This is the gift that keeps on giving.
This is specious as best and plain dishonest, at worst.
You can work for a major corporation and donate to someone and it not mean "corporatist collusion."
I've clearly outlined where I disagree with her policies so it is not like she is my pal.
You won't see corporations show up on her donations list because it is individuals. Several people work for the US Government on her donation list. Some from marketing firms. Some from universities.
You can come up with any hair-brained idea or conspiracy theory on that stuff, too.
The only way someone could say, "I don't accept campaign donations from corporations" and it be true, based on yours and The Blaze's standards, would be if ever donator was unemployed and never worked for a corporation before. So where will those donators get money, then? This is America: an nigh-oligarchy and veritable corporatocracy.

She said she doesn't take money from corporations. She took money from corporations. One of the people was a friggin partner at the damn firm, not merely just an employee of a corporation.
So yeah, she's full of shit.
Speaking of her saying stupid shit:
Please give more interviews Alexandria. She's either lying or not very bright.
Government office in this major Texas city suggests changing historic name. Here’s why.
DMB if SJW's get their way you're gonna have to get used to calling your city a different name...

She took money from the PAC called Act Blue and individuals, not corporations.
If an individual wishes to make a donation to her but they also wish to hide their name behind a corporation, she won't accept it. And that's true.
I looked through that list and I could not find a single piece of evidence that she was lying.
Do you understand what she or any politician means when they say the will not accept donations from any corporations? No, this is not me talking down to you. I genuinely intend to ask you this question and know your answer. Your answer could be why we disagree.

That's typical liberal Democrat bullshit talking points. The GOP has bullshit like that, too. I am not justifying her bullshit, not at all. I'm pointing out that both sides do this lying bullshit to get elected.
If politicians aren't being literal and if it's normal for them to take money from partners in these firms and still be able to say they totally didn't take money from a corporation...I stand corrected. Though that sure does sound like a way for a politician to take money and be influenced by a corporation while still being able to say "I don't take money from corporations" and have it technically be true.
And yes both sides do use bullshit to get elected. The difference is this isn't a rare thing with her and she is being hailed as the future of the democrat party. The other difference is these days when the GOP lie or make a mistake the entire media pounces on it in order to issue corrections. Trevor Noah, on the other hand, didn't question any of the shit she was saying. And he can't even hide behind the fact he's a comedian cuz he's fact checked Trump before.
If We Are Going to Ban Fake News Lets Start With CNN
He makes some good points. Also...lol@ Don Lemon wondering if a black hole is responsible for a missing plane. He goes "it's preposterous...but is it preposterous?"
Wow lol. And then some other woman on CNN says a small black hole would suck in our entire universe. Lmao.

She has literally and implicitly NOT accepted any donations from any corporations.
If you want to say that she is colluding with someone from JP Morgan Chase and that other company but pretending not to take donations from them, she's doing a very very shitty job of it because those donations amount to less than 1% of her donations.

It seems impossible to accept donations from individuals who do not work for corporations. When someone says they will not take donations from corporations, they are referring to the fact that no corporation can make a donation to her. In other words, JP Morgan Chase is not allowed to make a donation to her as a corporate entity which was allowed by the SCotUS in the super duper important ruling from Citizens United v. FEC back in 2010.
In this instance, and in this case, Ocasio-Cortez is definitely not accepting donations from a corporation. There's no amount of stretching of the truth, like The Blaze tried to do, that can make it look like Ocasio-Cortez accepted a donation from JP Morgan Chase or whatever the that other thing was. Also, you can donate to any politician and write down anything you want to make them look bad. If caught, sure, the politician will return the money.
Read both of these articles. They are great reads:
Returned Money for campaigns:
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2017/10/returned-contributions/
The reason why Democrats crying about "not accepting donations from Corporate PACs" is just bullshit grandstanding:
http://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/376507-politicians-saying-no-to-corporate-pac-donations-are-pulling-a-stunt
And here is a great article from Vox, a well-known liberal pop-news site, actually posted an article arguing AGAINST democracy:
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/6/1/15515820/donald-trump-democracy-brexit-2016-election-europe
That's a great read. This is usually the opposite position of the screaming American Libtards. "My damn Hilluhree Clintuhn vowts won pop you lar elecshuns!" Seriously, read that ****ing Vox article. When you find yourself agreeing with Vox, you know that article was done well.

In this case, it's technically and figuratively true. You can search through all of those donations. If all The Blaze can find is two people (not Super PACs or PACs) who made up less than 1%, there's no story here. It's just lying by The Blaze.

If you read the article I posted about the Democrats pretty much lying about not using Corporate PACs, your point is made even stronger, here. Democrats are such wonderful hypocrites but you have to wade through their bullshit facades to find the truth.

This is correct. But this is the same bullshit the GOP did to Obama, remember? There's almost no functional difference. They are both hypocrites.

Unless I paused, stopped to think about it...I would not have been able to call her out on her bullshit without picking apart her points 1 by 1. She stumbles through quite a few facts per 10 seconds. The 700 billion figure would have immediately caught my attention, however. I would have said, "WAIT...the MIC just doubled its annual funding? Why didn't I hear about this? I'm a news anchor for one of the largest news agencies in the world and I didn't hear about this..."
Both sides are hypocrites. Both sides ARE NOT called out on that hypocrisy at the same rate. This is the issue.
And hell Trevor has had shows since the interview. Why the f*ck hasn't he corrected any dumb bullshit she spewed?
Same side that screams facts matter lol. Same side. Hell, this is the same guy who pushed back on a variety of claims Tomi Lahren made when he interviewed her lol. But he can't say a thing about this socialist whacko? Not one? Not ever? Lol.

Called it. 😎
College dean sorry for kind tweet about GOP nominee who’s an old friend. The reason is no surprise.
You'd think the recent thing with James Gunn would have taught the left a lesson about this kind of shit lol. Oh well, they have only themselves to blame next time one of their own gets taken down because of some tweet.
Not only is nothing the dean said wrong.... he had no reason to delete the tweet or to apologize to these snowflakes. Now thousands of people have seen how spineless these people are. Good stuff. He stepped out of line and was actually thinking for himself, but the cult found out what he was doing and managed to put a stop to it.
