NEWS AOC’s $250 hair salon trip stirs controversy
« on: October 10, 2019, 08:22:15 pm »
Squeaky Spice get a hair cut!   


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who’s waged war against the wealthy with a 70 percent tax rate proposal — shelled out more than $250 on a recent trip to the hair salon, according to a new report.

The socialist darling dropped big bucks — $80 on a haircut and $180 for lowlights — last month at Last Tangle Salon in downtown Washington, DC, the Washington Times reported, citing sources.

The outlet noted that a 20 percent tip, or $52, would bring the total to just over $312, while suggesting she could’ve saved about $100 for a chop at the “government-subsidized” Capitol Hill barbershop.

A salon staffer said Ocasio-Cortez was nice and even snapped selfies with customers.

Would or did? Did the bartender even leave a tip?

What the devil is a government subsidized barber shop???

Truthfully, I know that hair stylists are expensive and wouldn't think much about it...if she wasn't preaching austerity for everyone. She worked for Bernie didn't she?

I think that refers to the Congressional Hair Salon, just one of the many, many perks we pay for our "public servants" or rulers. I think there is a dry cleaner, a gym, and of course, dining options.

It is a division of the Senate "Post Office".

Thanks @austingirl .  I had no idea we are paying for those things.  Kinda crazy, if you add in the lifetime benefits and side hustles.
