In yet another shocking discovery proving that Democrats are living lavishly on the taxpayer’s dime, the Department of Government Oversight and Ethics (DOGE) has uncovered a $1,200 per month expense in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional records—for a leased Mercedes-Benz.
That’s right, folks. While hard-working Americans are out there driving sensible, American-made trucks (or at least Ford Fusions with missing hubcaps), AOC is cruising around in a luxury German vehicle—presumably while sipping an oat milk latte and laughing at capitalism.
The Shocking Truth
According to the audit, the monthly payments have been ongoing for over a year, raising questions about whether Congressional expense accounts are being used for extravagant personal luxuries. Was she using it for posh cocktail parties? Chauffeuring around her squad of socialist comrades? Perhaps even—dare we say it—meeting secretly with George Soros to plan the next gas stove ban?
Republican lawmakers immediately pounced on the revelation. Senator Joe Barron (R-KY) called for an immediate ethics probe, stating:
“The American people deserve better than this. If AOC wants to drive a fancy European car, she can pay for it herself—just like I pay for my truck. With my campaign funds. Which is totally different.”
The Ridiculous Justification
After hours of public outcry, AOC finally responded, and her excuse? Well, let’s just say it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bleeding-heart socialist.
According to her office, she uses the car to deliver DoorDash orders in her spare time. But not for extra cash—for charity.
“Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez regularly takes DoorDash deliveries to underserved communities and donates all the proceeds to food banks,” said her spokesperson, Art Tubolls. “The Benz was the safest, most fuel-efficient option for this important work.”
That’s right. While your average DoorDash driver is out there hustling in a 2012 Toyota Corolla held together by duct tape and hope, AOC is out there rolling up to deliver burritos in a luxury sedan—for charity.
Of Course, It’s Fine Now
Naturally, once the charity angle was introduced, all outrage magically disappeared. Media outlets began praising her selflessness while Twitter filled with blue-check activists applauding her “sacrifice.”
“She’s using her privilege for good,” tweeted one fan. “We should ALL be driving luxury cars for charity.”
Meanwhile, DOGE has announced no further action will be taken, proving once again that Democrats can get away with anything as long as they slap a heartwarming excuse on it.
So while AOC keeps delivering tofu bowls in a Mercedes-Benz, the rest of America will just have to keep working hard and paying taxes to fund the next socialist luxury expense.
God Bless America.
