You did? I sincerely doubt Meta can compel AOC's consent.

If they could, I'd be in that audience, too.

She's not Republican, though, so her morals aren't available for the highest bidder. The target audience you're looking for is almost certainly Republican: they are used to their politicians being for sale, and even if they can't acquire consent they're of the "fuck your feelings" philosophy so it doesn't actually matter if you have their consent.
