Did Ocasio-Cortez Hire Her Boyfriend? Riley Roberts Has His Own Congressional Email Address, According to a Calendar Invite AOC Confirmed to Be Genuine…

…Ocasio-Cortez shot down the insinuation but confirmed that the screenshot showing the email address is legitimate.
…Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, responded, "He's not paid. We have no volunteers in the office. He's not doing any government work. He can see her calendar just like spouses/partners/family members in other congressional office. Check your damn facts before you report bullshit. Lazy journos need to learn to do their jobs."

Thompson found an internal House listing for Riley Roberts.
New from a friend inside the House. Seems like more than calendar access to me. Care to revise your statement @AOC?pic.twitter.com/Sr2HAUOkW7

Club for Growth analyst Andrew Follett explained the pickle Ocasio-Cortez is in.

Rumors swirled that Ocasio-Cortez tried to get Thompson banned from Twitter.
I'd be interested to know whether AOC had something to do with getting Luke Thompson suspended for posting publicly available information that's bad for her.
That would be at least skirting on a big 1A problem.
