Potential 2028 White House hopeful Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) loves to portray herself as an oligarchy-fighting champion of the working class, but the receipts tell a much different story.<\/p>\n

While raging against the rich in order to appeal to her gullible followers, AOC is living high off the hog. A \u201cchampagne communist\u201d who reportedly spends money like a drunken sailor on luxurious lodging at fancy hotels.<\/p>\n

The New York Post has outed<\/a> the \u201cSquad\u201d leader as a massive hypocrite in a Friday report that lists examples of Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s preference for posh accommodations far out of the price range of the chumps and suckers who swallow her spiel hook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n

AOC\u2019s \u2018champagne communist\u2019 campaign lives it up at luxury hotels, splurging nearly $50K on stays across US https:\/\/t.co\/X8s8XDwv0e https:\/\/t.co\/698ECAlolh<\/p>\n

AOC\u2019s congressional re-election campaign has spent \u201cnearly $50,000 on upscale stays in the past seven months \u2014 as the democratic socialist darling rallies against the wealthy,\u201d the paper reported, citing Federal Election Commission filings.<\/p>\n

Among the expenditures are \u201c$47,000 on 45 hotel charges across the country since April, including a $5,044 bill at The Memphian \u2014 a bougie boutique hotel in Memphis, with spa services and an extravagant, animal-themed rooftop bar,\u201d the Post reported.<\/p>\n

A stay at the 4-star hotel The Talbott, located in the historic Gold Coast neighborhood in Chicago, set the campaign back $2,274 while the 4-star Candler Hotel in Atlanta resulted in bills of $1,599 and $2,694, according to the FEC records reviewed by the paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cRooms at The Memphian generally cost roughly $200 to $600 per night, while a stay at the The Candler Hotel goes for $130 to $600 nightly. Rooms at The Talbott cost $200 to $400 per night,\u201d the Post states. \u201cIn Manhattan, the campaign also spent $530.46 at the upscale Thompson Central Park hotel, which boasts \u2018jaw-dropping\u2019 views in rooms up to $1,852 per night, and $318 at the Hyatt Seville NoMad on 29th Street \u2013 both rated as luxury tier properties.\u201d<\/p>\n

AOC famously sported a pricey designer gown emblazoned with \u201cTax the Rich\u201d during her appearance at the swanky Met Gala in 2021, an early indication of how the supposed critic of the rich and fabulous is secretly envious and longs to be one of them.<\/p>\n

Republicans were quick to call out Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s rank hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a champagne communist,\u201d said Republican New York State comptroller candidate Joseph Hernandez, a refugee who fled communist Cuba with his parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Democrats want to do is take donor money and buy nice things for themselves. AOC is a con artist,\u201d said GOP House candidate and businessman Anthony Constantino, who\u2019s running for outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik\u2019s 21st Congressional District seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in an actual communist country, where the people in charge lived like kings while everyone else waited in line for bread,\u201d Hernandez added. \u201cDonor or taxpayer money, they spend it like it\u2019s their own.\u201d<\/p>\n

AOC would be perfectly at home as one of the pigs in Orwell\u2019s \u201cAnimal Farm,\u201d the classic novel about how communists always hijack the revolution to set themselves up as the new elite.<\/p>\n
