New York Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted in Miami Beach, Florida this week dining outdoors with a companion and without a mask.

Ocasio-Cortez is a staunch supporter of masks and vaccine mandates and New York City has the some of the harshest mandates.
Unless proof of vaccination is required, New York has a statewide indoor mask mandate and for public transportation, excluding private residences and includes children as young as 2 years old.
New York City Democrat Mayor-elect Eric Adams plans to keep the city’s private-sector vaccine mandate implemented under outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio, the first such mandate in the country.
Critics of Ocasio-Cortez commented on social media.
Why was AOC just caught maskless in Florida drinking martinis while her constituents in NYC suffer oppressive mandates and skyrocketing cases?

Florida is so dangerous & scary that AOC decided to go on vacation in Miami this week ? You know it’s a free state when even a Democrat can enjoy cocktails without being forced to show her papers or wear a mask ?

First Nancy, now AOC is vacationing in FL? The left sure loves their freedom despite constantly trying to take away yours. #AOCLovesDeSantis

We’re glad AOC is enjoying the Sunshine State. Hopefully she will learn a thing or two about the importance of freedom!https://t.co/5E4kYoyToZ

The hypocrisy of Ocasio-Cortez going maskless in the Sunshine State speaks volumes since Florida does not follow in the footsteps of New York City over COVID protocols.
