AOC flys first class while constituents suffer

[Valletta]

"According to a person who knew AOC earlier in her political career, the self-proclaimed socialist has grown a taste for the finer things in life."

Oh gosh, did you see the funny segment Tucker Carlson did on AOC a day or so ago? It's about this new book that apparently compares her positively to Jesus Christ. Let me see if I can dig it up....

Ah here we go. I hear she had a pretty hilarious meltdown over it.

 

[Fantine]

Maybe she got a free upgrade because the airline employees appreciate her support of labor unions.

I guess that means my senators and congressmen never get upgrades...

lol you know I just ran across this News Segment today that is very similar with Kamala Harris having her own Children's Book published last year.

Good grief! The RW media obsession with this person.

The article notes that the price differential is $100 to $200 more for 1st class. Not really that much for someone with a ~$200k/year job. (Especially if it was an upgrade she paid herself on an official trip where the government covered the economy ticket. It's also possible that this was a campaign related travel.)

The article also breathlessly comments on her (gasp) $35,000 car and that she "lives above a Whole Foods". Oooh. There are cheaper cars, though this one is electric so there might be some sort of government discount, and apparently, her apartment building (in NY or DC, not stated) has a grocery store in the ground level.

I'm not seeing the problem. If she wants to tax the rich, that doesn't mean she can't be rich. It just means she'll have to pay more taxes lol. Start a thread when she gets what she wants but refuses to pay; that's when she'll be a hypocrite.

It was quite funny.

What is this book now? First I heard of it but the quotes on the video from the book were over the top to say the least.

I suppose it’s a crime to enjoy something nice occasionally because she advocates for a better standard of living for all.

It's called "Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC" but I don't think it's been released yet. I hadn't heard of it either until I saw this video.

I’ll check it out at the library eventually. Sounded like a surreal read.

If I remember by then, I might do the same. I only have 298349387 books in my backlog already.

Anything serious trump does, "It's not a big deal." anything minor and small a democrat does, "LOOK AT THEM."

Anything serious trump does, "It's not a big deal." anything minor and small a democrat does, "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] LOOK AT THEM."

Yes the 15th, 13th and 7th letter of the alphabet (in that order) are verboten.

You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox's Lawyers

Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'

Lol! Now if she flew everywhere by private jet you'd have a point.

 

[durangodawood]

Yes, the IOC is quite corrupt.

 

[Desk trauma]

In what way are the people of the 14th district suffering and how would their congressional rep flying coach have ameliorated it?

 

[Nithavela]

I bet most people foaming at the mouth for AOC flying first class don't bat an eye for politicians of their side buying private jets with all that lobbying money.

John Kerry wastes a lot of jet fuel flying around in his private jet to push for money to combat climate change. That's a lot worse than flying first class. However, she is using taxpayer money and is supposed to be a servant of the people.
