Republicans on the House Ethics Committee have reprimanded New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she reportedly said in government filings that her fiancé, Riley Roberts, both is and isnt her spouse.
In its July 2025 report, the ethics committee criticized Ocasio-Cortez for listing Roberts as her spouse on federal documents that she filed before attending the 2021 Met Gala. Roberts and Ocasio-Cortez are not yet legally married.
The Committee also found evidence that Representative Ocasio-Cortez listed Mr. Roberts as her 'spouse' on paperwork filed with the House relating to privately sponsored travel, although the two were not legally married at the time of the gifted travel, the report states.
Similarly, the ethics panel stated that Roberts was listed as a spouse on the documents to attend the gala, but that he wasnt listed as a spouse in Ocasio-Cortezs financial filings, The Daily Mail noted. If he had been listed as a spouse, he would have been forced to disclose stock and other financial holdings.

(54,896 posts)AOC is seen as a possible contender for both the New York Senate race in 2026 and the presidential race in 2028.
There is no US Senate race for either NY seat in 2026. Gillibrand is up for reelection in 2030 and Schumer is up for reelection in 2028.

Without anything REAL there can only be chaos and lies.

(7,066 posts)If you can pay off the right people and get child abuse revised to a mere "miscommunication" as Rep. Boebert did, you can get away with anything.
But that's what cheating actually is, and certianly not a dance partner Rep. Ocasio-Cortez would ever allow.
