Republicans slap AOC with a fresh ethics violation -- over whether or not fiance Riley Roberts is her 'spouse' [View all]

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 isn’t 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 wasn’t listed as a spouse in Ocasio-Cortez’s 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.

You creeps are worried about her personal life? Meanwhile Holy Mike adjourns the House early because he wants to protect Krasnov from the Epstein files.
