Ocasio Cortez Diet
Dec 07, 2020 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Republicans in 2020, 'You can either accept defeat and have unity with us. Or you can have war.' Ocasio-Cortez also wrote about cutting down on dairy, which she noted helped with her skin. (Studies have shown a link between milk and acne in some individuals.) When a follower struggling to ditch dairy asked her about how much dairy she consumes, the 29-year-old politician responded, “FIRST of all, do not police your eating.”.
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched a new set of merchandise on her campaign website on Wednesday.
The set included three T-shirts and one navy blue sweatshirt with the slogan 'Tax the Rich' written across the chest in bold white letters.
With a hefty price tag of $58 a pop, many took to Twitter to ridicule the Democratic representative. The sweatshirt was originally listed at $65 but has since been discounted.
'At $58.00 for a sweatshirt, you're not taxing the rich, you're overcharging the stupid,' said Darryl K in a December 2 tweet replying to Ocasio-Cortez.

'Nothing says 'I fight for the little guy' like charging $65 for a sweatshirt,' wrote Daniel Tobin.

The representative noted that countries, like Sweden, already had a 70 percent tax on those with an income above $10 million.
The slogan 'tax the rich' comes from progressive Democrats' proposal to increase taxes on top earners in the country to pay for social programs.
Others claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, who has repeatedly been called a socialist by conservatives for her progressive beliefs, was using capitalist tactics to sell her agenda.
'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hypocritical trash. Women, wake up. Using Capitalism to sell Socialism is PEAK 2020 Democratic Energy,' said Twitter user Letsgetkraken.

'I have seen it all from IDIOT Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! I am sure people are lining up for your RAGS,' wrote Les_Med.

— 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 (@Les__Med) December 3, 2020The Democratic representative confirmed in a December 2 tweet that all her merchandise was ethically produced, which could be the cause of the sweatshirt's high price point.
'As always, made in the U.S. with dignified, union jobs paying living wages,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a reply to the listed merch.
According to Ocasio-Cortez's campaign website, '100% of our products are proudly made in the USA and union printed.' However, purchases made on the site contribute to Ocasio-Cortez's campaign.
Others also took to Twitter to argue in support of the representative claiming that the hefty price was the standard for ethically made clothing in the U.S.
