Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Put Her Boyfriend On The Public Payroll?

(PJ Media)


Tyler O'Neil February 15, 2019


On Friday morning, a remarkable photo surfaced on Twitter. Riley Roberts, boyfriend to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), appears to have been hired by his girlfriend's office. A calendar invite lists his name, Ocasio-Cortez's congressional phone number, and an email address that follows the formula for congressional staff.


Luke Thompson, a podcast host and former staffer for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), posted the photo on Twitter. "While you were having a nice Valentine's Day, [Ocasio-Cortez] 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."


Various outlets have reported that Riley Roberts, head of marketing at HomeBinding.com, is Ocasio-Cortez's squeeze. He attended her swearing-in and can be seen on the right side of the photos.
