AOC campaign dropped BIG bucks on the luxury life while she slammed gentrification in Puerto Rico

Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is living true to Democrat form, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.

For starters, filings that detail Q3 expenditures from AOC’s campaign committee show payments for two luxury hotels in San Juan.

“On July 28, AOC’s campaign forked over $680.52 to Hotel Palacio Provincial, followed by subsequent payments to the hotel on Aug. 29, for $1,507.26, and Sept. 29, for $9,440.79. A $3,861.20 payment also went to Hotel El Convento on Aug. 25, which owns the Hotel Palacio Provincial property as well. In total, AOC’s Q3 filings show she spent $15,489.77 on lodging alone in Puerto Rico,” Fox News Digital reported.

But that’s not all, AOC’s campaign also spent $10,743.13 for “catering” and “meals” at high-end restaurants in Puerto Rico, according to the same filings.

More from Fox:

In two separate payments on June 24 and Aug. 25, AOC’s campaign also spent more than $23,000 on “Venue Rental” at the Coliseo De Puerto Rico, which is where Bad Bunny held multiple concerts as part of his “Residency” tour, including on Aug. 10, the day that AOC attended his concert. Fox News Digital could not confirm whether the payments were for multiple visits or whether a down payment was made and the final payment was paid later by the campaign.

All in all, AOC’s campaign spent nearly $50,000 between June and September on hotels and meals, and $23,000 on the “venue rental” where she was spotted dancing the night away at a Bad Bunny concert.

In August, AOC visited a Puerto Rican housing complex to slam gentrification but was later spotted with Dem New York Rep. Nydia Velázquez in what appeared to be box seats at the Bad Bunny concert.

AOC is no stranger to the high life, nor hypocrisy, as she was notably called out for flying first class during her “anti-Oligarchy” tour with multi-millionaire socialist Bernie Sanders.

She also reportedly enjoyed luxury hotels during that tour:

As for the latest filings, Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben, AOC’s campaign manager, is brushing it off.

AOC “regularly travels to Puerto Rico to support local causes and host events that require both staff and security,” he told Fox News Digital.

“She is deeply proud of her investment in grassroots organizing and will continue to be active in advocating for both people on the island and the millions of Puerto Ricans in the diaspora,” Hidalgo-Wohlleben said.
