how politicians go from bartenders to millionaires in a few short years.

Term limits please!

AOC proves again that her Green New Deal was misnamed, it is a green new steal.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez conned the kids under the pretense of supporting Climate Change, but the money went straight to her campaign bank account!
