Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) turned what was intended to be a slam against her on its head Friday, ripping a former senior Donald Trump campaign adviser and other Republican foes as creepy weirdos.
Steve Cortes (who left his job just weeks ago as a commentator on right-wing Newsmax) slammed Ocasio-Cortez and boyfriend Riley Roberts in a tweet for daring to travel for a holiday break to Florida, where masking isnt mandatory.
Then in a bizarre bonus slam about the photo that Cortes had posted of the couple, reportedly dining outdoors in Miami Beach, Cortes criticized Roberts for showing his gross pale male feet ... with hideous sandals.

I saw some clown yesterday say she shouldnt take a vacation while 44,000 people in New York test positive for Covid. They actually compared her to Ted Cruz.
