AOC Spotted Wearing Hijab For Muslim Event

I thought Democrats condemned cultural appropriation?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted wearing a hijab during a Muslim event in New York City.

AOC, who is not Muslim, wore the hijab while giving a speech at an event to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice).

Take a look:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — tied the holiday’s themes of sacrifice and charity to his political ideology.

“Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden,” he posted on X. “It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.

“I am honored to be New York City’s first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.”

The Post Millennial reported Mamdani has recently advocated for property owned by “bad” landlords in New York City to be seized and redistributed:

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced plans to seize buildings away from their owners and place them under new ownership in a plan that he has called “block by block.” He will also classify homelessness as a “housing problem.”

Mamdani told a crowd of supporters on Tuesday, “When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers.”

“For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves,” he added.

The “block by block” program, according to the mayor’s office, will involve the building of 200,000 “new affordable homes” in the city and spending $22 billion on housing in the Big Apple over the next five years. An additional 200,000 homes will also be made into rent-stabilized properties.

Here’s the moment Mamdani made the remarks that sound like something from Stalin’s playbook:
