AOC flies first-class to Bernie Sanders’ ‘Fight Oligarchy’ rally as critics pan lefty pol for battling inequality one ‘mimosa at a time’

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed flying first-class to a Bernie Sanders event last month — with critics saying it shows how she battles inequality one “mimosa at a time.”

An incredulous passenger snapped AOC (D-NY) getting comfy in the roomy first-class cabin of JetBlue Flight 511 on March 19 that departed from JFK Airport in Queens for Las Vegas, where she spoke at a Sanders rally titled “Fighting Oligarchy.”

The next day, the equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade, Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe.

“Nothing says, ‘Power to the people’ like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class while tweeting about income inequality,” the flier who took the photo told The Post — claiming that AOC did not respond to friendly comments once she sat down. ...

So great.
How can she be expected to Fight the Oligarchy™️ without priority boarding, extra legroom, complimentary drinks & hot towels?

AOC being lifted up is a grand outcome for the GOP.  Nothing like the Democommies exalting a true communist to show what they have become.  Again, Democratic Socialism is semantics for COMMUNIST!!!!!

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

America may stink, but at least there's still first class for all the elites like Sandy.

AOC claims America is in a “downfall” claiming the country was not “built to last” and it “deserves to decline.”
“Ultimately it crumbles into this, a small cohort of incompetent people that create damage.”
