Traitors – AOC And Pelosi Hit With Abuse Accusations

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) issued an ethics complaint against several Democratic members of Congress, alleging the abuse of official resources for political gain. The complaint, submitted to the Office of Congressional Ethics, targets Representatives Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Sean Casten, Greg Casar, Maxwell Frost, Ted Lieu, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ritchie Torres, and Nancy Pelosi.

According to FACT, these members have published social media posts on their campaign accounts using government resources, including photographs, videos, and content. This action contravenes federal law and House ethics rules that regulate the social media activity of Congress members.

The complaint, supported by about 91 pages of evidence, highlights the seriousness of these violations. It points out that such conduct allows politicians to misleadingly add an official veneer to their campaign communications, thus gaining an unfair political advantage. One specific example cited involves Rep. Nancy Pelosi posting January 6 footage from her official campaign account.

FACT’s Executive Director Kendra Arnold emphasized that these are not isolated incidents but widespread and apparent violations. The lack of action by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) is seen as a contributing factor to the ongoing issue. Arnold argues that this failure not only allows violations to persist but also undermines public trust in the OCE and incentivizes members to use House proceedings for political campaigning instead of focusing on the country’s best interests.

Arnold further commented that these actions are undertaken for political advantage, at the expense of taxpayers. She calls for the OCE to act swiftly in addressing each violation to maintain integrity and public trust.

This complaint by FACT against these Democratic members of Congress follows similar individual complaints filed earlier in the year against other members, including Frost, Casten, and Rep. Reuben Gallego. The organization’s action underscores the ongoing scrutiny and demands for accountability among elected officials regarding their use of official resources for political purposes.
