Um. Why Does AOC’s BOYFRIEND Have A Congressional Email Account?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is raising eyebrows after it’s been revealed that she has given her BOYFRIEND a congressional email account.

Ummmm. Wut?

Good thing she made sure THOUSANDS of New Yorkers didn’t get jobs though, right?

According to Fox News:

The democratic socialist waded into the issue in response to a tweet alleging boyfriend Riley Roberts had been put on staff. The tweet included a screenshot of an official House email address. Ocasio-Cortez insisted that he was only given the email account so he could access her calendar.

Is it nonsense, though? Or are you hiding something?

“Actually this calendar designation is a permission so he can have access to my Google Calendar. Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote, after a political consultant Luke Thompson tweeted the picture showing Roberts having an official account like other staffers on the Hill. “Next time check your facts before you tweet nonsense.”

Her chief of staff, insisted that the boyfriend isn’t on the payroll and that he’s not doing any work related to the government.

Only… do they?

House IT rules generally prohibit the use of “the House’s electronic mail systems and resources” by unauthorized members, and only “U.S. House of Representative Members, Officers, Employees, Fellows, Interns and Contractors” with appropriate permission can use the system. Still, Boyle cited the practice of sometimes allowing spouses access.

Chaffetz said that Roberts having email access could also create other security issues and the matter should be referred to the Capitol Hill Police for further investigation.

“Being given a password to get into the House computer system has other potentially problematic issues,” he said.

Jason Chaffetz, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, isn’t buying it:

“It’s totally naïve and inappropriate – you wouldn’t allow it in most companies, let alone the House of Representatives. There should be real consequences,” Chaffetz told Fox News.

“When I was in the House, my scheduler would forward my wife my schedule once a week. But you’re not allowed unfettered access. And he isn’t even her spouse,” he added. “… It should be referred to the ethics committee for further investigation.”

This is all kinda icky, don’t you think?
