No wonder Occasional Cortex is beloved by the elite — she's just like them, even though poorer, for now

Two ends of the same animal

The environmental hypocrisy of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez

The NYP is all over this fraudulent bit of fluff, detailing her lies about where she’s living, paying her boyfriend with campaign funds, using the very same plastic bags she claims are going to end the world in 12 years, etc., and here’s a small, telling fact:

Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign heavily relied on those combustible-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst campaign office.

She listed 1,049 transactions for Uber, Lyft, Juno and other car services, federal filings show. The campaign had 505 Uber expenses alone.

In all, Ocasio-Cortez spent $29,365.70 on those emissions-spewing vehicles, along with car and van rentals — even though her Queens HQ was a one-minute walk to the 7 train.

The campaign shelled out only $8,335.41 on 52 MetroCard transactions.

Ironically, the Uber-loving politician took a tough public stand against the conveyance after a New York City taxi driver committed suicide in February 2018.

“Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber,” she tweeted on March 21. “What was a living wage job now pays under minimum.”

Her campaign billed only seven rides in yellow cabs in a year and a half, federal filings show.
