Open socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will apparently be celebrating New Year’s on the warm beaches of Miami, Florida, as her house state of New york city shelters amid the omicron surge.
An exclusive report from National Evaluationincluded a maskless AOC taking pleasure in a drink with her partner beyond what is declared to be a Miami Beach restaurant.
“Photos acquired by National Evaluation show Ocasio-Cortez seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a cocktail in one and inspecting her phone in another,” said the report.
Since this writing, AOC has actually issued no comment about the report.
The congresswoman’s sighting in Miami Beach comes simply as New york city City had to downsize New Year’s Eve celebrations due to the record variety of coronavirus cases. As NBC New York City reported on Thursday:
New York smashed its single-day COVID case record for the second straight day Thursday, reporting at least 74,207 brand-new positives as the omicron risestretches hospitals even more, according to the current upgrade from the governor’s update.
On the other hand, hospitalizations continue to climb up. As just recently as the second week of December, Gov. Kathy Hochul assured New Yorkers “this isn’t March 2020 and even January 2021,” pointing out admissions overalls well listed below January’s peaks near 9,300.
Statewide COVID hospitalizations have well more than doubled ever since and now overall 7,373, with Hochul adding another 606 to the mounting depend on Thursday. That’s the highest hospitalization overall given that Feb. 9 and less than 600 admissions shy of where the total stood precisely a year earlier. It has actually increased 138% given that Dec. 1.
AOC’s home city has actually been grasped with crisis, and while she enjoys the right to taste the liberty allocated by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, she might at least ask forgiveness to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for shaming him several times over his trip to Cancun during the Texas freeze previously this year.
“If Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after assisting gin up a violent insurrection that eliminated a number of people, he might’ve taken his trip in peace. Texans must continue to demand his resignation,” she tweeted in February.

After Ted Cruz took a shot at AOC during his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech, the congresswoman kept pushing the point: “I do not care what Cruz said at CPAC, but I do care that it appears Texas was simply a layover stop for him between Cancun and Orlando to drop a pack of water into someone’s trunk and desert his constituents again as they get knocked with $16,000 electrical expenses,” she tweeted.

AOC continued this attack on Ted Cruz well into April of this year:
Ted, this is quite abundant originating from someone who left their own home (and responsibilities) during an ecological crisis to cross the border and seek sanctuary in Mexico.
Also you moneyed cages, expanded cages, and yet you’re grumbling about cages. You have no policy, just puff. https://t.co/0MI8oU0EtQ

The hashtag #AOCLovesDeSantis started trending on Twitter Thursday night.
Florida is so harmful & frightening that AOC decided to go on getaway in Miami this week You know it’s a totally free state when even a Democrat can take pleasure in mixed drinks without being required to reveal her documents or wear a mask

I thought Florida was a waste land of COVID and AOC would never ever leave her constituents to suffer and pass away back in her home state. She offered Ted Cruz enough shit for something similar!#AOCLovesDeSantis! .?.!! https://t.co/dS37FOElrC– Nada Pro(@NadaPro2)December 31, 2021
