Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed a member of her staff for not paying the "several thousands of dollars' worth of goods and services" for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala. The House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) opened an investigation into whether Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, but the congresswoman claimed she was unaware and proceeded to let a staff member take the blame.
While speaking to investigators, Ocasio-Cortez said that she was unaware of unpaid expenses related to the dress she wore and stylists that helped her get ready for the Met Gala in 2021. "I just never, ever, ever would have

she has since paid the "Rental value" of the custom couture, one of a kind designer dress, made just for her....Uhmmm...did her millionaire boy-toy pay for his designer shoes and bowtie...or just return them?
The BIG problem is that she was used to living on tip-jar money, suddenly put into control of $millions, and just had "The Help" do everything, all she worried about was her next society page appearance(even when that was supposedly a News Show).

Her instincts for becoming a career politician are spot on. Screw up, blame somebody else and claim to be a paragon of perspicacity.

Yes! Yes - - it was those darn "staffers"!
My cousin's friend's car was sideswiped - - and of course - - it was done by a "staffer." And a month ago someone tried to cut in front of me on a Line at CVS - - and yes - - that was a "staffer" too.
You just can't trust a "staffer" - - they're always up to nothing good.

Her staff is learning a valuable lesson. When a representative messes up be prepared to be the one who gets pillered.

Was the Met Gala an official Congress related or election related fund raising event for AOC? If not, it was a personal event. As a personal event, there is no reason why a government paid , or campaign paid "staffer" should be responsible to have to deal with AOC's expenses related to the event. Staff is for Congressional or campaign related things. The Met Gala was neither of those things. Sure, AOC was there to make a political statement with her painted white designer dress and to be seen with her cool uber liberal friends. The bills are AOC
s responsibility and she is only mad that she got caught. Accept personal responsibility for something for once!

Iâm sure her âunderlingâ had nothing to do with it. I bet she couldnât show a shred of documentation where anyone other than herself was responsible, or even knowledgeable of what she was doing for herself.

My guess was that her boyfriend was from that bar she tended and was clueless about black tie and formal shoes. A millionaire? Seriously?

AOC certainly learned well from the women who went before her. As far as I know, Hillary still has outstanding bills from her 2016 campaign. No doubt AOC never had any intention of paying for that dress.

AOC, playing the blame game but losing. It is simply astounding that anyone would vote for this MORON!
