Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was pictured vacationing in Florida, National Review reported.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez was spotted drinking cocktails outside of a restaurant in Miami Beach on Thursday while New York City reported a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/coronavirus\/times-square-nye-is-on-mayor-says-as-nyc-reports-highest-single-day-case-total-yet\/3472744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">record high number<\/a> of COVID-19 cases, National Review <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/aoc-spotted-in-miami-beach-as-nyc-reports-record-covid-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>. Ocasio-Cortez represents New York\u2019s 14th congressional district, which includes parts of the Bronx and Queens.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman\u2019s appearance in Florida drew commentary because she has criticized leaders for fleeing disasters in the past. In February, when Texas experienced harsh winter weather that left many without power and water, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz visited Canc\u00fan, Mexico, which Ocasio-Cortez publicly condemned.<\/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,\u201d she&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aoc\/status\/1362456773504958467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweeted<\/a>&nbsp;at the time. \u201cTexans should continue to demand his resignation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTed, 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,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC\/status\/1377658797703958536?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweeted<\/a> months later in response to a post by Cruz. \u201cAlso you funded cages, expanded cages, and yet you\u2019re complaining about cages. You have no policy, just puff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sighting gained attention on social media with many journalists and politicians commenting on the move. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/30\/washington-dc-remote-school-teachers-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: DC Mayor Criticized For Announcing Expectation That Schools Will Transition To Virtual Learning)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AOC<\/a>\u2019s New York state of mind clearly doesn\u2019t mind being in the free state of Florida\u2026mask free of course. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/G8S5JlrndO\">https:\/\/t.co\/G8S5JlrndO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeanette M.
