Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’ office congratulated the Democrat on getting a “taste of freedom”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), was seen finishing the year on sunny Florida. New York has rising coronavirus and other controversial government restrictions.
According to National Review, Ocasio Cortez was photographed outside the Doraku Sushi & Izakaya in Miami Beach on Thursday, with her companion.
The lawmaker’s trip coincides with New York reporting a record number of Covid cases on Thursday, with more than 74,000 added, a record for the state. New York City has also ordered thousands of police officers to return on duty, cancelling their time off as they deal with cops reporting sick from Covid.
This city is subject to some of the toughest anti-pandemic measures in the country. Eric Adams, who is the new Mayor of Philadelphia, stated this week that he intends to keep many of the controversial mandates in place. Ocasio-Cortez supports vaccine and mask mandates.
