Democratic politicians and the media have been critical of Gov. Ron DeSantis throughout the pandemic, claiming he’s left Florida a deathtrap with his response. Of course, that isn’t true, but that hasn’t stopped them from saying it. It also hasn’t stopped folks like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) from fleeing her city while there’s a record number of COVID cases and living it up in the freedom of Florida with her boyfriend.
National Review reports that AOC was seen outside Doraku Sushi in Miami Beach, raising a glass and looking at her phone.

AOC from her city would need to have a vaccine passport in order to be allowed to eat in a restaurant. In the past week, people were being tossed out of restaurants for not having their papers and arrested if they didn’t leave. There are almost 44,000 cases in New York City of COVID. The city reports that more than 20 percent and 30 percent respectively of the paramedics and police are currently out of work.
The news of AOC’s getaway immediately caused a reaction on social media given the hypocrisy of it all. AOCLovesDeSantis was a trending hashtag. Others noted AOC’s reaction back in February when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took a trip to Cancun during a power crisis in the state, AOC attacked him with nasty and false accusations. “If Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after helping gin up a violent insurrection that killed several people, he could’ve taken his vacation in peace,” she tweeted then. “Texans should continue to demand his resignation.” She continued to bat at him even two months later, “Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico.” Of course, AOC is not exactly rowing with both oars all the time, such as when she accused Cruz of trying to have her murdered. Now that she is facing the opposite, how does AOC feel? Her office was contacted but they weren’t for talking or offering much of an explanation of her hypocrisy.
You could see that the DeSantis crew was very pleased with their reactions.

“Welcome to Florida, AOC!” the Team DeSantis account tweeted. “We hope you’re enjoying a taste of freedom here in the Sunshine State thanks to @RonDeSantisFL’s leadership. P.S. P.S. We highly recommend the Rock Shrimp Roll or the Aoki Tai the next time that you dine out in Miami. Cheers!”
DeSantis’ spokesperson Christina Pushaw got in on the fun, “Florida is so dangerous & scary that AOC decided to go on vacation in Miami this week…You know it’s a free state when even a Democrat can enjoy cocktails without being forced to show her papers or wear a mask…”
“Imagine the stunning bravery it took for her to enter the hellscape dominated by the iron fist of Deathsantis,” Ben Shapiro tweeted.
The disparity was highlighted by this one, where school children were forced to eat outdoors in the freezing cold.

Is that why there hasn’t been the same media response to Ted Cruz’s case? Or is it that they only like to falsely attack Republicans but won’t apply the same standard to Democrats like AOC? But this shows that what Democrats say about Florida they don’t believe if they’re fleeing to the state to party and have a good time. Sure doesn’t look like the death scape that Democrats try to suggest it is. AOC seems to be giving DeSantis, Florida, her endorsement. It is clear that Florida is an amazing place.
