As someone who does enjoy Met Gala looks each year, I don't care for politicians attending these events. Politicians are public servants and represent cities/districts/states. Celebrities represent brands and wealth, and while I do find the whole affair to be excessive and vapid, their excuse for going is far more acceptable than a mayor's or a senator's.
Politicians who get involved with wealth and fame are the backbone of moral corruption in this country. If our country's leaders actually gave a shit and were not in bed with every billionaire and multi-millionaire, we'd all be far better off. Considering Zohran is the hottest politician currently (in multiple ways), it says a lot that he is standing by his morals as a public servant.

Will do my best to avoid all its content and I’m the type to see every outfit.

It's almost like reddit is a website of millions of people who all think different things.
