Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed a member of her staff for not paying the "several thousands of dollars' worth of goods and services" for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.
The House Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) opened an investigation whether Ocasio-Cortez violated House rules by improperly accepting gifts at the Met Gala, but the congresswoman claimed she was unaware and proceeded to let a staff member take the blame.
While speaking to investigators, Ocasio-Cortez said that she was unaware of unpaid expenses related to the dress she wore and stylists that helped her get ready for the Met Gala in 2021. "I just never, ever, ever would have allowed that to happen knowing what I have learned," she said. "But I wasn't privy to the invoices, wasn't privy to the ones that had been sent," she added.

She thought Dems would rule forever and she
could do whatever she wanted and get away with it.
Reality is a bitch and AOC is being bitch slapped.

It’s always the lazy, good for nothing, stupid staffers.
Well, at least it is when it isn’t the lazy, good for nothing, stupid voters.

She should have said Trump did it. The media would eat that up.
