Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attends Yankees Game Amid Government Shutdown
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was seen attending a New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium during a prolonged government shutdown. The game, which took place on a Sunday, saw the Yankees lose to the Miami Marlins after blowing a lead. Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York's 14th district, is a known Yankees fan and was photographed with fans during the event. Her attendance at the game has sparked criticism due to the ongoing government shutdown, which has left many federal employees without pay. Despite the shutdown, Ocasio-Cortez continues to receive her congressional salary.
