AOC Likely Broke House Rules with MET Gala Gifts

A watchdog group now claims that Alexandria Ocasio Cortez may have broken house rules with the thousands of dollars of gifts she received alongside her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.

As you may recall, this was the $35,000 per ticket even where Cortez wore her infamous ‘Tax The Rich’ dress.

The report is currently being investigated by the Office of Congressional Ethics.

According to USA Today, “Ocasio-Cortez was provided with the dress, a handbag, shoes and jewelry for the event, according to a report from the Office of Congressional Ethics. She also received hair, makeup and transportation services as well as the use of a hotel room for the event.”

The report adds that, “Investigators said that if the office hadn’t opened the inquiry, “it appears that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez may not have paid for several thousands of dollars’ worth of goods and services provided to her.”

Ocasio-Cortez is pleading ignorance in this situation, stating that a campaign staffer handled the matter and not her. She also told the office “there was a ball that was dropped,” calling the situation “deeply regrettable.”
