Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made headlines on New Year’s Eve for leaving her home district and traveling to Florida. Ocasio-Cortez faced criticism for going without a mask during a caseload surge in her district.
AOC said the criticism of her breaking her own mask mandate rules was because she was so beautiful that Republicans wanted — but couldn’t — date her.
Now she has tested positive for coronavirus, according to her office’s verified Twitter account.

“Representative Ocasio-Cortez has received a positive test result for COVID-19,” her office tweeted on Sunday evening. “She is experiencing symptoms and recovering at home.”
According to the statement, Ocasio-Cortez has received both a vaccine and a booster shot, courtesy of the Operation Warp Speed rollout by former President Donald Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez, 32, remains very unlikely to suffer hospitalization or death due to her age and vaccination status.
In the statement, Ocasio-Cortez urged her constituents to follow CDC guidelines.
Yet Ocasio-Cortez was eating on a crowded patio and hugging strangers at a drag bar, despite CDC recommendations to wear a mask outdoors when unable to maintain six feet of distance, according to its website.
Some conservatives criticized her hypocrisy.
Ocasio-Cortez was widely panned when she responded and called conservatives “creepy weirdos” and accused Republicans of “projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.”
Ocasio-Cortez has also faced criticism for fleeing her own state during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in New York City. After all, she criticized Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for doing the same thing last year during the Great Texas Freeze.
On Twitter last year, Ocasio-Cortez took issue with Cruz’s decision to “abandon his constituents again as they get slammed with $16,000 electrical bills.”
A year later, Ocasio-Cortez has failed to take her own advice, and she’s failed to live up to her own standards for other congressmembers.
It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general.
These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird

The fact that these people are so creepy/weird yet are also the ones responsible for shaping the NEWS HEADLINES we all see in media should be really concerning.
I don’t even want to know what knuckle-dragging thoughts these people have all day while covering women in politics
