New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a brand new scandal on the horizon after it was revealed Saturday that she owes back taxes on a ‘failed business.’
Just when she thought things couldn’t get worse after her FEC violations — The New York Post reported that Ocasio-Cortez owes NY state $1,877.56 in unpaid corporate taxes for a completely and utterly failed business venture. The tax lien dates back to 2012 and remains outstanding.
The NY Post alerted Ocasio-Cortez’s office about the issue WEEKS AGO, to which they promised the back taxes would be paid as soon as possible.
Thursday, however, AOC’s aide Corbin Trent claimed that the congresswoman’s lawyers were “looking into the matter.”
He also went on to say, “I’m her congressional staffer, not her personal accountant.”
The post also reported that “The state slapped the company with a warrant on July 6, 2017, two months after Ocasio-Cortez announced her candidacy to run against Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley for the district that encompasses parts of Queens and The Bronx.” Which indicates that Cortez has been FULLY aware of these unpaid taxes for far too long.
Twitter users immediately saw through Ocasio-Cortez’s hypocrisy. Her failure to pay up back taxes flies directly in the face of her democratic socialist policies. AOC supports raising taxes on the rich — who aren’t paying their fair share LOL.
Deplorable Steph jumped right on Cortez:
?AOC wants you to pay more taxes, but won't pay hers!
That seems to be the story with so many liberals!Ocasio-Cortez still hasn't paid tax bill from failed business venture https://t.co/DmitjqeBWl via @nypmetro

Here’s a few of our favorites:
“Duh, well of course I literally meant that you pay taxes not me, for sure, like I mean I’m a socialist and like literally I want you to pay taxes and @realDonaldTrump is literally Hitler like I mean that”https://t.co/h3Wtz0ktze

What is it with Dems not paying taxes?
Cortez joins ranks of Dem tax avoiders…
Democrats love taxes they just don’t want to pay them ?
