Republican conspiracy theorists have convinced themselves that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has hired her boyfriend.

The truth is she just wants him to have access to her calendar, but the Right has convinced themselves that she's trying to cover up some sort of scheme.

We know, the hypocrisy is strong considering the number of Trump family members working in the White House.

The false claim of AOC hiring her boyfriend started on Friday morning when Luke Thompson, vice president of the Republican analytics firm Applecart, Tweeted a screenshot of AOC's boyfriend's government contact information.

He stated:

"While you were having a nice Valentine's Day, @AOC decided to put her boyfriend on staff - drawing a salary on the taxpayer's dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, never one to shy away from a Twitter fight, quickly spoke up to clarify the situation.

She explained that by having government email, it allows him access into her Google Calendar.

She goes on to explain that:

"Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time."

AOC's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti went on to further explain the situation.

"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."

People can't believe that conservatives are trying to make this into a thing.

Ivanka? Jared?










Nice try, conservatives.

Let's focus on the real issues now, please?

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
