Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she's just 'living in the world' after she was accused of spending over 3 times more on car services than subway
The popular New York Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fired back at her critics on Saturday night after she was called a hypocrite for promoting her Green New Deal despite spending thousands of dollars in ride-sharing apps.
Election filings revealed that AOC's campaign spent $29,365.70 on car services and $8,335.41 on subway fares despite her headquarters in Queens just a minute's walk from the subway.
The youngest Congresswoman in the US history hit back at the New York Post for releasing the figures, and said that she is just "living in the world". "I also fly and use A/C," she added in her tweet.
I also fly ✈️ & use A/C

Living in the world as it is isn’t an argument against working towards a better future.
The Green New Deal is about putting a LOT of people to work in developing new technologies, building new infrastructure, and getting us to 100% renewable energy. https://t.co/DZGE1WwLbn
