Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) just got hit with a massive fine for breaking House ethics rules related to her infamous appearance at the 2021 Met Gala.
The House Ethics Committee ordered the leftist star to pay $2,000 after an investigation found that she broke House rules when underpaying for certain gifts and apparel, constituting a violation of ethics rules.
The Committee’s report found that AOC “paid under fair market value for clothing and accessories,” and was ordered to pay $2,733 to vendors for the additional value of her” clothing, including the infamous dress that ironically read, “Tax the rich.”
Nothing screams socialism and working class awareness like attending the Met Gala with the nation’s elites and wearing a dress worth thousands that most Americans could never afford.
AOC’s appearance at the Met Gala was a prime example of nauseating “champagne socialism” that many rich leftists are involved in. Enjoying lavish lifestyles while pretending to be warriors of the working class.
Massive Fine
The report explained, “The Committee determined that Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s conduct was inconsistent with House Rules, laws, and other standards of conduct with respect to her acceptance of certain goods and services associated with her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala, and her delay in making appropriate payment for their receipt.”
This outcome represents a cathartic moment of justice for conservatives who had to witness AOC’s outrageous stunt and watch her get away with it for years.
The report continued by saying, “While the Committee did not find that Representative Ocasio-Cortez’s violations were knowing and willful, she nonetheless received impermissible gifts and must bear responsibility for the other conduct that occurred with respect to the delays in payment.”
The “fair market value” of AOC’s entire Met Gala outfit came out to an astounding $3,724.04. Talk about bouguisie excess and materialist signalling.
What’s worse is that AOC only paid $990.76, which suggests that this extremely expensive outfit was presented mostly as a gift, which is what got the House Ethics Committee involved amid conservatives’ fuming outrage.
The ticket to the Met Gala alone was worth $35,000, which prompted the American Accountability Foundation to lodge an ethics complaint against the self-styled far-leftist AOC.
Champagne Socialism
AOC’s “Tax the rich” dress was designed by Aurora James, of Brother Vellies, a luxury fashion brand. There is no industry more materialistic and capitalist than high-fashion, and yet AOC saw no irony in wearing a dress with that message.
AOC doesn’t seem to understand that she is “the rich,” as are the rest of the nation’s elite, who attend the Met Gala every year to engage in the typical self-congratulatory celebrations of not being one of the masses.
Socialism is a revolting anti-American ideology on its own, but fashionable champagne socialism is an altogether different monster. It’s long past time that AOC be recognized for the fraud that she truly is.
