KA-CHING! AOC's 5K fun run to promote the Green New Deal was really a campaign fundraiser

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking some heat after some participants in a 5K fun run she organized this weekend were unaware that the entrance fee was really going to her campaign and not to promote the Green New Deal as they had assumed:

The website said right at the top that the event was “supporting U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal”:

From the NY Post:

But many of the 400 runners didn’t realize their $30 registration fees were going directly into the lawmaker’s campaign coffers.

Environmentally conscious supporters — who jogged through Astoria Park alongside a beaming, strolling AOC — believed their money was going to help save the planet.

“It’s going to help raise awareness and educate people,” a female runner told The Post.

“I think it’s really for this particular New Green Deal,” said Brian Schwartz of Long Island. “No question.”

“In celebration of the spirit and tenets of the Green New Deal” . . . and the re-election of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez?
