• Ocasio-Cortez, 28, donned a $1,990 Gabriela Hearst double-breasted blazer and $890 matching wool pants during a shoot for Interview magazine 
• The designer outfit, which was likely chosen by a stylist, was paired with $625 Manolo Blahnik pumps, bringing the ensemble's grand total to $3,505
• A breakdown of the cost of the outfit worn by Ocasio-Cortez was posted by Reddit user dragonslayergold on Thursday 
• 'Expensive tastes for a socialist,' the person captioned the image of Ocasio-Cortez, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America

Personally, I do not care what she wore. She does not affect me at all, just keep her quiet. Her voice is like that pesky fly near your ear at night, by itself benign but disturbing my peace

It's interesting. Those who advocate the most for socialism and wealth redistribution tend to live the most lavish life styles.

Another example of "do what I tell you, and I'm exempt."

Good irresponsible grief.  Thanks to shopping with discernment at thrift stores and estate/garage sales, my purchase-expenses for suit/shirt/tie/shoes that I wore at the last two functions that I attended were $22.75 and $18, respectively.  One suit was Jones New York; the other (I'm too lazy to get up to check) was on that level.  The foregoing is not to brag, but rather to illustrate how absolutely unnecessary it is to pay retail prices for clothing, let alone to patronize a designer.

 

There's nothing that a good tailor and dry-cleaner can't perfect.

She's practicing in advance for her career as a Congresswoman -- her policies on spending and on accepting gifts/bribes.

Nothing to see here, just more fake outrage from the right.

 

From the New York times:

 

'When the castigating got traction, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez shot back at her critics, pointing out the obvious — that she did not buy the clothes she wore for the shoot. They were lent to the magazine for the purpose of taking pictures. The suit she wore came from Gabriela Hearst, an Uruguayan designer, whose sensibilities are not hostile to the Ocasio-Cortez brand brand' https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/nyregion/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-outfit-designer-criticism.html

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

 

@Ocasio2018

 

 

 

US House candidate, NY-14

a) The alt-right doesn’t seem to understand the concept of magazine shoots b) You don’t get to keep the clothes, duh c) I don’t “pretend” to fight for a Living Wage & Medicare for All. I do it. d) Get used to me slaying lewks because I am an excellent thrift shopper

Well good on her for just pretending to have nice clothes.  But she will still go down in flames for her overall ignorance of civics and life, I predict.

She wants to spend $40 trillion on free Everything for all.

Jake Tapper asked her how she'd pay for it, and she babbled about "externalities."

I would like to know where he got the $40 trillion figure from, or maybe I do know but don't want to say so on a family friendly forum, such as this one😀

It has been outlined with her proposed “free stuff” such as education and healthcare.  Everything will be free for us.  Of course, our government will collapse within 5 years, and civil war will break out.  But at least we’ll have free college!

 

She plans to raise $2 trillion of the $40 trillion needed by raising taxes on the rich.  *smh*

You do understand that George Orwell was a committed socialist, right? And are you once again confusing democratic socialism for totalitarianism as practiced in the former Soviet Union?

I know George Orwell is a Pen Name. 

 

It was common for his books to be on the Curriculum, certainly was when I was at School.

 

He was against Totalitarianism, hence the reference points here.

It was the estimate from several left-wing institutes, according to Tapper himself.
