AOC is absolutely full of crap

AOC, formerly known as Sandy Cortez, attended a grand Gala at the Met yesterday.

The Met Gala is an entirely exclusive event attended by pop stars, actors, musicians, and scores of millionaire famous people with an estimated ticket costing $35,000 on an invitation-only basis. Noted The Cut:

It’s big money and a lot of celebrities. Even if you can afford a $35,000 ticket, you have to be approved by Wintour and placed by Vogue at a table. The seating chart is normally drafted in December, a full five months before. They take into account where people and their exes are sitting, and who can see whom, and place everyone individually.

The dress was designed by Aurora James

The congresswoman’s dress was reportedly designed by Aurora James of Brother Vellies, who has an estimated net worth of $9 million. Speaking with Vogue, James, founder and creative director of Brother Vellies and the founder of the 15 Percent Pledge, said she wanted AOC’s statement to “push the country forward.”

“We can never get too comfortable in our seats at the table once they’ve been given,” James said. “We must always continue to push ourselves, push our colleagues, push the culture and push the country forward. Fashion is changing, America is changing.”

AOC described James this way

"immigrant"

James is from Toronto. James' website says this:

Toronto-native and New York City-transplant, Aurora James is the Creative Director and Founder of luxury accessories brand Brother Vellies. Founded in 2013 with the goal of keeping traditional African design practices and techniques alive, while also creating and sustaining artisanal jobs, Brother Vellies is now handmade across the globe.

I might be missing something but that gown doesn't look African to me. I have seen no mention of the value of the gown.

About her appearance, which has drawn some heavy criticism, Cortez tweeted this:

And before haters get wild flying off the handle, New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public. I was one of several in attendance in this evening.

It's her responsibility to party with wealthy elite! She went to a $35,000 per ticket affair to stick it to the man? That's some comedy gold right there.

Here she is in action making the rich pay:

She was torched for this audacious display of hypocrisy

Tickets to the Met Gala cost $35K 😂 I’m starting to think AOC is just an elaborate Republican prank https://t.co/5kYVCfRLHh

Did someone say masks?

The truth is that Cortez is just another phony using her "tax the rich" theme as an excuse for her to cruise shoulder to shoulder among the bourgeoise. Her single most notable achievement was to ward off 25,000 Amazon jobs from her district. Now she's a celebrity and she is enjoying every second of Hollywood type attention while thinking she's fooling us all. She's an idiot.

But her hypocrisy has spawned some pretty funny memes. This from holla boy

So graffiti on a dress is something special?

She is indeed full of crap. In other breaking news porcupines make for poor seat cushions and giraffes have long necks.

Did you ever watch the show “Copper” on the BBC? It’s actually a pretty awesome show about the late 1860’s New York, with Tammany Hall, etc.
