AOC labeled a hypocrite for flying FIRST CLASS from Texas to NYC on American Airlines

AOC was spotted flying from Austin to John F Kennedy International Airport in New York City in the first class of an American Airlines flight

Congresswoman AOC apparently dropped her socialist act when she swam in the luxury of a first-class seat. Last Sunday, February 13, AOC was spotted flying from Austin, Texas to John F Kennedy International Airport in New York City in the first class of an American Airlines flight. She was photographed while boarding flight AA1405 on a Boeing 737-800.

As reported by the New York Post, AOC was spotted by a fellow passenger when she was enjoying the comfort of the front row. AOC was wearing a large mask and a baseball cap which made the passenger say, "She was also pretty incognito."

The fellow passenger also said, "I don't sense anyone in first-class knew she was there or someone of her celebrity was there." An airline representative added, "They would have received the choice of sandwich with salad, side, dessert. Alcohol offerings are available complimentary." Apparently, a one-way first-class American Airlines flight from Austin to New York City during the weekend costs anywhere between $400 and $600. Economy flights are relatively cheaper at $300-$400. During this three-hour journey, AOC comfortably spent her time in a 21-inch wide seat. She also enjoyed the extra 7 inches of legroom that economy passengers do not get. Another core difference is economy passengers settle for snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, while those seated in first-class enjoy a full-blown dinner service. 

It looks like things are looking up for AOC as publicly she also moved with her family from the Bronx to Yorktown Heights in Westchester when she was five. A source who knows the socialist from her initial days as a politician said, "This is definitely different. Back then at least, AOC used to fly coach. There has definitely been a shift in her desires to enjoy the finer things in life.”

Another one of AOC's Democratic Congress members said, "She lives above a Whole Foods and drives a Tesla, so she probably feels more at home upfront." Nicole Malliotakis said, "AOC lives a luxury lifestyle while pushing radical policies that would force her constituents to live in squalor.”

A comment on Twitter read, "The thing about @AOC flying first class and being a bartender before is that Russia is about to launch the largest invasion of another country in Europe since WWII at the cost of possibly tens of thousands of lives."

Another questioned, "Why did millionaire AOC just fly first class to NYC when she has over $17K in student loan debt?"

This user said, "The same ones complaining that AOC is flying first class on a commercial flight were totally fine with Trump flying AF1 to and from Mar-a-Lardo (or another of his last golf club to line his pockets) every-single-weekend for years."
