NEW YORK — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could get a dressing down for the high fashion “Tax the Rich” frock that she wore to the 2021 Met Gala.
Ocasio-Cortez did not pay for the custom-made white Brother Vellies gown — emblazoned with the anti-capitalist slogan in red — until nearly six months later, according to an 18-page House Ethics Committee report published Thursday.
The delay could land her afoul of congressional rules and federal law on elected officials accepting gifts.
