AOC REFUSES to pay $250,000 in dues from the Democrats because the party 'clearly told people like me that we're not welcome' New York Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is holding back $250,000 in dues she owes the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee AOC says she won't pay up because she doesn't see why she should give 'to an organization that has clearly told people like me that we're not welcome'
The dues, paid from her campaign fundraising, are earmarked to help keep the Democratic House majority The 30-year-old was referring to a policy that she says 'blacklists' vendors working with insurgent primary challengers like herself
'I don't think my fundraising should go to preventing more people like me from being here in congress,' she said in an interview with Fox News.
The news outlet reported on Friday that AOC drew fire for not failing to pay the committee.
She insisted: 'I'm a Democrat, I'm proud to be on this team. I'm proud to be part of the Democratic majority,' she told Fox News, amid criticism she should quit the party and become an independent if she won't be a 'team player.'
In her defense, AOC said she's raised more than $300,000 directly for progressive Democrats, including incumbents in swing districts, and that the effort she made was for 'preserving and expanding the Democratic majority'.
