It's 'A Conflict Of Interest': AOC Exposed For Holding MASSIVE Student Loan Debt While Demanding Cancellation

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), one of the most vocal proponents calling for, indeed demanding, that American taxpayers assume billions of dollars in student loan payments was exposed in financial disclosures that showed that she would be among the beneficiaries of the so-called 'cancellation.'

In reality, there is no 'cancellation' of debt, but merely the forced assumption of it by the U.S. government and millions of taxpayers, many of whom never attended college. It would be one of the most massive wealth transfers in history.

Fox News reported that Ocasio-Cortez's disclosure revealed that she held between $15,000 and $50,000 in student loan debt as of 2022. At the same time, the radical leftist congresswoman with a $174,000 salary continually lobbied to be relieved of that debt, at the taxpayers' expense, along with millions of other borrowers.

Ocasio-Cortez posted to X, then Twitter, in May 2022, "Now would be a great time to cancel student loan debt, take significant climate action, and pass voting rights."

AOC was responding to a poll from Marist that showed Bidens dissolving approval rating from Millenial/Gen Z voters and suggested this course of action for Biden to quite literally buy support from the demographic cohort.

According to The New York Post, as of Jan. 2022 the 'Squad' of Ocasio-Cortez, her supporting Congress members Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), collectively owed between $180,004 and $400,000 in student loans.

She complained in December 2022, “I’m 32 years old now, I have over $17,000 in student loan debt. And I didn’t go to graduate school because I knew that getting another degree would drown me in debt."

Harmeet Dhillon, former Trump legal team member and vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party, told the Post, “It definitely seems like a conflict of interest to me.”

“Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is single, has no children, and is earning almost $200,000 in salary and benefits. She should be setting an example for her constituents and paying down her debts."

While apologists like Mark Jacob, formerly of the Chicago Tribune & Sun-Times, scoff and refer to wealthy members of Congress pushing for tax cuts, the false equivalence is glaring. A tax cut that benefits all Americans in a tax bracket and a direct transfer of wealth to the benefit of one group and the detriment of another is not the same. And members of Congress advocating for taxpayer funds to directly impact their own personal debts isn't just advocacy, it's unjust enrichment.

Others were quick to point out that AOC lives in a Washington, D.C. apartment at great expense and wears designer clothes while driving a Tesla and enjoying lavish vacations while a shrewd, financially responsible person could retire her student debt in a matter of months on a $174k salary.

As Dhillon suggested, the 33-year-old has been in Congress making that salary for five years now and could very reasonably have paid off her loans several times over.
