That’s rich.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s re-election campaign has spent big bucks on posh hotels — shelling out nearly $50,000 on upscale stays in the past seven months — as the democratic socialist darling rallies against the wealthy, The Post has learned.

The New York Democrat’s campaign forked over $47,000 on 45 hotel charges across the country since April, including a $5,044 bill at The Memphian — a bougie boutique hotel in Memphis, with spa services and an extravagant, animal-themed rooftop bar, filings show.

The campaign also racked up bills for $1,599 and $2,694 bill at the 4-star The Candler Hotel in Atlanta, which boasts an acclaimed restaurant and a historic landmark high-rise, according to Federal Election Commission records.

They also spent $2,274 at The Talbott, a charming 4-star hotel in Chicago’s trendy Gold Coast neighborhood.

Rooms at The Memphian generally cost roughly $200 to $600 per night, while a stay at the The Candler Hotel goes for $130 to $600 nightly. Rooms at The Talbott cost $200 to $400 per night.

In Manhattan, the campaign also spent $530.46 at the upscale Thompson Central Park hotel, which boasts “jaw-dropping” views in rooms up to $1,852 per night, and $318 at the Hyatt Seville NoMad on 29th Street – both rated as luxury tier properties.

One way the socialist bartender is pimping the affordability angle. Hopefully her ketamine addiction shrink is still illegally getting paid.

Dictators do this

Go no further than Phil Hartmann and Kevin nealon when they did SNL when it was an American comedy. Neither of which it is now

The classic line:

“Jim, let me tell you something. There’s gonna be a lot of things we don’t tell Mrs. Clinton about. Fast food is the least of our worries.”

“ And they didn’t care.”

People cared. Maybe these guys didn’t.

Making fun of it, like this, certainly brought it to people’s attention. We discussed it. And we’re open to finding out the extent.

Agree-his folk will forgive him. Will it buy us one swing vote? Perhaps but not to many.

Gone are the days of traveling by night city to city and staying in seedy motels.
The new generation of Commies are aligarchs in their own right and travel 5 stars only in private jets..

One wonders how she manages to make ends meet when her day job only pays $174,000 a year.

My six year old grandson used the term “bougie” on my wife the other day. Correct context and everything.
