Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has faced a series of smears from the right, and they continued on Friday when GOP strategist Luke Thompson posted a screenshot of what he said was the email of Riley Roberts, the freshman congresswoman’s longtime boyfriend. Showing the address, which was for a government account, Thompson argued it proved Ocasio-Cortez had decided to employ Roberts with taxpayer dollars. “Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly,” he added. It wasn’t long before the lawmaker herself jumped in, explaining that it was permission for him to access her Google calendar. “Congressional spouses get Gcal access all the time,” she said.
