Twitter storm vs. rep.
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was roundly ripped for wearing a couture “Tax the Rich” dress to the elite Met Gala Monday night.
The mask-less OcasioCortez (D-Bronx/Queens) turned heads as she joined other left-wing leaders, including Mayor de Blasio, at the exclusive Upper East Side bash, passing by a Black Lives Matter protest against the event outside.
Her attendance quickly got a dressing-down online.
“What makes @AOC a bigger fraud: The ‘tax the rich’ dress while she’s hanging out with a bunch of wealthy leftwing elites or the lack of masks after spending the past 18 months as one of the biggest authoritarian mask Karens in the country?” Donald Trump Jr. asked.
“‘Tax the Rich’ … But first I’m gonna go have the time of my life partying with them all at the most extravagant over the top party of the year that is essentially a celebration of richness,” Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy tweeted.
Actor Michael Rapaport shared a similar message, tweeting, “Custom TAX THE RICH dress while at the most elitist event in the world.”
“Stop treating ANY of these people like celebrities they are public servants that work for US,” he wrote.
Podcaster CJ Pearson also tweeted about how the bane of the wealthy was “wearing a Tax The Rich dress at a $3[5],000/person event, exclusively attended by Hollywood elites.”
“She understands irony almost as well as she does economics,” he quipped.
