Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) spent the opening weeks of the coronavirus outbreak in her luxury Washington, D.C., apartment as the deadly virus ravaged her New York City district.
On April 1, Ocasio-Cortez held a "virtual forum" with New York City constituents from her lavish apartment building in D.C.'s swanky Navy Yard neighborhood. Her Democratic primary opponent, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, criticized the freshman lawmaker's absence.
"She is out of touch," Caruso-Cabrera said in a statement. "For weeks families have been worried about where they are going to get their next paycheck. AOC hasn't been here to see their desperation and their struggle to survive. Why is she in DC when Congress isn't in session?"
A spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez confirmed that the freshman lawmaker remained in D.C. for nearly a week following the House's coronavirus stimulus bill vote on March 27. Congress adjourned for at least three weeks following the vote.
Since emerging as a Democratic political juggernaut, Ocasio-Cortez has faced scrutiny for living a lavish lifestyle while posturing as a champion of the working class. When in Washington, the freshman congresswoman resides in a luxury apartment building where rent for a small studio exceeds $2,000 a month.
In her forum, Ocasio-Cortez noted that her district, which covers portions of the Bronx and Queens, is among the "hardest hit" by the virus in New York City, the epicenter of the pandemic in America. The two boroughs are first and second, respectively, in cases per 100,000 people, according to city health officials. Caruso-Cabrera said long lines for food and medicine in the district were a far cry from the Whole Foods located adjacent to Ocasio-Cortez's building.

That’s good. Actually she wasn’t out in the streets infecting people with liberalism.
Well at least she wasn’t able to infect the streets with more stupidity
When you are a member of the Outer Party you have privileges.. it’s the Bolshevik way.
Here she is complaining that elected officials aren't doing enough... WHILE SHE MAKES MARGARITAS!
Words cannot describe such levels of stupidity and cluelessness.
Watch out, AOC — MCC is gunning for your congressional seat.
Former CNBC cable TV journalist Michelle Caruso-Cabrera filed the paperwork this week to take on firebrand Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in this year’s Democratic primary for the 14th Congressional District in Queens and The Bronx.
Caruso-Cabrera boasts a similarly hardscrabble story of growing up in New York to AOC’s — she says she once worked as a waitress while the 30-year-old congresswoman was employed as a bartender.

Says the village idiot former basista, and taco worker who is just an proxy puppet of a congress critter.
well, at least she isn’t hiding in her basement like Slow Joe Biden!
AOC, the coward.
I would love to see this nasty little B*TCH fired by the voters!
Honestly, what was she supposed to do?
And believe me, AOC is 1 of my very favorite targets. She’s just a gift from God to conservatives.
Well, NewYork, June 23 is your day to let AOC know how feel about that!
She has had better things to do, such as cavorting with drag queens (true patriots, doncha no.)
God bless Tom Hendricks
Isn’t that what she was supposed to do? Thought people were supposed to stay home. Do not like the woman, but she was doing the right thing.
AOC shoulda been riding the underground rails in NYC in solidarity with her peeps.
AOC is and always will be a POS.
