Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has ditched the Big Apple for sunny south Florida, prompting supporters of the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, to hope she was “enjoying a taste of freedom.”
The far-left “Squad” member was pictured hoisting a cocktail and checking her phone with an unknown companion at a table outside of the Doraku Izakaya and Sushi restaurant in Miami Beach, according to images obtained by National Review and published late Thursday.
Ocasio-Cortez’s winter getaway comes as New York City is experiencing record-high numbers of COVID-19 cases due to the Omicron variant, with officials reporting more than 40,000 new infections on Thursday.
The city has also instituted strict mask and vaccine requirements for businesses.
In Florida, which is also seeing a spike in COVID cases, DeSantis signed a bill last month preventing businesses from creating vaccine mandates unless employees can opt out.
The Team DeSantis Twitter account was quick to troll Ocasio-Cortez over her visit to the Sunshine State.
Welcome to Florida, AOC! We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL’s leadership

They’re there because it’s free. Their own miserable states are still locked down.
I think most freedom-loving Americans see that. The problem is that the leftist idiots that voted them into power do not. Press attention like this will only help our side. Let’s hope there’s more of it.
.....Welcome to Florida, AOC! We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL’s leadership.....
RIGHT!!!! And Florida is TRUMP country, too!!!!
AOC belongs in the Bronx.
“Uh, NOT wearing a mask in a state that doesn’t require wearing a mask”
Not to defend her, but she was also eating.
Yup. Can you imaginemthe uproar on the left if a republican congress person said to do that to liberal leaders wherever you meet them in public?.
Just such a stoopid story by the NYPost. Do they expect New Yorkers to still comply with NY rules even when they’re out of state or something. More of a slap at the post than aoc.
she has a delicious little body built for sin
Yikes. That’s why I won’t start wearing shorts until I’ve had a chance to properly tan in the privacy of my back deck.
Yes, why isn’t she back home with her constituents? She should be walking the streets of the Bronx, not walking the streets in Miami Beach.
Sandy eats with a feed bag. She can’t wear a mask while eating.
She’s at an outdoor table, which is allowed even in NYC, according to my daughter who lives there. So I’m not terribly impressed by the headline, other than she fled her state to visit another freer one.
“Obviously not from Florida. Whitey there aint seen sun for a years.”
Crosses his legs like a woman, wears Birkenstock sandals.... What a eunuch.
Actually, most of the Dem insiders know the mask are a crock.
Like they know covid is little more than a cold.
He likes to watch other men have sex with his girlfriend.
There is a depressing lack of AOC bikini pics on the 'net.
Hopefully this Miami vacation changes that.
Oh, yeah...
It is time for Republicans to start fighting back!
Call out the LIEberals for the anti-American assholes they are!
