Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostI have just spent the last 30 minutes digging into this, and so far what I have found is that all of the news stories I have chased are on right-leaning media outlets, and all of the ones I chased trace back to info wars. So it seems to me there are two possibilities: there is a vast left-wing conspiracy to bury this news - or there is a viral outbreak of fake news on the right.
Whichever it is, any story that traces back to Alex Jones is VERY low on my credibility list....
I looked up the blazer and it does look just like what she is wearing and it does cost around $2K
Here it is on one site:

Of course she could be wearing a cheap illegal knockoff instead which would be a whole other can of worms.

So she WAS wearing a $3,500 suit. Which means Carp's reluctance to accept the claim because it came from Alex Jones was a cop-out.
And IF she truly was just given the outfit for a photoshoot in a magazine that shows her posing with the "working class" common folk, then the magazine and Cortez is completely blind to what they are actually promoting in the shoot. The shoot is supposed to associate her with the working class, but by wearing a $3500 suit, she is not only appearing to be hypocritical, but to actually be mocking them. Pretty sure the "workers" were just models too.
So utter fail.

If she was older, they'd criticise her for being old.
Since she's young they criticise her for being young.
The only way the right-wing media wouldn't be making mountains out of molehills about her is if she was mainstream conservative.
That's my take at least.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
