#1 The National Park Service has a very nice campground in Greenbelt MD about 10 miles from the heart of DC. IIRC, it costs about $22 a night. It is at the intersection of 2 major interstates, and a short downhill walk from a Metro station. She can stay at least 2 weeks there. No hookups but the firewood was free.

#2 Such a LIE.

She was wearing a $3.500.00 pant suit at one of her campaign stops. If her credit is so bad that she can't get a short term loan from any DC bank against a firm job in the U.S. Congresses House of Representatives then she is fit to be the perfect spend thrift, budget busting, irresponsible, Demoncrat for sure.

Expect to hear a lot more of these sound bite lies from this corrupt leftist American bashing globalist caliphate promoting Demoncrat.

#3 Most of these Congresscritters figure out the game fairly quickly and are multi-millionaires before they know it.

Otherwise, try the nearest YWCA OR find a place you can afford amongst the people.

#4 "Chip in! Homeless salsa casera!
Share needed for fair caballera!"
"Please try the Home Depots.
We nice migrant tipos
Will eat you right up, compañera."

#5 Whine, whine, whine.

An allegory for her Socialism. Once you get there, you find out there's no Magic Money Tree. Just remember the university she graduated from. They teach voodoo economics.

Now go put up a GoFundMe account, and see if people are willing to directly put you long term on their dependent account or was that election money just for short term entertainment.

#6 Reps get $174K/year. Go down the street and sell yourself if you have to, kinda like the Venezuelan wymyns who have to become whores in Columbia to support their families in that Socialist Paradise

#7 I recall that in the early days of the country, congressmen leased rooms and even shared beds.
I'm certain a young lass with her 'talents' could hook up easily with a congress pal willing to share 'expenses'

#8 She could also get a job until January. Well, maybe not...

#9 No, no! Good point, E.C.!

She could get a job as the resident expert on CNN. Or MSNBC!

#10 Socialists are supposed to run out of money AFTER they take a job, not before.

#11 How did she afford the rent while she was campaigning? Do more of that.

#12 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams Fox News For Laughing At Her DC Rent Problem

#13 What Frank said. I just looked it up. $174,000 per year = $14,500 per month. She's not working class anymore. She could afford a real nice apartment in DC and have plenty of extra spending money left for those fashionable pant suits she likes. If they don't start paying her until January she could always get one of those pay day loans. She's a big girl now. She has options.

#14 Or maybe there is some service she could perform for Bill Clinton.

#15 Class barrier my ass. How does a waitress manage when she relocates to D.C.? Oh wait...

#16 She could get a job as the resident expert on CNN.

If it is good enough for Matthew Whitaker... (Scroll down.)

#18 Surprised. I thought selling crack would have cash funded her basic needs.

#19 One would hope a Congress member could manage their own affairs if we are to entrust them with the duty of managing the affairs of the country.

#20 She could enlist in the guard. With her degree and prominence she would be admitted as an officer. Then she could stay at the BOQ at Ft Myers for cheap. The oath for Congress critters is the same as for service members.

It is as if she is too dumb to solve her problems.
