Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure seems to love living the good life!

While she runs around the country with fighting the oligarchy, she flies first class and always stays in the best hotels. A true champagne socialist.

In just the third quarter of this year, AOC has spent upwards of $50,000 on hotels, fine dining, and other luxuries. But remember – She’s doing it for the people. She is sacrificing for you.

From the New York Post:

AOC splurged nearly $50K on pricey hotel stays, dining and renting Puerto Rico concert venue where Bad Bunny performed

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dropped almost $50,000 on hotels and meals in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of this year — as well as renting a San Juan venue where she was caught on tape grooving at an August Bad Bunny concert.

AOC’s principal campaign committee shelled out $680.52 on July 28 to stay at the lavish Hotel Palacio Provincial, along with another $1,507.26 on Aug. 29 and a whopping $9,440,79 on Sept. 29, according to third quarter federal campaign finance filings — even as the “Squad” rep on her accounts denounced gentrification that was taking place on the island.

The “first-class,” “adults only” Palacio Provincial boasts of being “situated within an historic early 19th century building” with “transcendent hints of the structure’s grand colonial past.”

On Aug. 25, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress also paid $3,861.20 to Hotel El Convento, another 19th century property touting its “old world charm and elegance,” the Federal Election Commission filings show.

In all, the campaign forked over $15,489.77 for lodging in Puerto Rico between July 1 and Sept. 30.

At least $10,743.13 was spent on meals and catering services on Aug. 25 and Sept. 29, per the FEC filings for that period.

Is anyone surprised?

AOC is really down for the struggle. Particularly if the struggle happens at a four-star hotel.

Typical leftist.
