interesting that leaders from both sides signed off on it and then left it to the next Congress to investigate.

Meh, still waiting on something to top the thread where the idea was floated that the 2020 presidential election was going to be lost on purpose by the democrats so she could run as soon as she was of age to do so.

As a bartender. Let's give credit where credit is due. She could mix drinks. Though I have a mental image of someone asking her to hand them a screwdriver, and she hands them a Harvey Wallbanger.

A lot of remarks that AOC is being investigated, but none whether the investigation has a solid basis.

I did not find any specifics on what they were investigating, only that members of her own party agreed there should be an ethics investigation.

It is a bipartisan decision.

I mean...why should democrats care about silly little ethics when it is for a good cause...right?

Don't you find it interesting

Don't you find it interesting how all of a sudden Democrats don't care about ethics when it's a Democrat being investigated?

The Democrats have investigated and censured their own. This is not particularly surprising.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

As hislegacy points out, the only Democrats who matter have gone on record to extend the investigation.

For us Democratic schlubs out here on the outside, we don't have any idea what it's even about.

Again, nobody has argued to not investigate.

1) We don't care because it's a ticket to a Met Gala and All things considered, it's a small thing. But go ahead and investigate. If she did something she should have rap her knuckles.

2)What I DO find interesting is how you completely mischaracterize Dem's ambivalence about this particular issue. In the same way that the Dem response (on CF) to Hunter's investigation was "Go ahead if he did something wrong". Another example of trying to set up a "Dems do it too" mindset that is undermined by reality.

I honestly cannot remember a time a Trump supporter has EVER said "Go ahead and investigate him and if he did something wrong, he should be charged". It has been "HE'S A VICTIM OF A WITCHHUNT AGAIN" 100% of the time.

3) Of all the things to get in trouble for, I'd argue that going to a Met Gala is WELL BELOW things like "having classified documents in a private residence".

Since the Democrats did not indicate what the ethics violation was - how do you know what it is about?

We don't know, but that's the rumor:

I am absolutely willing to be held account and whipped as needed. When this ethics committee meets again, that this will be in regards to this gala.
Thus far it's all conjecture.

But again, nobody is calling for it to be shut down. And even though AOC DOES get attacked a lot by republicans, we don't bray about her being a victim of a witchhunt. We just say "sure. whatever. Let's see".

I try not to deal in hearsay or rumors - If I did make a habit of it - I would probably be sitting on an impeachment committee somewhere.......
