Many on Twitter found AOC hypocritical and fired back.
Lol… give us trustworthy politicians more money or else we will be corrupt… but if you do give us this raise I promise we won’t be corrupt.

She makes over $170K and she needs a *raise*???
Yeah um no.
She works for us. We tell HER when she gets a raise.
