New in PJ Media:
In socialist countries, the political elites nobly and selflessly refrain from enjoying the fruits of the workers’ paradise they create. Instead of living in soulless apartment blocks, eating stale and unpalatable scraps, and toiling all day at state-owned factories for the sole benefit of the state itself, they luxuriate in magnificent dwellings and feast on lobster and caviar. The rules are for those who actually believe in the socialist propaganda or who have no choice but to comply.
Those who actually make the rules in the dictatorship of the proletariat don’t feel any obligation to live as if they really were proletarians. It works the same way among socialists in the U.S., as has been made abundantly clear in the congressional ethics investigation of one of the nation’s foremost spokespeople for the workers, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Swizzle Stick).
The investigation of AOC is focusing on her famed appearance at the Met Gala, which the New York Post says is “the world’s number one social event for the rich, famous and beautiful,” in Sept. 2021. The UK’s Daily Mail reported Monday that “AOC’s anti-corruption lawyer told the congresswoman’s team that she could attend the event, but only if she was listed as being a guest of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and not as a guest of event organizer Vogue magazine.” When you’re an elected representative and your “anti-corruption lawyer” tells you not to do something, you shouldn’t do it. Unless, of course, you’re AOC, and the rules are for those who aren’t favored mouthpieces of the elites.
AOC’s corruption watchdog gave her this warning because “the attorney feared that if she were listed as a guest of Vogue, she could be in violation of congressional rules which prohibit representatives from accepting gifts from companies that use lobbyists which Vogue’s parent company, Advance Media Publications, does.” In blithe disregard of this warning, however, the intrepid champion of the people “accepted a pair of $35,000 gala tickets and was listed as a guest of Vogue the night of the gala, but that the following morning staffers began pivoting to say she was a personal guest of Vogue editor Anna Wintour.” As if all that weren’t enough, AOC also “managed to pay a mere $300 for her $1,300 dress emblazoned with the phrase ‘Tax the Rich’ — along with the hours of design work, fittings, and styling — and then took months to pay back the paltry sum.” AOC’s true credo is clear: Tax the rich, except for me.
The Office of Congressional Ethics noted, according to the New York Post, that the Met exchanged emails with AOC’s staff in efforts “to ‘thread’ the ‘needle,’ in one Met staffer’s phrasing.” The Office points out that these emails “suggest that there was some attempt to obfuscate Vogue’s role.” No kidding, really?
There is more. Read the rest here.

aoc is a great (great used the same way it is for islam as a “great” religion) example of sleaze, all dressed up and proud of it.
She’s a tree full of rotten fruit and someday soon, it will be time for the reaping.

That was a horrible costume for any event, particularly making her look like a Chick-fil-A ‘chick’. But yeah, she’s one of those socialists for whom socialism is only for the pleebs, not for her!
somehistory says
All that money for a hairdo, and makeup and dress and she still is an ugly, self-important witch. She believes she is more deserving…and she is, but not for the things she believes.
Hoi Polloi says
My favorite bit was the photos of all the masked slaves prepping her, some on their knees, while she was uncovered.
somehistory says
Yes, disgusting to see such. How many people would like to confront her and tell her exactly what she is?
David M says
She sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders & all the globalists at Davos. All you capitalists are evil destroyers of the planet…..except me….now where’s my private jet?
Reziac says
Is it just me, or does she look like an expensive hoo–
Wait, she IS an expensive hooker.

Being a Democrat Communist superstar in America is a great gig if you can pull it off with support from the Democrat Communist propaganda media and the Democrat Communist-controlled Deep State.
Blougeoisie says
You mean she is a ‘just us’ democrat!?! Say it ain’t so…
OLD GUY says
A.O.C. Witch and Bitch, trying to get on the Bernie gravy train to wealthy socialist.
