Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado appeared to mock New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her “Tax the Rich” dress.

AOC sparked outrage by wearing an expensive designer dress to the lavish Met Gala in New York City. Dresses are sometimes provided to stars as “gifts” while individual tickets to the event reportedly cost $30,000. Tables at the event began at $275,000.

An ethics complaint was reportedly filed against the outspoken socialist for receiving an “impermissible gift” and violating campaign finance laws. The Office of Congressional Ethics was expected to open an investigation.

Boebert posted a photo to social media wearing a similar-looking dress, but instead displayed the words “Let’s Go Brandon.”

“It’s not a phrase, it’s a movement! #LGB” the post read. The dress received a thumbs up from Trump.

Take a look:

The slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” went viral after an NBC reporter claimed a NASCAR crowd was chanting “Let’s go Brandon” in support of race winner Brandon Brown.

The crowd at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama was actually chanting, “F*** Joe Biden.”

Here’s a look at AOC’s “Tax the Rich” dress:

More from Western Journal:

The chant quickly spread across a wide variety of sporting events, ranging from college football games to the Major League Baseball playoffs and a New York Jets game.

The use of “Let’s Go Brandon” in white letters on the back of Boebert’s red dress appeared to mock Ocasio-Cortez and her “Tax the Rich” dress…

Actor Michael Rapaport jabbed Ocasio-Cortez for her fashion choice.

“Custom TAX THE RICH dress while at the most elitist event in the world. @aoc will soon be rich with a ginormous production deal from somewhere & done with Politics, guarantee it. Stop treating ANY of these people like celebrities they are public servants that work for US,” he wrote on Instagram.

Tiana Lowe, writing for the Examiner, said the event’s outfit was both in bad taste but also bad politics.

“And for AOC in particular, it’s an act of political suicide, not in terms of her own electoral fate (good luck explaining why you partied with the girlfriend of the richest man on the planet and Harvey Weinstein’s ex-wife!), but for the entire Democratic agenda,” she wrote.
