Breaking: EXCLUSIVE: AOC Spotted in Miami Beach as NYC Reports Record Covid Cases
|
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted dining in Miami Beach, Fla. on Thursday, according to a tip received by National Review, on the same day that her native New York City reported a record number of Covid-19 cases.
Photos obtained by National Review show Ocasio-Cortez seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a cocktail in one and checking her phone in another.
Ocasio-Cortez's office did not respond to a request for comment.
The Florida outing comes as New York City reported a record number of new, confirmed cases of Covid-19 (almost 44,000). Ocasio-Cortez represents New York’s 14th congressional district, which covers parts of the Bronx and Queens.
Back in February, when Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) drew fire for taking a trip to Cancun, Mexico during a winter disaster in Texas that left millions without power or water, Ocasio-Cortez joined the pile on.
“If Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after helping gin up a violent insurrection that killed several people, he could've taken his vacation in peace,” she tweeted at the time. “Texans should continue to demand his resignation.”
After Cruz took shots at her later that month at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida, she wrote, "I don't care what Cruz said at CPAC, but I do care that it appears Texas was just a layover stop for him between Cancun and Orlando to drop a pack of water into someone's trunk and abandon his constituents again as they get slammed with $16,000 electrical bills."
The congresswoman was still harping on the trip two months later, tweeting during a feud with the senator in April: "Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico."
