The left usually understands optics. They play the optics game far better than the right. But every now and then, their egos get the better of them and they end up making the worst possible optics moves imaginable. Case-in-point: Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attending the Met Gala with a dress that reads “Tax The Rich.”
Of course, you won’t see any poor or homeless people in attendance. You won’t see many middle-class people for that matter unless they’re with the press or invited by a rich friend. The tickets to get into the exclusive event are $30,000 each.
The dress AOC wore was lovely other than the propaganda plastered to her back, and it wasn’t cheap. Estimates range from high four- to low five-digits for a price tag. The dress alone could feed a family for weeks if not months.
Twitter noticed.

Raided another tip jar.
Did AOC accept a $30K ticket ?
You know she thinks she is just the coolest and edgiest little thing around. She is so impressed with her clueless, obnoxious millennial self.
At this point, knowing most of the rich are idle rich liberals, I agree.
The problem is everytime they try to tax the rich, the middle class are the ones who get soaked.
Traditionally, that really applies to shoes; maybe hats - at least for women.
I don’t know many men who wear white suits these days...
I wonder who most of her campaign funds come from...
...and what’s the tax liabilities of that gift?
And poses like a flirty starlet. Not one whit of dignity as a Representative.
“Did AOC accept a $30K ticket ?”
Hmm — if she did, would it be taxable income for her? And if a “designer” gave her the dress, AOC should have a tax liability for it too. Now THAT would be some satisfying irony.
Oh just show us your boobs and let’s get the incredibly long and drawn out media foreplay over with.
She did audition for the job.
Socialism is only for the little people
From wealthy Democrats no doubt, who will show her how to avoid paying taxes, like they do..
She has no need for brains. She’s smarter than her voters.
She seems to have become quite wealthy for just a congressional salary..
...and the people who elected her are the same...
