Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., (A)C) blamed a member of her staff for not paying the "several thousands of dollars worth of goods and services" for her attendance at the 2021 Met Gala.

First flag:  she didn't pay for the event's "gifts" until after being contacted as part of the investigation.

Second flag:  Rather than take responsibility, she blamed a staffer who no longer works for her (too convenient).

Third flag:  The staffer said the problem causing the delay in payment was she didn't have access to AOC's personal credit card to use for payment.

So, the staffer says they knew the stuff needed to be reimbursed, but AOC hadn't given her access to funds?  Who gives a staffer the duty to pay expenses and doesn't give them the personal and Congressional account info for doing that?

No matter who dropped the ball, AOC failed to make sure the items she received TWO YEARS AGO were paid for.  If she can't manage her own finances, why is she entrusted with Trillions of our tax dollars?

She must have missed the lecture on accounting in her econ classes.  If you're relying on others to keep all your finances straight, that's still your fault.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Sounds like how she runs our government. Who would have known an ivy league bartender given a job she has no clue how to do would end up where we are today.
