No it isn't. This story is complete horseshit top to bottom.
Literally all it says is that a Bernie Sanders PAC employed @AOC's boyfriend for two months as a digital marketing strategist (which was already disclosed in public finance reports). How is that "the swamp"?

Thompson also makes several basic factual errors and leaps of faith in the piece.
He doubles down on his false claim from last week that @AOC put Riley on congressional payroll, and falsely claims that her chief of staff hired him to BNC (which he wasn't leading at the time).

Meanwhile, Thompson's whole thesis is that Riley didn't actually provide a service to BNC worth the compensation, and this was all just a way for @AOC to funnel him money, but nowhere in the article does he provide any evidence for this at all!
I think my favorite part is how Thompson devotes a section to saying, in 2017 Riley listed his residence as Arizona and in 2018 he listed it as New York, a-HA, checkmate, so which one is it?
He just moved from Arizona to New York, dumbass.
