Last night it was revealed by National Review that AOC had escaped the cold ravages of New York, where Omicron is surging and people are waiting in very long lines to be tested, to enjoy cocktails in the beautiful Florida sun:

Here’s a bit more from them:
“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…”
Team DeSantis quick jumped on it:
Welcome to Florida, AOC!
We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL’s leadership. https://t.co/AU0Khspu8P

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 🐊

MTG even got in on the action:
Aww @AOC this is so cute 🥰
Did your martini taste a bit hypocritical?
Don’t you just love the freedom Republicans give you in Florida?
No masks or vaccine mandates.
No stifling communist policies you constantly legislate & vote for.
Cheers to freedom!#AOCLovesDeSantis pic.twitter.com/8iRnyLynhp

Here’s a few more notable responses:
Reminder that when Ted Cruz went to Cancun during Texas energy crisis, AOC blasted him for "abandon[ing] his constituents" https://t.co/sSNFi2ICQm https://t.co/VNJLjpzpxe

#NY14 is on fire with #Omicron. As New Yorkers stand in lines at food banks and #Covid19 testing places, @AOC gets on a plane for a vacation in #SouthBeach amidst the ongoing and continuing uncontrolled #CoronavirusPandemic to hoist a few cosmos on Lincoln Road Mall. #Tourism https://t.co/jwYhxl8A1p pic.twitter.com/Gm9Xr9deYi

The folks that voted for @AOC have never been her "constituents." All she does is exploit their condition to push an agenda that supremely improves the lives of her college friends not the Bronx – because higher "minimum" wage & more welfare doesn't buy the life she's enjoying. https://t.co/FdOlMrmrSH

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.

And btw, AOC and all you Leftist covid fanatics — those whose virtue signaling authoritarian lockdown nonsense that has resulted in millions of lives destroyed — stay in your states and leave mine alone.

I should also point out that #AOCLovesDeSantis has been trending on Twitter since last night.
