Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed a member of her staff for not paying the "several thousands of dollars' worth of goods and services" for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.
The House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) opened an investigation whether Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, but the congresswoman claimed she was unaware and proceeded to let a staff member take the blame.
While speaking to investigators, Ocasio-Cortez said that she was unaware of unpaid expenses related to the dress she wore and stylists that helped her get ready for the Met Gala in 2021. "I just never, ever, ever would have allowed that to happen knowing what I have learned," she said. "But I wasn't privy to the invoices, wasn't privy to the ones that had been sent," she added.

Impeach her.
Liberals always have some excuse as to why they did something improper or illegal.
It’s the boss’s job to make sure their staff are following the rules and regulations required of an office. The only rule AOC is aware of is the one that says, “It’s not my fault!”
So-and-so did it.
Every.
Single.
Time.
.
You don’t see too many women wearing dresses emblazoned with the slogan”Tax The Rich”. That was her attire for that evening.
It’s always someone else’s fault. Democrats are irresponsible.
Hmmm..is the staffer a POC? If so, AOC must be Racisssssssss
Always the staff.
I can say on thing for AOC. It was clear from her gala photographs that she's doing a good job of working on that Kardashian Kaboose of hers.
Staffer- “ My price for the truth is 250K, my price for a lie is 500K?.
“It’s the boss’s job to make sure their staff are following the rules and regulations required…”
as staff member to a dem, it’s her de facto job to know she’s going to get thrown under the bs. Blamed.
Yes, a bus does come to mind. 😆
Typical Demonrat: never responsible for anything. Always someone else’s fault.
And see even fewer women who wear a decorated Hollywood-New York-Paris designer’s ballroom-level gown who did pay for it, do you?
OK. No ticket fee? I can see that - she was a hick barkeep who stole her other worker’s tip. Maybe she DIDN’T KNOW THE WHOLE AFFAIR WAS TO RAISE MONEY. So she walked in free. Maybe.
But, wearing a 50,000.00 dress painted for HER POLTICAL ADVERTISING, and even more free jewelry with it? Who paid for makeup artist. Her hairdresser? Her aides and consequences?
People criticizing her for this just want to date her. 🙄
Her megalomania got the best of her there. I’m the great AOC of course the peasants will make my luxury threads for free.
IIRC the Captain of a ship is responsible for all the actions of their crew. Regardless of him being away, asleep or sick.
Congress critters are responsible for their staff and their actions, however bad they were.
Great authority is great responsibility.
