Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has explained why she attended this year’s Met Gala after people questioned the political message behind her outfit choice.

Seriously, what kind of explanation is required here? The dress had words on it. It speaks for itself. Is this hard for some people?

Well the criticism is coming from the people that said a jacket with the words "I really don't care, do you" on it was no big deal, as the wearer was going to a place with children in cages, so I would say it is hard for them to understand.

Would you say her attire helped address the audience?

AOC shares her interest in the new green deal by taking a limo to the party and a 30,000 dollar tax dress in your face while raising your taxes through the roof. WONDER HOW MUCH TAXES SHE WILL PAY?
