MICHELLE, DAN BONGINO, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW TO A "WATTERS' WORLD"
EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION INTO
CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ.
SHE ENTERED CHIEF OF STAFF A
READY ACCUSED OF FUNNELING
NEARLY $1 MILLION.
$1 MILLION!
IN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO A
BUSINESS IN ORDER TO AVOID
CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS.
NOW SHE IS FACING POSSIBLE
ETHICS VIOLATIONS REGARDING HER
TWITTER ACCOUNT.
AND, AND -- ACCUSED OF BEING A
GREEN HYPOCRITE.
JOINING ME NOT TO BREAK IT ALL
DOWN, PRESIDENT OF AMERICAN
COMMITMENT, PHIL KERPEN.
LET'S BEGIN WITH THE
CAMPAIGN-FINANCE VIOLATION FOR
THEIR CALLING A POSSIBLE
FELONY.
HER CAMPAIGN MANAGER I GUESS
WAS PLAYING LOOSE WITH A BUNCH
OF CASH.
$1 MILLION.
IS SHE IN TROUBLE FOR THIS
POSSIBLY?
>> WELL, SHE CERTAINLY IN
TROUBLE.
THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH
TROUBLE?
WE KNOW THE MINIMUM THEY ARE
REPORTING VIOLATIONS.
ALMOST THE ENTIRE BACK OFFICE
CAMPAIGN OPERATION WAS
OUTSOURCED TO A VENDOR CALLED,
BRAND-NEW CONGRESS LLC.
IN A STOREFRONT IN KNOXVILLE
TENNESSEE.
THE DISCLOSURE ON THE CAMPAIGN
REPORTS A STRATEGIC -- EVEN
THOUGH THEY WERE DOING
OBVIOUSLY MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
WE DON'T KNOW IF ANY THE MONEY
WAS DIVERTED OR STOLEN BUT EVEN
IF IT WAS ALL USED ON
LEGITIMATE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES,
THERE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY A
REPORTING VIOLATION HERE.
MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM --
>> A REPORTING VIOLATION?
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY TRIED
TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT --
[LAUGHTER] A REPORTING
VIOLATION.
WITH STORMY DANIELS.
LET ME JUST SAY WHAT A FORMER
FCC OFFICIAL HAD TO SAY ABOUT
THIS ALLEGED CRIME.
GO AHEAD.
>> I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF
SET UP.
KNOWING AND WILLFUL VIOLATIONS
OF THE CAMPAIGN ACT.
$2 MILLION, IT MAY 62,000 AND
CONTRIBUTIONS TO CANDIDATES.
NOTHING IN INDEPENDENT
EXPENDITURES.
WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THE MONEY?
EITHER IT SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR
INTO THE POCKETS OF -- WHERE
THEY USED IT TO ASSIST
CAMPAIGNS WITHOUT REPORTING IT
WHICH WOULD BE YOU KNOW, MAJOR.
--
>> AND NOW, THE FRESHMAN
CONGRESSMAN IS IN TROUBLE
POTENTIALLY, FOR TWITTER USE.
THEY SAY SHE'S BREAKING ALL
SORTS OF RULES AS A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS.
WHAT RULES IS SHE BREAKING ON
TWITTER, AOC.
>> IS LINKING BETWEEN HER
OFFICIAL TAXPAYER-FUNDED
ACCOUNT AND CAMPAIGN ACCOUNT.
SHE'S ESSENTIALLY USING TAX
DOLLARS FROM OFFICIAL OFFICE
BUDGET TO PROMOTE HER CAMPAIGN.
THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
>> IS A BIG NO-NO.
SOMETHING THAT GOT A LOT OF
ATTENTION ALSO, SHE'S INTO THE
GREEN NEW DEAL.
SHE WANTS TO GET RID OF AIR
TRAVEL AND COWS AND YOU KNOW
ALL SORTS OF FOSSIL FUELS AND
ALL THAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE THOUGH, SHE IS
NOT LIVING TOO GREEN
PERSONALLY, RIGHT?
SHE NEVER TAKES THE SUBWAY.
SHE NEVER TAKES THE TRAIN.
SHE IS ALWAYS LIKE AROUND IN
SUVS AND AIRPLANES.
WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?
>> IT'S INTERESTING, RIGHT?
SHE WANTS ALL OF US EVERYWHERE
TO TAKE TRAINS, NOT TO HAVE
CARS AND PLANES.
SHE LIVES IN NEW YORK CITY,
LITERALLY THE ONLY PLACE IN
AMERICA WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY
CONVENIENT TO TAKE MASS
TRANSIT.
TO GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND
SHE'S GOING BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND NEW
YORK.
LITERALLY THE ONLY TWO PLACES
MAYBE BOSTON ALSO, THAT MAKES
SENSE TO TAKE A PLANE INSTEAD
OF A TRAIN AND -- A TRAIN
INSTEAD OF A PLANE.
BUT SHE TAKES THE PLANE EVERY
TIME.
DOESN'T TAKE THE SUBWAY.
SHE HAS UBER RECEIPTS AND LYFT
RECEIPTS.
>> AND THEY CALLED HER A JOKE
BECAUSE SHE IS SPOUTING ALL OF
THIS STUFF.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN RECYCLE OR USE
COMPOST OR SHE GOT CAUGHT
THROWING AWAY BUNCH OF PLASTIC
BAGS.
HERE IS HER REACTING TO THE
PLASTIC BAG THING.
WATCHES.
>> I CAN BE UPSET THAT I GET 10
PLASTIC BAGS AT THE GROCERY
STORE AND THEN HAVE TO TOSS OUT
THE PLASTIC BAGS BECAUSE IT
RECYCLING IN THE AREAS TOUGH.
>> EARTH TO AOC.
YOU CAN BRING THOSE BAGS TO THE
