    AOC hit with ethics complaint over Met Gala attendance

    The American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a conservative watchdog group, has filed an ethics complaint against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over her attendance at the lavish Met Gala in New York City Monday night.

    What did she do?

    Ocasio-Cortez sparked a social media firestorm after she wore a white dress with the slogan “tax the rich” at the star-studded event, where tickets go for at least $30,000 each.

    What irony!

    The AAF’s complaint, obtained by Fox News, asks the Office of Congressional Ethics to “immediately open an investigation” into Ocasio-Cortez and whether she accepted an “impermissible gift” to attend the gala or violated any campaign finance laws.

    Most likely BOTH.

    “Without prompt investigation and enforcement of Congressional Rules, the American people are likely to lose faith in the ability of Congress to police its members,” the complaint says.

    Too late for that.  I think most people have already lost faith with congress… and the WH.

    The complaint states that since Ocasio-Cortez described her attendance at the Met Gala as part of her official duties, the “receipt of the gift” must fall under either the widely attended event or charity event exemptions as defined by the House rules.

    The AAF argues that the congresswoman’s invite fails on both exemptions, because the gala was not widely attended and because the invitations are overseen by Conde Nast, a for-profit company.

    Rules for thee, not for me?

    There’s nothing positive in the Met gala… i don’t understand why common people would defend it and/or idolatrize them.

    It’s a mix of The Purge with Hunger Games… with all the elitists showing off their money to the rest of the people who gotta live without freedom.

    The Masking of the Servant Class: Ugly COVID Images From the Met Gala Are Now Commonplace
    While AOC’s revolutionary and subversive socialist gown generated buzz, the normalization of maskless elites attended to by faceless servants is grotesque.

    From the start of the pandemic, political elites have been repeatedly caught exempting themselves from the restrictive rules they impose on the lives of those over whom they rule. Governors, mayors, ministers and Speakers of the House have been filmed violating their own COVID protocols in order to dine with their closest lobbyist-friends, enjoy a coddled hair styling in chic salons, or unwind after signing new lockdown and quarantine orders by sneaking away for a weekend getaway with the family. The trend became so widespread that ABC News gathered all the examples under the headline “Elected officials slammed for hypocrisy for not following own COVID-19 advice,” while Business Insider in May updated the reporting with this: “14 prominent Democrats stand accused of hypocrisy for ignoring COVID-19 restrictions they’re urging their constituents to obey.”

    Most of those transgressions were too flagrant to ignore and thus produced some degree of scandal and resentment for the political officials granting themselves such license. Dominant liberal culture is, if nothing else, fiercely rule-abiding: they get very upset when they see anyone defying decrees from authorities, even if the rule-breaker is the official who promulgated the directives for everyone else. Photos released last November of California Governor Gavin Newsom giggling maskless as he sat with other maskless state health officials celebrating the birthday of a powerful lobbyist — just one month after he told the public to “to keep your mask on in between bites” and while severe state-imposed restrictions were in place regarding leaving one’s home — caused a drop in popularity and helped fueled a recall initiative against him. Newsom and these other officials broke their own rules, and even among liberals who venerate their leaders as celebrities, rule-breaking is frowned upon.

    ——————————————————————————

    Even with all of this deceit and manipulation, there is something uniquely disturbing — creepy even — about becoming accustomed to seeing political and cultural elites wallowing in luxury without masks, while those paid small wages to serve them in various ways are forced to keep cloth over their faces. It is a powerful symbol of the growing rot at the core of America’s cultural and social balkanization: a maskless elite attended to by a permanently faceless servant class. The country’s workers have long been faceless in a figurative sense, and now, thanks to extremely selective application of decisively unscientific COVID restrictions, that condition has become literal.

    Gross Hollywood Hypocrites! Elites Mock Middle Class at Met Gala | Guest: Chrissie Mayr | 9/14/21

    The corrupt regime currently occupying the White House continues its descent into a full-blown authoritarian monarchy. Will these ghouls continue their power grab? Speaking of corruption, Gen. Milley reportedly tried to block president Trump’s access to nukes, and Nancy Pelosi pressured the Pentagon on safeguards to prevent Trump from ordering military action. If an acting general and speaker of the House collude to usurp power from a sitting president, isn’t that the definition of a coup? According to the Left, they were just trying to do what’s best for the country. NDAs are being used across the country to silence sex offenders while protecting predators. Now some are calling for a stop to this common legal practice. In studio, we’re joined by Chrissie Mayr, comedian and host of the Chrissie Mayr podcast to bring a little levity to this crazy world. Hollywood hypocrisy was on display at the Met Gala, where AOC wore a “Tax The Rich” dress to an event that costs $30,000 per ticket. It’s becoming clearer every day that these people don’t care about the common folk and in fact enjoy reminding everyone else that they’re the superior class.

    AOC steers millions to Saikat Chakrabarti. Do not think for one minute she is not making her friends and their companies rich.

    Me be careful what you wish for you are rich.

    Also AOC – Oh I won’t be paying more in taxes. Taxes for thee but not for me! RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

      The political elite are wolves who eat your children in front of you and tell you its ok because they are really sheep just like you. Half the people believe them and the other other half keep quiet out of fear of being eaten too.
