Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-CortezAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez'Drink water and don't be racist': Ocasio-Cortez gives Republicans upset over Vanity Fair outfit 'pointers' on how to look better OVERNIGHT ENERGY: Trump strips protections for Tongass forest, opening it to logging | Interior 'propaganda' video and tweets may violate ethics laws, experts say | Democrats see Green New Deal yielding gains despite GOP attacks Ocasio-Cortez says she doesn't plan on 'staying in the House forever' MORE (D-N.Y.) is firing back at conservatives online who criticized her this week for wearing designer clothing in a photoshoot for the December issue of Vanity Fair.

In the latest issue, for which the New York congresswoman isa cover star, Ocasio-Cortez dons designer clothing for the cover, as is custom, and in additional photos taken for the issue.

Though Ocasio-Cortez does not get to keep the clothes, she generated backlash online for the photoshoot from conservativeswho called her outover the expensive clothing and accused her of being hypocritical given her progressive platform.

I wonder what brand of socialism allows you to get a $14,000 suit for Vogue photoshoots. See you soon, Alexandria. Looking forward to dismantling your socialist agenda in my finest Macys clothes like normal working people. https://t.co/KT2olZHqbq

What a scam. And how can she suddenly afford $14,000 outfits. https://t.co/qXTdGGvJ8v

However, Ocasio-Cortez pushed back against the criticism not long after on Twitter on Thursday, writing: Republicans are Very Mad (again) about my appearance. This time theyre mad that I look good in borrowed clothes (again).

Listen, if Republicans want pointers on looking your best, Im happy to share. Tip #1: Drink water and dont be racist, she continued.

She also retweeted a post from Fox Newss Laura IngrahamLaura Anne Ingraham'Drink water and don't be racist': Ocasio-Cortez gives Republicans upset over Vanity Fair outfit 'pointers' on how to look better Trump calls Fox 'disappointing' for airing Obama speech Fox's Ingraham: 'Biden-COVID ticket' using 'virus panic button' to 'scare old people into voting' MORE that linked to a Fox News article with the head: AOC appears in Vanity Fair in outfits worth $14,000 to curse Trump out.

100 percent worth it, would do it again, she wrote in a series of tweets. (& I dont know if youve been in a photoshoot Laura, but you dont keep the clothes.)

The whole 'she wore clothes in a magazine, lets pretend theyre hers' gimmick is the classic Republican strategy of 'lets willfully act stupid, and if the public doesnt take our performative stupidity seriously then well claim bias.' GOP, get yourselves together. Its sad, she said.

This is not the first time Ocasio-Cortez has fielded heat fromconservativesfor her wardrobe choices.

She also knockedtheright-leaningNew York Post earlier this year after it published a story about a designer dress she wore during an appearanceThe View, saying then that the outletwas just mad that you can look good fighting for working families.

She also shot back at a journalist of the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner in 2018 after he said clothingshe wore on Capitol Hill didn't looklike that of a person who "struggles."
