A “lobbyist for a major bank” told Reuters that they’re afraid to meet
with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who now sits on Congress’s Financial
Services Committee, because “anything you do or say can be used against
you” – the lobbyist likened meeting with AOC to “going in to talk to
the FBI.”
Another lobbyist cited AOC’s use of Twitter to denounce the lobbyists
who were invited to brief the incoming Congress at “orientation”
sessions as an example of how letting the mask slip around Ocasio-Cortez
would result in global social-media shaming for poor, defenseless
lobbyists.
