The Fake News media made sure there’s one thing every American knows about politics: If there’s one person who’s ready to transform the United States into a socialist country, it’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y.
AOC went to meetings of the Democratic Socialists of America. She campaigned for Bernie Sanders in 2020, and she thinks President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are moderates.
But embarrassing new photos show it’s all an act.
The Bronx-based socialist may want Marxism for you, but she won’t accept anything less than luxury for her… and, like tin horn dictators of old, she thinks she’s above the law.
AOC got caught parking her ultra-chic Tesla vehicle illegally at the gourmet grocery Whole Foods — when she could have just walked there from her luxury apartment.
The Washington Free Beacon published damning photographs proving that the car, which costs anywhere from just under $40,000 to $59,000, belongs to the media’s favorite “woman of the people.”
The Tesla in the pictures “taken May 14, had a New York license plate and a congressional parking pass on the dashboard,” the paper reported.
The newspaper added that “a member of Congress” who didn’t want to be named “reported seeing her drive the vehicle into a House parking lot on Capitol Hill.”
Several outlets have reported that she drives a Tesla Model 3 Long Range.
Last October, as a freshman congresswoman, she told Vanity Fair magazine that she had just gotten a car, and she explained later that “I usually travel by train” from Washington to New York City, “but due to COVID I now drive by car” — and it’s “not a combustion engine vehicle.”
AOC added that she felt “very lucky that I have not gotten a parking ticket.”
The new photos show the car parked illegally at a Whole Foods that was within walking distance of her elite apartment building in D.C., at a grocery store that offers free parking to its patrons, no less!
“Rules and principles are for peasants, not for the rulers, and it appears that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes herself to be of the ruling class,” wrote Brandon Morse at RedState.com. “Parking illegally is definitely one of those signs that AOC believes she, an elected official of the people, does not have to abide by the same rules the people do.”
Whole Foods is a high-end, gourmet grocery store owned by Amazon, which is owned by the world’s richest man, billionaire Jeff Bezos, whom AOC has criticized.
Her new wheels cost so much that some of her critics accused her of hypocrisy.
“You’ve heard of “Limousine Liberal”? She’s a “Tesla Socialist,’” said John Fund, the national affairs reporter for National Review Online.

“Really nice to see AOC bought herself a new Tesla yet still refuses to repay her <$20k in student debt,” tweeted Molly Prince. “Rather, she still demands that taxpayers reimburse her.”

AOC has not only trashed Tesla owner and developer Elon Musk but seemed to call for the federal government to take over the whole company in December 2018.
“When we as a public choose to invest in new technologies, we deserve a return on that investment,” she told a leftist policy conference hosted by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. “And for far too long we gave money to Tesla, we gave money to a ton of people, and we got no return on our investment that the public made in creating technologies. And it’s about time that we get our due.”
But it looks like AOC got her due, cruising her posh neighborhoods in this sweet, sleek ride.
As usual, the socialist congresswoman’s defenders have pulled out all the stops to defend her own double standards. Former ESPN and MSNBC talker Keith Olbermann took aim at the Washington Free Beacon’s executive editor, Bret Scher, and even wrote that Scher doesn’t “give a s—t” about his child.
“So @aoc has a Tesla? Cool,” Olbermann tweeted. “You better get one too, a–hole, or that kid in your avatar picture who you don’t actually give a s–t about will be living in a world where it’s 120 in SC in the summer thanks to your stupidity and wastefulness of natural resources.”

But to people who think AOC’s morally superior act is getting old, this is just another sign that she’s out of touch with most Americans, let alone the folks she’s always talking about serving while she was a bartender.
“AOC is constantly trying to frame herself as one of the people, but her actions don’t measure up to her words,” wrote Morse.
Why should you want her making the laws you’ll have to live by in the new socialist workers paradise she’s trying to create once she repeals the Constitution, when she doesn’t even live up to her own beliefs?
