Funny how being a hypocrite always comes back to haunt you. That happens to those with the biggest of mouths, if you truly don't stand behind your own words.
Talks a great game to gain favor from the public - but when time to put her money where her mouth is - she literally runs.

Ocasio-Cortez runs when asked if she'll forego salary during shutdown
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said lawmakers should refuse to get paid during the partial government shutdown but she won’t say if that rule applies to her.
As the New York Post reports, when asked Thursday about receiving her congressional salary, the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist apparently had other things on her mind, running down a Capitol Hill hallway and telling the reporter, “I’ve gotta run!”
It was on social media in December that Ocasio-Cortez castigated members of Congress for accepting a salary when some members of the public have to do without.
“It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision,” Ocasio-Cortez insisted in a Dec. 22 post, when the partial shutdown began. “Have some integrity.”
The salary for a member of Congress is $174,000 a year.
