AOC Rips 'Creepy Weirdo' Trump Adviser For Fixating On Boyfriend's Feet

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 isn’t 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.”

It’s a pet peeve of mine that is completely inexplicable.

I don’t know that I would have brought it up in this context though.

I wear flip flops (skimpier than sandals even) in the Summer and I've gotten comments that "they are for women" from from friends. I just shrug it off.

People here in SoCal eat most anywhere, most anytime in sandals. Many would be barefoot, along the coast at least, if there weren’t safety restrictions.

I don’t know why but it disgusts and repulses me. It makes me irrationally angry. 🤷‍♂️

not that you think it's inappropriate, just that you personally don't like to see it.
Got ya.

I wonder what the Latin name for hatred of sandals is?

Good grief

Do these people intend to be legislators or influencers?

There is nothing wrong with her clapping back on social media. These clowns need to be called out.

I saw some clown yesterday say she shouldn’t take a vacation while 44,000 people in New York test positive for Covid. They actually compared her to Ted Cruz.

Too pale alabaster to too dark of a tan.

The acceptable skin tones for repugs narrow even more

Is he imagining himself emulating Nixon in that one sad photo of him walking along the San Clemente, California beach in suit, tie, and wingtips?
