Few observers missed Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s interview and photoshoot last week in which the rising avowedly socialist New York congressional candidate wore a $3,500 suit and shoes while hobnobbing with construction workers. (Such are the perils of outspoken class warfarism; a thing like that tends to be noticed.)
While her detractors lambasted her as just another in a long line of collectivist hypocrites, supporters dismissed the criticism as petty. Ocasio-Cortez herself noted that the outfit she wore was, in fact, not hers, and had to be returned after the shoot.
