Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is being praised by the California media as the “political world’s rising superstar,” will speak on Tuesday at a fundraiser where people who want to see the card-carrying Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member will have to pay $2,700 for a seat.
As a nod to the people to whom she hopes to give free health care, housing, and a college education if she is elected to represent New York in the U.S. House of Representatives, some “friends” tickets are available for $50, according to the San Francisco Examiner:
[Ocasio-Cortez’s] popularity is so gangbusters, she won a primary race in June in a New York congressional district she wasn’t even running in as a write-in candidate, according to the New York Daily News.
Well, surprise surprise, her popularity extends all the way to the West Coast. Ocasio-Cortez has two fundraisers planned Tuesday in San Francisco’s Mission District, and both have sold out. One even sold out twice.
The first fundraiser the firebrand candidate will attend is a high-price affair at The Assembly, hosted by a who’s-who of local progressives including Supervisor Jane Kim, among a bevy of others. The tickets range from a “friend” seat at $50 to a “host” level seat at $2,700.
“Yowza. I felt my wallet shiver just typing that,” the reporter said in the story.
The newspaper reported Ocasio-Cortez would also appear at the El Rio bar at a San Francisco Progressive Alliance event, where tickets range from $10 to $250.

She could be the next Obama. She’s never done anything, has no idea about the real world or what she it talking about and the left and media have latched onto her and are working to enhance her celebrity, which is far more important to liberals than intelligence. Plus, she has racial and gender shields she can deploy every time she says of does something stupid.
She went where the $$$ is for liberals/commies: the far West coast.
The other day I watched her answer a question about her work history.
She was over 21 when her dad died.
She had, up til then, been doing unpaid intern “work.”
But, to help her mom, she took a waitressing job and later a bartender job.
No mention of how she ripped off her fellow wait staff when tips were divvied up at end-of-shift.
Seems, if dad had not died, she’d have had no real world work experience at all.
Anyone hear if here Dem opponent will be running as a write-in?
I’ve heard both yes & no.
Anytime you get a free thing it is worth exactly what you pay for it.
