After far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez railed hard against “farting cows” and beef, she was caught at dinner with a staffer who was eating a juicy hamburger.
Ocasio-Cortez was widely mocked for her attack on “farting cows” in her Green New Deal, but she doubled down on her stance last week on Showtime’s “Desus & Mero” late-night show.
The self-identified socialist explained that she wanted to “take a look at” factory farming and went on to suggest against eating beef.
“But it’s to say, ‘listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real,’” Ocasio-Cortez said.

But apparently the socialist’s own staff doesn’t follow her advice.
On Tuesday, conservatives on Twitter began circulating a photo of Ocasio-Cortez at dinner with a hamburger-clutching staffer. Fox News identified Ocasio-Cortez’ companion as her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. The restaurant was unidentified.

Instead of addressing the blatant hypocrisy here, Twitter liberals, including Ocasio-Cortez herself, had a meltdown and slammed the photo as “creepy.”
The conservative obsession with AOC manifests itself in the strangest ways. This creep-shot thread is really something. https://t.co/ExHHgoALQv

Tonight a dude was creepily (and obviously) taking a picture of me while pretending he wasn’t and I had to break his imaginary fourth wall and say “Hi! I’m a person! This is weird!” https://t.co/JnybvVubVh

But the representative’s complaints would have more weight if liberals applied them to their own supporters.
Does this show hypocrisy by Ocasio-Cortez supporters?
In fact, the whole outcry just proves the left’s hypocrisy even further because they’re known to ambush politicians in restaurants while their representatives cheer it on.
In comparison, a simple photograph is harmless.
As conservative journalist Caleb Hull pointed out, the left has “endorsed confronting people in the Trump administration anywhere in public and has run them out of restaurants repeatedly.”
My dude your party literally endorsed confronting people in the Trump administration anywhere in public and has run them out of restaurants repeatedly. I think you can handle someone sending me a pic of her COS eating a hamburger after she told the country to eat less of them.

Sometimes the conservative outrage toward Ocasio-Cortez gets a bit out of hand, such as the “controversy” over an old video of her dancing.
But this instance isn’t misplaced outrage. Ocasio-Cortez wants to control what Americans eat and disrupt an important industry in rural America, but her own staffer is unwilling to comply with her advice.
So you think a powerful politician who is trying to impose her will on Americans and force them to make the food choices she wants shouldn’t have her hypocrisy pointed out? Interesting.

With many ridiculous far-left policy proposals, Ocasio-Cortez and her staff are following the old hypocritical liberal practice of “it’s good for thee, but not for me.”
