AOC’s luxury spending binge in Puerto Rico reignites questions about 'socialist' brand: 'Peak hypocrisy'

Wouldn't be a proper socialist if she wasn't irresponsibly spending someone else's money,' a GOP strategist says

After dropping nearly $50,000 in Puerto Rico on luxury hotels, upscale dining and a venue rental where musical artist Bad Bunny was performing earlier this year, critics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are questioning whether her socialist persona is more branding than belief considering she is living like the elitists she claims to fight.

"This is not new for her, she's a hypocrite," former White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said of the revelations about AOC's campaign spending. "Remember the dress that she wore to that famous MET Gala, where it said ‘Tax The Rich’ – it wasn't exactly ‘off the rack,’ if you will, it was a designer dress made for her."

Spicer slammed AOC and her other "squad" lawmakers who he argued love to rally against capitalism, but certainly don't mind benefiting from it. 

"These people know no bounds. They love to tell everyone what they should do about their carbon footprint, and then they fly private. They love to talk about the excesses of the rich and then they benefit from it, they trade stocks, they get rich in Congress. I've pretty much had it with these guys, but at the end of the day it's great they are being called out on it because the hypocrisy knows no bounds."

 

A campaign finance report from the third quarter, which records campaign expenses for members of Congress between July 1 and Sept. 30, shows that AOC's campaign spent over $15,000 at two luxury hotels in San Juan, where Bad Bunny was holding his "Residency" tour. The campaign also spent over $10,500 on meals and catering services, the filings show.

She’s a phony.  Groomed crisis actress by the Democrat Socialists.  Nothing surprises me.

If you are a politician that pushes socialist ideals, then your take home pay should be capped at cost of living wages. As well as any contributions you receive. The rest of your salary should go to "people in need". 

If you vote for these liberal dumbasses, your take home pay should be capped at cost of living wages.
