In a photo shoot for Interview magazine, Ocasio-Cortez was pictured wearing a $3,500 outfit as she posed with construction workers. She was decked out in a Gabriela Hearst blazer ($1,990), Gabriela Hearst pants ($890), and some Manolo Blahnik shoes ($625).
The story — along with the above graphic, posted on Twitter by @LunarLemonade — hit the pages of Reddit, prompting plenty of responses.
“I’ve never met a socialist who had the faintest idea of redistributing a penny of their own money. They’re all about taking all the time,” said one Redittor.
“As a barmaid she took all $500 of the tips after a holiday night at the bar, stiffing the waitresses with only $50,” said another. “She is only a socialist if she can take as much as she wants and leave the scraps for everyone else.”
Said yet another: “No, she’s a real socialist. This is what socialism is. You tell the people that they deserve more, and those stinky ‘rich’ people aren’t paying their fair share. Then you join the ranks of the elite, bu[y] expensive clothes, lake houses, Audis, etc., and you’re set. This is socialism. This is literally what it is.”
However, that is when it began to become hysterical!
Ocasio-Cortez in an effort to defend herself becomes one of the funniest responses ever, which in turn sparked still more fun.
Then Jake Tapper gets in the fray an attempt to protect the socialist darling.
Which of course brought on even more hilarity.
Ocasio-Cortez is the gift that just keeps giving….
