Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might have violated House rules with Met Gala gifts, watchdog says

AOC attended one of the fashion world's biggest nights wearing a Brother Vellies white dress with "Tax the Rich" written in large red letters

Newsroom March 5 09:01

A congressional watchdog says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might have violated House rules when she received gifts associated with her attendance at a prestigious fashion event in 2021.

The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended the House ethics committee continue investigating an allegation against the New York Democrat “because there is substantial reason to believe that she accepted impermissible gifts” associated with the Met Gala, according to a release Thursday from the agency.

In 2021, Ocasio-Cortez attended one of the fashion world’s biggest nights at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a Brother Vellies white dress with “Tax the Rich” written in large red letters on the backside.
