NYTimes | Recently, Interview magazine published a conversation between the actress Kerry Washington and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
accompanied by photographs of the young politician wearing a fitted
blazer with wide lapels and green piping; a slim, matching set of
trousers; and an elegant pair of black stilettos from Manolo Blahnik,
the total cost for which was somewhere around $3,500.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez needs the center-left —
surely emboldened by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s primary victory last week —
to warm to her, to imagine that she isn’t going to tear down the
castles. How terrifying can someone dressed as though she had just left a
meeting with six venture capitalists with a rare bottle of scotch
really be to the occupants of the higher tax brackets?
When
the castigating got traction, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez shot back at her
critics, pointing out the obvious — that she did not buy the clothes she
wore for the shoot. They were lent to the magazine for the purpose of
taking pictures.
