With love and appreciation… me”.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez recently came under fire for vacationing in Florida. She and her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, were photographed hanging together outside while not wearing masks – which abides by the CDC’s safety regulations. Her right-wing, Republican critics called her out for vacationing in Florida while her home state of New York has implemented restrictions due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. They also remarked about her boyfriends’ footwear.
“If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet,” she tweeted. “Ya creepy weirdos. It’s starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, & LGBT+ people in general. These people clearly need therapy, won’t do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It’s really weird.”
