    Regardless of the “hypocrisy” that people think took place here. She had a message to say and she said it. Her politics speak for itself. She works round the clock. She took one night off, to attend an event that gathered lots of attention to a statement that she firmly believes in. Plus no one knows the logistics of the event. Did she get a free ticket? Maybe. She also collaborated with women of color for the “expensive” services and materials etc. so even if she paid for an expensive dress it went to a well deserved fashion designer. Thanks AOC ❤️

    Anyone who lives in her district, I am very interested in knowing how your lives have improved with AOC representing you. I know how her life has improved. A ticket to the Met Gala cost $35,000. The rest of us would not have access to the designer dress that she wore. She's gotten a raise since she's been in Congress already, now making $174k per year. My 2028, she will likely be a millionaire. How have the lives of her constituents improved? I know Amazon wanted to open a headquarters there, which would have brought many jobs to the area. She blocked that though, and the residents of Virginia are now benefiting instead.

    How about protesting the entire event? If AOC cared so much about the people and taxing the rich, put the money back where it can actually make a difference and not a costume institute.. Why not actually do your job and pass a law that does this?

    This is literally how America was founded by NOT wanting to be taxed, as all the founding fathers were rich men, and it’s been an on going protest our whole history. What better than a protest dress than one about taxing rich people AT a rich people event. We love to see it. ❤️

    This is the biggest act of "wokeness" I've ever seen. She's attending extravagant galas with rich people, with being all cosy inside, when they were blm protesters outside getting kicked out! She benefits of rich cultures. She wants to be "relateable" without having to actually face the struggles of it. She should bid off the ticket and given the money to charity of she actually cared.
