I'm lead host at a busy Vegas Strip restaurant with long waits, and people always try to bribe me to get sat quick. Though I’m dirt poor, I’ve never taken a penny—that’d be corrupt. My coworkers, who despise politicians, support my political aspirations. Like AOC, I won’t be swayed by money. 👍 🔁 ❤️ - ThreadSky

My eye sight is so bad, I originally read that as:

I'm lead host at a busy vegan strip restaurant with long waists

I thought it was a new kind of strip bar that does vegan food. And unusually shaped people.

Craig, are you certain you want to claim that AOC has NEVER taken a penny…???

Of course, AOC has to fundraise like any politician, but the key point is that she relies on grassroots donations—not corporate PACs or special interests—the way politics should be. Grassroots support isn’t about quid pro quo; people donate because they believe in what you’re fighting for.
