Washington [US], September 14 (ANI): Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has used her Met Gala 2021 fashion look to share a political message with the viewers.
Alexandria made an entry on the red carpet wearing a white dress by Brother Vellies that had a message “Tax the Rich” written in red on the backside, reported USA Today.
And in a conversation with Vogue, the Democratic Congresswoman from New York opened up about her outfit, hoping her dress can be a conversation starter.
“We can’t just play along, but we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions. While the Met is known for its spectacle, we should have some conversations about it,” she said.
However, Alexandria’s message received mixed reactions from the social media users.
“Tax the rich at a rich person gala which has tickets going for 30k,” a user tweeted.
.@AOC is wearing a Tax The Rich dress at a $33,000/person event, exclusively attended by Hollywood elites.
She understands irony almost as well as she does economics. #MetGala

“Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is wearing a dress with ” tax the rich” written on the back in blood red at the Met Gala. Because at the Met Gala you find people fighting for justice and against poverty and not like many think a gathering of the super vain in a remake of Vanity Fair,” another user expressed her views about Alexandria’s look on Twitter.
More offensive than the hypocrisy is the frivolity. A rich woman wore a "Tax The Rich" dress to a lavish party—and we must pretend these clowns define our politics when in fact such "bread and circus" battles mean little for how we're actually governed. pic.twitter.com/5cmxtnjFfI

Sharing a picture of her look on Twitter, Alexandria gave a befitting reply to the trollers.
“And before haters get wild flying off the handle, New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public. I was one of several in attendance in this evening,” she wrote. (ANI)

“New York elected officials are routinely invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing and supporting the city’s cultural institutions for the public,”. That means she was freeloading among the very people she wants to raise taxes on, I wonder if there could there be an ulterior motive and significant breaks might end up in the law for those in attendanc?.
Hell, i wonder how much that DAMN DRESS she wore cost? That’ certainly something us ‘non-rich’ could probably afford to wear…
I guess high society doesn’t guarantee high intelligence. She must have come to Life from Looney Tunes.
“While the Met is known for its spectacle”—just as you do in Congress—you create quite the spectacle.
She obviously believes in “Communism for thee but not for me.”
Just like i have 3+ mansions, bernie sanders.
Do you remember her crying about being able to afford housing in DC? She now lives in luxury accommodations, drives a Tesla and can afford a 30K dollar ticket to a gala. Whoa! Where did all of this sudden wealth come from? MOST OF US ALREADY KNOW.
Lobbiests of course.
She’s no more than an ambulatory blow-up doll.
Hey AOC…
Is there ANYTHING stopping you and your rich friends from sending MORE money to the Government (voluntarily)?
Hint: The answer is NO!
BUT, in typical Liberal fashion, you don’t want to use YOUR money (or the money of your rich donors) – you want “everyone else’s money”!
Hypocrite!
They only want to tax everyone ELSE. NEver themselves.
Joy Villa looked better. That is all.
She sure is full of herself and enjoying her moments on the red carpet. Look at that photo of her gloating and looking all Hollywood/fashion model. Just because you are invited to an event doesn’t mean you need to attend. Going and showing off a couture dress at a $30k per person gala doesn’t exactly make people believe you are for and one of the ‘little people’. All show no substance.
One wonders, WHO PAID for her seat at that 30k a plate gala?
“Stupid is as stupid does” and man is she in front of being “stupid”. Guess looking stupid is a democrat way.
Typical left wing socialist satanic follower who is bound for eternal hell where her opinions and satanic ideas will be forever tormenting her along with gnashing of her teeth. Yikes! wouldn’t want to be in that boat. I am a child of God and a follower of Jesus Christ. The government can take everything I have including my life but they will never take Jesus Christ from me and that is the one thing they really really want!!! Keep the faith our Lord will protect you.
I would like to see her defeated in the next election. We know that is unlikely. In a nest of like minded communist voters(aka former democrats) who are looking for something from nothing and aided by a vote fraud system designed to DISENFRANCHISE American legal voters, her re-election is assured. Too bad. It would be fitting to see her on the receiving end of her own anti-American marxist policies.
