Question for the GOP: Does starting a business with a 60 million dollar loan from your dad count as “bootstrapping?” Does getting a $2 trillion dollar corporate handout from the GOP count as “bootstrapping?” Asking for a corrupt president & his friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

What does “bootstrapping” mean to the GOP? That you didn’t go to public school? That you didn’t enlist in the military, which is funded by the gov? That you never got a tax break for starting a business or buying a home? That your parents never used food assistance to feed you? — PolitiTweet.org

I see that the right is worked up that we pointed out the myth of bootstrapping when 60% of the wealth in this coun… https://t.co/xUK1CAqL9q — PolitiTweet.org

Organizing immigrant communities is a whole new level of effort for pol campaigns. It requires deeply campaigning in several languages. Traditionally it’s deemed “not worth it.” Yet this outreach is powerful, & extends beyond an election cycle. They will show up again & again. — PolitiTweet.org

We went to small towns, & met with farmworkers + meatpackers. I saw first hand how up to 50% of Iowa’s agricultural workers are immigrant & Latino - many of them rural. These families are revitalizing entire towns in Iowa. Pundits shouldn’t use “rural” as code for race, either. https://t.co/cU1CNiZ9BI — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the most meaningful time I spent in Iowa was connecting w organizers in POC &immigrant communities, many of whom were being talked to for the 1st time by a campaign, &admiring their work. They were ignored as “just a small % of Iowans.” Turns out they made a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

We have no idea how many people in the US are living in poverty. That’s bc the “poverty line” doesn’t measure true poverty at all. Our Recognize Poverty Act directs the gov to actually find out how many Americans are struggling. Ask yourself why there’s resistance to doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

@SHODesusAndMero Wow you all published live polling results within the hour? Maybe we should let the Bronx be the first primary in the nation after all 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

“Allies of Trump have begun holding events in black communities where organizers lavish praise on Trump as they hand out 10s of 1000s of dollars to lucky attendees.” GOP will hop on me over the legal definition of a rally to distract from this garbage. They’re so predictable. 🙄 — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

While those responsible for this shadowy behavior will claim that it is legally above board, the fact of the matter is that it’s insulting and wrong. They may not be legally registered as “campaign events” or rallies, but it should be clear to all what is going on. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not “making claims” that Trump campaign allies are holding events in Black communities to hand out envelopes of cash. I’m quoting the actual reporting ⬇️ https://t.co/j0wIBHW6Yx — PolitiTweet.org
