New York business owner Scherie Murray criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for passing blame to an aide for thousands of dollars of unpaid expenses at the 2021 Met Gala.
"[AOC] just has a memory failure when it comes to the fact that this wasn't a charity event. She's not allowed to receive these tickets," Murray told host"Courtesy of Anna Wintour, her and her fiancee attended the Met Gala. She got her hair done. She got a complete wardrobe, including shoes. She got her makeup done and conveniently forgot to pay the bill."
Ocasio-Cortez claimed to be unaware of the unpaid expenses, saying she wasn’t"privy to the invoices." The staff member, who reportedly no longer works for her, took responsibility. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a dress that said"Tax the Rich" to the 2021 Met Gala, a popular sentiment among those on the left.
"I think the delay there for me was I didn't have access to her personal credit card at that moment," the staffer told House ethics investigators."First, the staff was tasked to pay. Then the staffer said that he'd never had her credit card. So there is some controversy here, and I'm happy to see that she's being held accountable," Murray said.
