What have we been saying here? Snopes is not to be trusted. [1]
The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes butchered facts about a PAC controlled by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide in a story published Thursday.
Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, her former campaign chair and current chief of staff, obtained majority control of Justice Democrats in December 2017. The PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, has been widely credited with manufacturing her upset victory over incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley.
Snopes writer Dan MacGuill falsely claimed in his story that Chakrabarti, who served as executive director of Justice Democrats in 2018, “was not an official agent or officer” of the PAC. He also failed to acknowledge the fact that he and Ocasio-Cortez are members of the PAC’s three-member board of directors, according to archived versions of the Justice Democrats website and corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Sorry, no. This is not a failure to mention it. This is withholding evidence that runs afoul of the standard Democrat talking points. This is something that we’ve come to expect other places like Snopes.
Along with the rest of the leftist media, of course…
Snopes joins CNN [2], ABC News [3], NBC News [4], The Washington Post [5], Business Insider [6]and Market Watch [7] in failing to disclose the facts surrounding Ocasio-Cortez’s control over the PAC in stories about the freshman Democrat’s mounting campaign finance scandals.
Archived copies of the Justice Democrats website reveal Ocasio-Cortez and Chakrabarti held “legal control over” the PAC starting in December 2017, [8] and that Chakrabarti was one of its “major players” up until January 2019 [9].

As the video that I posted yesterday [10] shows, there’s a lot more going on here with this bug-eyed bimbo than we’re being told.
