Last week it was announced that Felicity Huffman intends to strike a plea deal for her involvement in the college admissions fraud scheme Operation Varsity Blues, in which she’s accused of paying $15,000 to have her daughter Sophia’s SAT scores falsified.
That’s not good enough for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The freshman congresswoman responded to NBC News investigative journalist Tom Winter’s tweet about Huffman potentially getting a sentence of zero to six months by pointing out the double standards for criminals of “wealth and privilege.” Our country has a “justice” system that criminalizes poverty + disproportionately targets race, yet routinely pardons large-scale crimes of wealth and privilege.
