ACO is really quite amazing, and I've been hoping to see someone like her for a long time. I just worry some scandal will be manufactured shortly. I hope she's kept her nose extremely clean for all of our sakes.

Except that it's not slander if it's true.Whether or not her nose is clean isn't relevant.

Things that you and I consider virtuous can be used as evidence of moral failing by those who believe differently. It's true that AOC danced in a video for her college a few years ago. To you and I that's a big ol nothing-berder. To those who believe differently, it might as well be a sex tape as far as scandal potential. That's the point I'm trying to make. If she proves to be a two-faced evil sack of shit, we are better off knowing that so a better leader can take her place.

Yeah, but since that's inevitable it's not worth worrying about. What is worth worrying about is whether they'll find something that is actually bad.

Uh, something that would actually make her unqualified for office?

Typically I'd think of corruption, violence, or a crime of moral turpitude (i.e. involving lying, cheating, or stealing). Of course the devil is in the details, but that's the general ballpark.

Damn, I haven't been following Ocasio Cortez at all, as I don't live in the States, but this has convinced me to pay more attention to her. Very impressive.
