Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic candidate who won her district's primary over a ten-term incumbent earlier this summer, was recently criticized for her sense of style.


Ocasio-Cortez is a very outspoken Democratic socialist, so when she was seen wearing an expensive outfit--the total retail cost of which was $4,100--Fox News saw an opening for a line of attack.

Katie Pavlich and Pete Hegseth on Fox and Friends threw some pretty intense shade:

"The rising star of the Democratic Party has expensive tastes for a socialist," they began.

"I mean I want a pair of $600 shoes. I think she should redistribute…hypocrisy at its best," said Pavlich.

"It's tough being a socialist. It really is," said Hegseth.

Also, Charlie Kirk--a well known conservative activist--called Ocasio-Cortez out over Twitter.

But all were missing one important point: why exactly was Ocasio-Cortez wearing this outfit?

For a photoshoot for Interview Magazine and a following interview/conversation with Scandal's Kerry Washington.

So...whoops.

But Ocasio-Cortez was quick to respond:

"Get used to me slaying lewks." Put that on our tombstone.

The internet is also providing points of support for the 28-year-old candidate.



And some people are really shaming her for complying with the magazine, as if she had a choice:

This guy seems to have missed the point completely:

But, thankfully, most people realize that Charlie Kirk is just tone deaf.



Kirk quickly pulled a typical conservative "What About"-ist move:

But...nobody is fooled.



Things are looking good, as Ocasio-Cortez only needs the support of the 14th district of New York to be elected to office. So look out everyone, a fiercely dressed socialist is likely headed to Congress in November!

Mamdani Speaks Out After Releasing 9/11 Records That Reveal NYC Officials Knew Air Around Ground Zero Was 'Toxic'

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke out after releasing more than 170,000 pages of undisclosed city records to the public ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks that prove city officials knew that the air was "toxic" around Ground Zero during recovery efforts.

Documents reviewed by the New York Times before their release indicate that asbestos concentrations in dust collected throughout the area exceeded hazardous thresholds in the days after the World Trade Center collapsed. Testing also found asbestos and other contaminants in the air and dust at levels considered unsafe.

Trump Slammed After Jokingly Lamenting That 9/11 Hero Is 'More Famous' Than He Is In Tone-Deaf Speech

After speaking during the “Steel Across America” event put on by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, President Donald Trump was criticized for lamenting that one hero of the September 11 terror attacks is "more famous" than him.

Trump was referring to Welles Crowther, an equities trader at Sandler O’Neill & Partners who was working in the South Tower on Sept. 11, 2001. Crowther, who became known for wearing a red bandana, helped evacuate people from the building and is credited with saving at least 18 lives before the tower collapsed.
