House Ethics Committee found Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez failed to pay full market value for items at the 2021 MET Gala, where she wore the Tax the Rich dress, requiring additional payments.

“Tax the Rich,” read the gown Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore to the 2021 Met Gala. But it’s the progressive New York Democrat that must pony up, the House Ethics Committee announced Friday. According to the bipartisan committee, Ocasio-Cortez didn’t pay fair market rate to borrow the dress, a violation of House rules.
