The equivalent of Smokey the Bear being an arsonist

By now you've heard of the elitism and wokeness on display at Monday evening's Met Gala. 


Of all the vapid celebs in attendance, it was Tide Pod Evita herself who garnered significant attention. 





Yes, that's a gown containing the slogan "Tax the Rich." Y'see, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touts herself as a woman of the people, a young bartender who ascended to the hall of Congress to fight for the little guy. The irony here is she is basically a pawn for the rich elites she claims are the scourge of our country. I'll come back to that. 

For those who are expressing outrage over how a member of Congress could afford such a fancy gown, you're missing the point. No way did she purchase such a thing, rather it was likely a loaner from the garment's designer. And while a single ticket into this gala costs about $30,000, she was admitted for free. But where AOC is vulnerable for criticism here is the big name designers pay huge money to allow noteworthy figures like the Congresswoman to attend......and then said designers write it off as a business expense. So the very issue Rep. Ocasio-Cortez decries (i.e. unfavorable tax laws) is actually what she enabled on this night, all for an opportunity to demagogue. 

Oh, and another facet to which she's vulnerable? Mockery. 

For my money, this won Twitter. 

 



To be fair, AOC was far from the only elitist hypocrite who attended this swank gala. In fact, her display wasn't even the most egregious. 


In case you were wondering if we're still "all in this together" in the fight against COVID-19......

 




I can't say I'm familiar with the name Cara Delevingne, but......





Finally, this. I will neither confirm nor deny that I laughed to the point where a squirt of pee emerged.
