“Barely a week goes by without her publicly raging against billionaires, and saying they shouldn’t be allowed to exist alongside poverty in America,” Morgan wrote.

“So you would imagine that Ocasio-Cortez would view something like New York’s annual Met Gala as the very epitome of revoltingly immoral and unequal capitalist excess, attended by the wealthiest and most famous people in the U.S. all showing off how rich they are in an orgy of lavishly over-the-top indulgence,” he added. “Wrong. It turns out young Alexandria was so desperate to be there, partying with the world’s most privileged people, that she overruled her own anti-corruption lawyer’s warning not to go as a guest of Vogue magazine.”

“Only, being a good socialist, she didn’t want to pay for her $35,000 ticket, or another one for her boyfriend. No, she wanted $70,000 worth of freebies, and later lied about who gave them to her,” he claimed.

The Post earlier reported AOC got her staff to “haggle down the costs of all her VIP trimmings.”

Morgan noted she wore, “with comical irony,” a dress that had the words “Tax the Rich” emblazoned on it.

“The one common theme of all these two-faced Democratic miscreants is that they invariably escape the venom of self-righteous opprobrium that THEY would rain down on Republicans’ heads if it were the other way around,” Morgan wrote.

“That’s the beauty of being a liberal hypocrite: Your fellow liberals will never call you out on it! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knows this, which is why she thinks she can constantly get away with it, and is so breathtakingly shameless about doing so. When it comes to ‘rules for thee, not for me,’ AOC is queen bee.”
