Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will reportedly be celebrating New Year\u2019s on the warm beaches of Miami, Florida, as her home state of New York shelters amid the omicron surge.<\/p>\n<p>An exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/aoc-spotted-in-miami-beach-as-nyc-reports-record-covid-cases\/\">report<\/a> from <em>National Review<\/em>&nbsp;featured a maskless AOC enjoying a drink with her boyfriend outside of what is claimed to be a Miami Beach restaurant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cPhotos obtained by&nbsp;<span class=\"small_caps\">National Review<\/span>&nbsp;show Ocasio-Cortez seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a cocktail in one and checking her phone in another,\u201d said the report.<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, AOC has issued no comment about the report.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman\u2019s sighting in Miami Beach comes just as New York City had to scale back New Year\u2019s Eve celebrations due to the record number of coronavirus cases. As NBC New York <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/coronavirus\/ny-covid-cases-shatter-all-time-record-for-2nd-straight-day-with-74k-positives-as-omicron-stretches-hospitals\/3473045\/\">reported<\/a> on Thursday:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>New York smashed its single-day COVID case record for the second straight day Thursday, reporting at least 74,207 new positives as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/tag\/omicron-variant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">omicron surge<\/a>&nbsp;stretches hospitals further, according to the latest update from the governor\u2019s update.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, hospitalizations continue to climb. As recently as the second week of December, Gov. Kathy Hochul assured New Yorkers \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/coronavirus\/ny-hospitalizations-top-5500-for-1st-time-since-february-amid-wild-scramble-for-tests\/3468716\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this isn\u2019t March 2020 or even January 2021<\/a>,\u201d citing admissions totals well below January\u2019s peaks near 9,300.<\/p>\n<p>Statewide COVID hospitalizations have well more than doubled since then and now total 7,373, with Hochul adding another 606 to the mounting count on Thursday. That\u2019s the highest hospitalization total since Feb. 9 and fewer than 600 admissions shy of where the total stood exactly a year ago. It has risen 138% since Dec. 1.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>AOC\u2019s home city has been gripped with crisis, and while she enjoys the right to taste the freedom allotted by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, she could at least apologize to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for shaming him multiple times over his trip to Cancun during the Texas freeze earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Sen. Cruz had resigned back in January after helping gin up a violent insurrection that killed several people, he could\u2019ve taken his vacation in peace.
