Is She Or Isn’t She? Ethics Flap Arises Over AOC’s Marital Status

  • Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has listed her fiancé, Riley Roberts, as her “spouse” in disclosure forms filed this year — but her office says the two have never been “legally married,” a likely breach of House ethics rules.
  • The Bronx and Queens lawmaker referred to Roberts as her “spouse” while describing their travels to Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Italy, according to legal filings to the House Ethics Committee.
  • But Ocasio-Cortez, who confirmed in May 2022 that she was engaged, remains unmarried to Roberts, according to her spokeswoman.
  • In fact, the House Ethics Manual states that a “spouse” listed in disclosure forms must be someone to whom a member is “legally married.” Under the ethics rules, AOC would have been expected to disclose Roberts’ financial information.
