Progressive champion and U.S. House Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was seen in Miami yesterday having drinks with her partner.

Typically, this wouldn’t be a big deal, but the top-ranking Democrat in the state, Nikki Fried, recently described Florida as being in “chaos.”

On top of that, New York City is ablaze with COVID cases right now, so it would seem that perhaps she should be in the city she represents and not on vacation.

Many progressives have also sworn off going to Florida until Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is out of office so it would also seem like a slap in the face to them.

Twitter user Kevin Dalton tweeted out the reported pictures and said, “Enjoying your vacation in mandateless Florida, then seeing that Twitter has seen you enjoying your vacation in mandateless Florida.”

On Wednesday, Fried had tweeted, “The chaos you’re seeing in Florida is all just a sacrifice we are being forced to make to get Ron DeSantis more airtime on Fox News.”

Journalist Stephen L Miller questioned the role of the mainstream media following the pictures being released.

“So I guess we’re doing that thing where we pretend not a single DC journo knew Ocasio-Cortez was heading out to zombie death land of Florida and just decided it would look bad to report that,” Miller suggested.

DeSantis has apparently been taking a break himself from public appearances over the holidays, which has led many on the left to ask where he is.

As Twitter user “Michael D” pointed out, “Perspective:Blue Twitter has spent all day criticizing Ron Desantis for being on vacation during a covid surge(even though he isn’t), and AOC really is on vacation.”

Twitter user “Photogenic Floridian” jested, “Apparently Congressional Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from NY has accepted the #WhereIsRon challenge and started searching South Beach in Miami, Florida for him.”

Progressives are trying their best to take the whole thing in stride, with some claiming that Ocasio-Cortez is only a NY representative, rather than a statewide elected official.

Others are suggesting that this isn’t the same as Texas U.S. Sen Ted Cruz leaving for Cancun earlier this year, although one could argue that Cruz had kids who needed to get away during that ice storm, while Ocasio-Cortez is there with just her partner.

Either way, this is a bad look for the sophomore representative who hails herself as an advocate for the people.
