AOC flies first-class to Bernie Sanders’ ‘Fight Oligarchy’ rally as critics pan lefty pol for battling inequality one ‘mimosa at a time’

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed flying first-class to a Bernie Sanders event last month — with critics saying it shows how she battles inequality one “mimosa at a time.”

An incredulous passenger snapped AOC (D-NY) getting comfy in the roomy first-class cabin of JetBlue Flight 511 on March 19 that departed from JFK Airport in Queens for Las Vegas, where she spoke at a Sanders rally titled “Fighting Oligarchy.”

The next day, the equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade, Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe.

“Nothing says, ‘Power to the people’ like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class while tweeting about income inequality,” the flier who took the photo told The Post — claiming that AOC did not respond to friendly comments once she sat down.

“AOC is fighting the system one first-class mimosa at a time,” said the passenger, Tracey, who is from Brooklyn and was sitting in the economy cabin.

You don’t expect multi-millionaires to fly with the Deplorables do you?

The Elite/Rich benefit from the Wealth Pump (US Treasury)
All that wealth is transferred through the magic of Debt-currency as Cantillion wealth flows to Financiers, Government, and their cronies. Those closest to the source benefits most

Rule 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

Rule 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

Trying to be fair here.

Nancy flew around in her own taxpayer supplied 757 until Trump 45 took it away from her. And we don't know that taxpayers bought AOC's ticket, she could have paid for it herself (by now, she's done that if she has brains). The public buying one seat, even a first class one, instead of a whole plane --- that's better, isn't it?

What event was she going to, anyway? Government business, or Dem campaigning/fundraising?

It's bad PR, but maybe it isn't outright elitist graft...

She’ll be quiet for a while now.

Too short a while, I’m sure, but for a while.

Sandy Cortez is still working her way up the food chain to get her own taxpayer funded 757. It takes many years to obtain that kind of graft.
