AOC Caught in Possible Campaign Fund Misuse and the Reason Might Not Be All That Surprising

If Republicans and conservatives have learned anything about Democrats, it's the fact that whenever they engage in questionable activities, it is usually a resume enhancement. They are never called out by their fellow Democrats; instead, they tend to fail up. Infidelity, screaming fits, or campaign funds they treat as slush funds, it just never seems to matter. Now, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) may be caught in some financial indiscretions of her own.

According to Federal Election Commission records, Dr. Brian Boyle received three payments in 2025 from the Congresswoman. In March, he received a payment of $11,550, in May, for $2,800, and in October, one for $4,375 for a grand total of $18,725. Boyle serves as the Chief Psychiatric Officer for Stella, a chain of mental health clinics. Just a few of the therapies Stella specializes in — that sound a lot like what one might experience being captured by little green men — are ketamine-assisted therapy, called Spravato, an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and stellate ganglion blocks.

But here is where AOC's problems might come in. Obviously, the Federal Election Commission prohibits candidates from spending campaign funds on personal expenses. They use what is called the "irrespective test" to determine if any financial lines have been crossed. AOC classified her payments to Dr. Boyle as "leadership training and consulting."

Paul Kamenar is counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center. In a statement, he laid out why AOC's expenses do not pass the smell test, saying bluntly:

“While I can understand why AOC would spend $18,000 for a shrink whose specialties include narcissistic personality disorders, using her campaign contributions for what appears to be an expense for personal use violates federal campaign finance laws. While she describes these expenses as ‘leadership training,’ Dr. Boyle has no expertise in that area, unlike several Democratic campaign consultants. This looks like yet another example of misuse of campaign contributions.”

FYI- to those dumb enough to donate to socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign she spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy. 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/qKPHnekO0C

According to previous campaign reports, AOC enjoys living the good life on frequent trips to Puerto Rico, expensive hotel stays, and food while she is there, and even taking in a Bad Bunny concert in what appear to be box seats in August 2025. Meanwhile, AOC's district in Queens, New York, is nothing short of a nightmare. Along the stretch of Roosevelt Avenue that runs through her district, there is no shortage of drug dealing, extorting businesses for rent payments by gangs, and rampant prostitution.

Those of us on the right have always suspected that AOC was a bit, to be polite, on the kooky side, with her Democratic Socialist viewpoints. So, are her expenditures really just confirming what we have known all along? Paul Kamenar is no doctor, but alleged "narcissistic personality disorders" might just be proof that she is in need of Dr. Boyle's services.

If the allegations are true, perhaps Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should be concerned about AOC challenging him for his seat and once again proving Democrats fail up.
