Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined the chorus of Democrats railing against “billionaire donors” and moneyed influence in elections on Saturday, attacking South Bend mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg over a recent “wine cave” fundraiser held in his honor in California’s wine country.
There’s just one problem with Ocasio-Cortez’s newfound hatred of the wealthy and elite: like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who also eschews “billionaire donors,” Ocasio-Cortez has taken money from mega-donors, including Buttigieg’s competition for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Tom Steyer.
