Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has confirmed that she tested positive for the coronavirus. That news drew a great deal of mockery and giddy celebration from her right-wing critics.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is triple vaccinated for Covid, released a statement through her office saying “she is experiencing symptoms and recovering at home.”
“The Congresswoman received her booster shot this fall,” the statement says, “and [she] encourages everyone to get their booster and follow all CDC guidance.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s diagnosis comes shortly after her vacation to Florida, where she was spotted partying without a mask on. It was during her trip to Florida that the congresswoman made recent headlines by snapping at Republicans and accusing them of attacking her as a projection of their “deranged sexual frustrations” about her.
As word of Ocasio-Cortez’s positive Covid test got around, some conservatives offered hopes for her recovery:
Wishing @AOC and everyone with Covid a quick recovery. Get vaccinated. Get a booster. The real risk of Omicron are to unvaccinated and those vaccinated who have gone six months without a booster. Takes 10 minutes. Choose life.

Get well, soon!

However, many right-wingers took a less graceful approach, delighting in the news and taking the opportunity to mock Ocasio-Cortez over her comments:
AOC, who is doubled vaccinated and boosted, tests positive for covid. She’ll be perfectly fine because she’s young and healthy, but she was just too hot for covid to resist. https://t.co/0M8oMkPG9K

AOC only got covid because covid is obsessed with her boyfriend’s feet https://t.co/7Pd46Yt8nW

AOC says she has COVID? …is this the same AOC who told us she was afraid of being raped and murdered when she was no where near where rioters were on January 6?

Prayers to AOC. Suffice to say this is the first time she got a positive result from taking a test.
