Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a swift response for conservatives criticizing her for selling a \u201cTax the Rich\u201d sweatshirt for $58. The price was right, the leftwing New York Democrat said, because the campaign merchandise was made by unionised workers in the US rather than in China, unlike political wear sold by, for example, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd by the way: Tax the Rich.\u201d Ocasio-Cortez added on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Shapiro, a podcast host, author and successful conservative gadfly, tweeted of the merchandise sold on ocasiocortez.com: \u201cOnly the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor $27,\u201d Shapiro tweeted over of a picture of a shirt featuring the words \u201cstudent debt\u201d struck out, \u201cyou can buy AOC\u2019s bullshit T-shirt rather than spending it paying off loans you voluntarily took\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporters who bought the shirt, Shapiro argued, would still have student debt and would still be \u201cbearing it alone, since you\u2019ll still be paying down that student debt. You\u2019ll just be $27 poorer and AOC\u2019s war chest will be $27 richer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATTENTION: Cet article laisse presque sous-entendre que la vente des articles dans le magasin de AOC sont de simples transactions commerciales. En fait la vente des articles dans le magasin de AOC est consideree comme une activite de financement electoral. Et dans ce contexte, la vente de ces produits est reserve aux citoyens americains et\/ou detenteurs d’une carte verte(resident). Lire les conditions attaches a ces ventes. AOC et les Progressisstes ne se financent qu’avec des souscriptions populaires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
