AOC’s campaign pours massive cash into luxury Puerto Rico hotels, pricey catering and Bad Bunny venue rental (only 5.16 years left)

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's, D-N.Y., campaign spent nearly $50K in Puerto Rico between late June and September on luxury hotels, pricey meals and $23K on a "venue rental" at the same San Juan arena where she was spotted dancing in a suite at a Bad Bunny concert during an August trip to the U.S. territory.

Videos that emerged on social media from the August trip show AOC visiting a housing development to rail against gentrification while other footage from social media showed her dancing in what appears to be box seats at a Bad Bunny concert on Aug. 10 alongside Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y. Between August and September, Bad Bunny held a 31-show Residency tour at the popular "El Choli" Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, which was attended by a slew of celebrities like LeBron James, Iggy Azalea, Penelope Cruz, Austin Butler, among others.

Meanwhile, a campaign finance report from the third quarter, which records campaign expenses for members of Congress between July 1 and Sept. 30, shows that AOC's campaign spent over $15,000 at two luxury hotels in San Juan, where Bad Bunny was holding his residency tour. The campaign also spent over $10,500 on meals and catering services, the filings show.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings for Q3 show expenditures from the congresswoman's principal campaign committee on two luxury hotels in San Juan, the Hotel Palacio Provincial and Hotel El Convento. On July 28, AOC's campaign forked over $680.52 to Hotel Palacio Provincial, followed by subsequent payments to the hotel on Aug. 29, for $1,507.26, and Sept. 29, for $9,440.79. A $3,861.20 payment also went to Hotel El Convento on Aug. 25, which owns the Hotel Palacio Provincial property as well. In total, AOC's Q3 filings show she spent $15,489.77 on lodging alone in...

What is with these Democrat women? Kamala was great at burning through campaign money too.

The entire planet will cease to exist after that time. Our expert socialist bartender/climatologist/biologist made that prediction in 2019. Be sure to gird something.

It refers to her and other climate hustlers claim that we only have 5.16 years left to do SOMETHING about climate change.

It just shows that almost all the celebrities that make these claims are hypocrites. They push this agenda while they live a lavish lifestyle. They fly around the world on private jets that cost almost as much for one round trip that the average American makes in a year.

The issue for AOC is that she represents a part of NYC that is relatively poor. There are many recent immigrants that make much less annually than this trip costs. I am sure she will have some excuse as to why she went to Puerto Rico on this “fact finding trip”. Even though she does not represent PR. She represents Queens and part of the Bronx.

Indeed another bogus democrat motto exposed.

If it weren’t for BS they wouldn’t have any speeches to make.

Her voters are obviously A-OK with this.

It’s not their money and they most likely see it as her “sticking it to the Republicans.”

“New York’s 14th congressional district has a poverty rate of 18.6%, which is higher than the state average of 14.2% and the national average of 12.4%....with 18.6% of the population living below the poverty line, a figure that has increased from 17.0% in 2022.”
