AOC spent over $53K in campaign funds on luxury hotels in 2025: 'Carpetbagger'
This is performative politics again.
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continued spending campaign cash in Puerto Rico, including at an upscale hotel in the territory's capital despite being slammed last year for spending lavishly there on meals, lodging and entertainment while simultaneously railing against gentrification in San Juan.
The final year-end campaign finance reports ahead of the November midterms were released this past weekend. AOC's Q4 report revealed she spent close to $4,000 more at the Hotel Palacio Provincial in San Juan, after she came under fire for spending thousands of campaign dollars there in Q3. AOC's spending during Q3 also included tens of thousands of dollars for fancy dinners and a "venue rental" at the same San Juan arena where the congresswoman was spotted dancing in a suite at a Bad Bunny concert in August, amounting to nearly $50,000 spent in Puerto Rico across one reporting period.
AOC's Q4 spending report for the final months of 2025 follows a similar pattern as the previous quarters, with disbursement records denoting thousands of dollars going towards four-star and five-star hotel accommodations and fancy dining. In total, in 2025, AOC spent roughly $53,500 on these luxury and "boutique" hotels.
AOC's use of campaign dollars in 2025 also included upscale dining at restaurants where meals are easily $100 per person, such as a sushi restaurant in New York City with a $150 14-course tasting menu, a seafood restaurant on the Las Vegas strip, and a fancy San Juan restaurant where cocktails eclipse $20.

"What better way to 'fight the oligarchy' than to use campaign funds on luxury hotels," quipped Republican campaign strategist Mark Bednar, who has worked for lawmakers like former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy when he was in Congress. "If AOC has plans to follow through on presidential ambitions, she will need to explain to voters how her campaign spending squares with her campaign rhetoric."
When asked if AOC thought she needed to explain her campaign spending on luxurious hotels during 2025, the congresswoman's representatives did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Many of the luxury hotels AOC spent thousands on in 2025 were not far from her home district, pointed out Daniel Turner, who is from Queens but eventually left. He is a longtime political communications strategist and is the founder of Power The Future, an energy-focused nonprofit. Much of his family still remains in Queens. …
