The Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society paid thousands of dollars to send a cast of Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), on a junket across Latin America, where they learned from left-wing figures while enjoying luxury lodging and dining, records reviewed by the Washington Examiner reveal.
Ocasio-Cortez joined Reps. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), and Joaquin Castro (D-TX) on a weeklong trip in August 2023, during which they traveled across Brazil, Chile, and Colombia to confer with self-described communists and socialists, some of whom belonged to organizations with links to violence. Congressional filings indicate that the Democratic congressional delegation had the most sustained contact with self-described communists while visiting Chile.
