Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced backlash when photographed in first-class during a flight to a Bernie Sanders rally, prompting critics to label her as hypocritical regarding her anti-inequality stance. The incident occurred on March 19 as she traveled from New York to Las Vegas, leading to comments from fellow politicians who noted her apparent disconnect from the values she espouses. This prompted discussions about the consequences of such actions for her image as a progressive leader, especially while she calls for equality and community engagement in her rallies.
"Nothing says, 'Power to the people' like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class while tweeting about income inequality."
"Socialists are hypocrites. I'm surprised she didn't take a private jet like most of her comrades."
"It's absolutely rich in hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is the operative word."
"We as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for our principles."
