New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been outed as a fraud again.
The 29-year-old who whined months ago that she could not afford an apartment in Washington D.C. has found one.
And hey everyone needs a place to live. You should not begrudge her for finding an apartment.
The thing is she found one of the most expensive apartments in one of the most expensive areas of D.C, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
That is a long way, in just a matter of weeks, to go from not being able to afford an apartment to living in the lap of luxury.
She needs this apartment for work and one would assume it is a tax write off for her.
Would it not have been better to get a cheaper apartment and give her “fair share” top the government like a good socialist?
After fretting about whether she’d be able to afford rent, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has moved into a luxury apartment building in the District of Columbia’s Navy Yard neighborhood, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, got a big raise with her election to Congress, a job that comes with a $174,000 annual salary. She told the New York Times she was concerned about how she would get an apartment before that salary kicked in.
She ended up moving into a luxury apartment building with a wide array of amenities where rent for even a studio apartment exceeds $2,000 a month. The Washington Free Beacon is not disclosing the exact building Ocasio-Cortez lives in due to safety concerns expressed by her office.
Her office pushed back against the notion that it was hypocritical for Ocasio-Cortez, who has made housing affordability one of her top policy concerns, to move into a luxury building. A spokesman pointed out that her office also uses a car with an “internal combustion engine that runs on fossil fuels,” even though she thinks their use should be eliminated.
The best part? AOC's new luxury apartment is only a few blocks from her office in Cannon, yet she drives every day. According to Google maps, it would take her apx. 16 minutes to walk. So much for saving the planet! https://t.co/qax1Du1hPn @FreeBeacon

(I know the building because I have a friend who lives there. It is literally the nicest apartment complex I've been to in D.C.)

These are the wages of telling others how they should live – your own lifestyle becomes a legitimate point of discussion.
How to avoid this? Leave people alone. https://t.co/pI7h9bjHA0

And she is also keeping busy by destroying the environment.
Coincidentally (and really, it is a coincidence), here's my latest, just out at noon:https://t.co/iR6b4zrqdi
