Faced with criticism, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has once again resorted to accusing her critics of desiring her sexually.
This tactic, long used by her to avoid being challenged or held accountable, was deployed by the congresswoman Friday after her conservative critics flagged a photo of her and her boyfriend dining unmasked in the alleged hellscape that is Florida.
The photo went viral because of the typical Democrat hypocrisy that it displayed. After all, the Democrat Party is the party of mask “Karens,” vaccine “Karens” and, of course, Florida haters who act as if the GOP-led state is a wasteland.
But instead of acting in good faith and acknowledging the poor optics of her “Livin’ la Vida Loca” in Florida, the congresswoman predictably resorted to turning the issue into one of Republicans allegedly being upset over not being able to date her.
She even brought the media into the story by claiming that it’s irresponsible for them to write stories based on the criticism that Republicans have of her, never mind if the criticism is 100 percent valid.
Look:
If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.
Ya creepy weirdos https://t.co/Z7bZCgXpWJ

It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women,& LGBT+ people in general.
These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 31, 2021
The fact that these people are so creepy/weird yet are also the ones responsible for shaping the NEWS HEADLINES we all see in media should be really concerning.
I don’t even want to know what knuckle-dragging thoughts these people have all day while covering women in politics

Notice how the first tweet, the one in which she accused Republicans of “projecting their sexual frustrations onto” her boyfriend’s feet, was written in response to a tweet that former Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes had written.
“1. If Leftists like AOC actually thought mandates and masking worked, they wouldn’t be frolicking in free FL. 2. Her guy is showing his gross pale male feet in public (not at a pool/beach) with hideous sandals. O for 2…,” his tweet read.
In fairness to the congresswoman, it was probably ill-advised for Cortes to remark on her boyfriend’s “gross male pale feet” instead of sticking to the issue at hand.
Nevertheless, countless other Republicans had criticized the congresswoman without resorting to such commentary.
Here are just a few examples:
I guess “fruity cocktails in Florida” constitutes a “public health emergency” for @AOC: pic.twitter.com/wTJW97KuQU

While @AOC‘s constituents are dealing with lockdowns, mandates, and masks, she is living it up in Florida with no lockdowns, no mandates, and no masks.

Florida is so dangerous & scary that AOC decided to go on vacation in Miami this week 🌞 You know it’s a free state when even a Democrat can enjoy cocktails without being forced to show her papers or wear a mask 🐊

So now @AOC is vacationing in my great home state of Florida – interesting!
I guess she enjoys the freedom-loving utopia of Florida over her mandate-ridden New York!

Such criticism was also delivered on Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” where contributor Jimmy Failla rightly noted that the congresswoman’s behavior is just another in a long list of liberal Democrat elites behaving hypocritically amid the pandemic.
“Nothing about what AOC is doing surprises me, because nobody pushing these public health initiatives is adhering to any of them,” he said.
“That is the part that has caused them to lose the locker room and taken us to the precipice of the place where Americans are fighting each other harder than we are fighting the pandemic. It really is shameful,” he added.
He wasn’t wrong.

“It’s embarrassing because the headline everywhere in the country should be that deaths are down dramatically from this omicron variant. We should lead from a place of confidence with this variant. Yes, it’s more contagious, but yes, deaths are way down,” he continued.
These fear-mongering headlines, Failla added, have made it so that in New York City, COVID zealots on the subway “are more upset with the guy not wearing a mask than the guy who’s not wearing any pants.”
“It is not supposed to work that way,” Failla said.
Indeed it’s not, and that’s the point. But it seems that the congresswoman purposefully ignored all this valid criticism so that she could use Cortes’ tweet to portray all of her critics as nothing more than “creepy” people with “knuckle-dragging thoughts” that should be ignored by the press.
It was admittedly a clever strategy — one that certainly worked with her base.
It did not, however, work with those who knew better:

“You just want to have sex me” is potentially the filthiest, most immature response I’ve ever heard uttered from an elected official that is facing critique.
She’s quite literally creating a Republican sexual fantasy about herself. #AocMeltdown https://t.co/u3AGcomtJh— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) December 31, 2021
Ewww! You’re literally being called out for your blatant hypocrisy and you’re making it about dating you or having sex with you? Only screwing involved here is what you’re doing to your constituents. They live by mandates in NYC as you are free and liberated in Florida. Sick! https://t.co/JScXkJpUZ5
