Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) cosplay as a professional celeb and fashion icon moonlighting as a serious politician, we have decided we won&#8217;t report on her antics as part of the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>\u2018s political coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, we will continue to cover AOC&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/socialist-tesla-whole-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parking habits<\/a>&nbsp;and other aspects of her social life as part of our Entertainment, Fashion, Fantasy, and Young Adult sections.&nbsp;Our reason is simple: AOC&#8217;s seat in Congress is a sideshow. We won&#8217;t take the bait by pretending otherwise in an effort to appear &#8220;objective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like many of her Democratic colleagues elected during the Trump era, AOC&nbsp;is less interested in representing her constituents as a legislator than she is in relishing the trappings of power and celebrity. She just wants to be photographed wearing a &#8220;Tax the Rich&#8221; dress at the Met Gala, whereas Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) just wants to sleep with consultants and break up other people&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/after-funneling-half-a-million-dollars-to-her-political-consultant-ilhan-omar-marries-him\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marriages<\/a>, and Rep.

His actions in recent years have sent a clear message to younger generations that being a politician is only worthwhile as a means to accumulate wealth and <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/guest-column-obama-birthday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hang out with famous people<\/a>. It&#8217;s a lesson AOC has taken to heart, which is why the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> will continue to cover her exploits as a content creator, cover girl, social media influencer, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/illegal-testa-parking-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicular scofflaw<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/coronavirus\/busted-habitual-parking-violator-aoc-shuns-pelosis-mask-mandate-puts-lives-at-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anti-masker<\/a>, and person who wears clothes to parties\u2014just not as a politician.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in what AOC does (and who she wears) in her free time, you&#8217;ll find it next to our stories on <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/hillary-clinton-hot-girl-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hot summer lewks<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/taylor-lorenz-birthday-celeb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teen birthday parties<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/the-juggalo-cult\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juggalos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yours eternally,<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> staff<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Satire All future reporting on the socialist celeb will appear exclusively in our Entertainment, Fashion, Fantasy, and Young Adult sections  Washington Free Beacon Staff \u2022 September &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-751714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
