Community organizer that went to a school that literally brags about having former CIA agents as staff on its faculty? Yeah, I think AOC was on their radar.

  I heard this conspiracy theory coming from Bernie supporters who are burned out as well as Trump supporters. Its quite a stretch.

    The intelligence agencies have a fairly rich history of infiltrating the far left and far right. How influential they were in any events is unknown, but they almost certainly kept tabs on what every group was doing.

      Agreed. I bet they were looking into Justice Democrats as soon as they started. I just wonder how serious they were taking it before one of their candidates actually won. It certainly seems like as AOC got more popular, she seems to have gotten co-opted. I followed her extremely closely in the the run up to her win. Her personality has completely changed. Part of this I attribute to her party constantly being on her neck but there might be something else at play.

    The conspiracy theory is that she actually worked for the CIA, I'm very much not claiming that. I don't think it's even remotely conspiratorial to think that she was known to them.
