How AOC and other congresswomen buy business wardrobes on a budget, from thrift shopping to CVS makeup. (via CNBCMakeIt)

as a congresswoman, according to the Congressional Research Services. But, that salary won't go into effect until she officially takes office in January 2021.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that in addition to thrift shopping, she also does "second hand online" shopping to help her buy clothes that would normally be out of her budget. Rep. Rashida Tlaib also shared a secret, saying that in addition to thrift shopping, she still wears some of her maternity clothes under her blazer.

MakeIt Wtf. Do you really think I want to hear about AOC’s wardrobe

MakeIt Hard hitting story!

MakeIt Omg those poor, underprivileged women have to buy their makeup at CVS?!?! 🙀 😒 No one feels sorry for them. They aren’t heroes.

MakeIt Is AOC part of AntifaTerrorists

MakeIt I think it’s time to find a new business network for my news. All weekend I’ve seen headlines like I’m reading People magazine. 🤮

MakeIt why is this news?

MakeIt Where else can you buy makeup?

MakeIt Such bold and investigative reporting. Looking forward to your next riveting story.

MakeIt A bag over her head might help AOC

MakeIt wait for the ccp or russian money

MakeIt CNBC stick to business and actual interesting articles about helping people in need-

MakeIt Next article: How Biden and his son Hunter buy their dentures on a budget. 🤣

MakeIt aoc是个垃圾

MakeIt She still dresses and acts like an uncouth bartender. Nothing notable here!

MakeIt Not interested

MakeIt Only if you put that energy, on holding Mitch McConnell accountable.

MakeIt Why does BSNBC continue to pollute my feed with this bullshit. No doubt that many would agree . . .

MakeIt Watch out these media PR campaign to sell these 'socialists' to us citizens

MakeIt Seriously, this is ‘newsworthy’? How women DRESS? Shame on CNBC. BeckyQuick Can you please get editors to STOP this kind of thing

MakeIt I mean, to be fair, this isn’t a totally out of the park article. It’s actually informative and it highlights the fact that women STILL have to try harder to be seen and heard and “looking good” is what gets them in the door. We’ve got a long way to go.

MakeIt Some kind of con game ? Pretending to be broke ? Lol not surprising

MakeIt Who cares what they wear, as long as they do they're jobs.

MakeIt How do congressmen buy their suits and ties on a budget? I mean, trump’s hair alone apparently cost 70,000. How do congressmen do it? Where do they shop? I’ve been dying to know where Jim jordan finds his wrinkly button downs.

MakeIt Now you are PR for DNC . Lol

MakeIt why CNBC is acting like a Tabloid magazine?

MakeIt What a really newsworthy article...ridiculous

MakeIt Time to unfollow .

MakeIt — crossed the line with this MakeIt promotion. You have always had a hidden agenda with your promotions now you have crossed the line promoting the Communist AOC. is deleted ... all right minded American should do the same.

MakeIt they earn 174K a year PLUS an expense budget . maybe they should try living on a 25 or 30 thousand dollar a year job. stop the crap

MakeIt How about the congressmen that shop 3-for-1 sales at JosABank?

MakeIt You should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing this article to happen. 🙄

MakeIt Poor pitiful socialist. Death to aoc

MakeIt I can't believe you think this is news.

MakeIt Why is this news? These people are our employees, they are not celebrities!

MakeIt Now talk about the Congressmen and what they’re wearing.

MakeIt how many days in a row are you posting this story. its nonsense. ives seen it as a new post every day this week

MakeIt $14000 👇

MakeIt Just watch AOC vs LOEFFLER , a progressive fighter for the people vs a billionaire grifter

MakeIt What does this have to do with government

MakeIt easy... influence peddling, campaign funds and in a few years, when they get wealthy on the government doll; more influence peddling graft

MakeIt This is a stupid and unnecessary story.

MakeIt CVS makeup is expensive. If she really wants people to think she’s frugal, get it at Ross

MakeIt If the media didn't focus on them it would be far cheaper. Men by 5 suits, 5 ties 5 shirts and have 25 outfits for the month. Nobody notices what they were wearing.

MakeIt Why is the media so obsessed with AOC's wardrobe and makeup? You'll never see an article like this about a male counterpart.

MakeIt M I S O G Y N Y

MakeIt She's a babe with a nice rack and should dress less conservative.

MakeIt Can we review the absolute mess that is mattgaetz next?

MakeIt This isnt news.

MakeIt Okay, but I really want to know how Mitch McConnell affords the make up to cover his demonic heritage.

MakeIt Cool. Where are the congressmen buying their clothes?

MakeIt OK. But they all still look like shit

MakeIt cc stockmarkettile

MakeIt Bullshit

MakeIt I’m pretty sure congresswomen have achieved more worth reporting than makeup and wardrobes on a budget. You all are part of the problem when this is what you consider “news”.

MakeIt Why would she be on a budget she makes 3 times more than the average American

MakeIt Wow. Hard hitting.

MakeIt Give me a break!

MakeIt 🖕 AOC

MakeIt What about women who are earning considerably less than $174,000? This story is insulting to hard working Americans! No wonder nothing gets done in DC...

MakeIt Why should congresswomen buy discount clothing? They make about $200,000 a year plus other gratuities. I don' believe your claim.

MakeIt What's wrong if you still stay a regular person it is better to be yourself and present your natural beauty why following others. By doing so your not capable of having your own thought. Beauty is what you define it but not what society define as beauty

MakeIt Maybe an article or two about the voter fraud affidavits, USPS whistleblowers? Nah, that would be real journalism!! This nicely reaffirms my decision to abandon CNBC

MakeIt Please CNBC, don’t think Americans are stupids

MakeIt

MakeIt Lol

MakeIt Who cares?

MakeIt

MakeIt This is first time I’ve seen a majority of conservatives and liberals agree on something in a while.

MakeIt In Nigeria, our lawmakers get wardrobe allowance. About 300% of their salary 🙄🙄

MakeIt Comunista que azco...

MakeIt Who planned this article? the big corporate sponsors ?

MakeIt So! They look good. 🎤

MakeIt

MakeIt Really?

MakeIt Pretending to be a broke ass to create false “for the people” narratives while setting up Super PACs with secret donors, shady “Justice Dems” financing, and unitemized donors for her campaign is what we should be working to uncover.

MakeIt Oh the struggle is real, GTFO

MakeIt Not news. Don't be so lazy.

MakeIt Particularly love this: And Rep. Jahana Hayes chimed in with additional support telling Bush to not overthink it, adding 'When people used to tell me what I needed for a Congressional wardrobe, my response was, 'I'm a Congresswoman—if I wear it, it's Congressional.''

MakeIt Who the fuck cares about this ?

MakeIt That $174,000 a year must not be enough. Free Dining, Parking, Housing, Staff, Gym use paid by tax payers at the Capital. Life Time Benefits. It's so rough working on Capital Hill.

MakeIt Getting ready for the economy when her socialism takes hold.

MakeIt Trump brags about how expensive his wardrobe is and gets cheered for it. Ladies at least shop at a department store.

MakeIt I await your next article on where congressmen shop.

MakeIt This is so unimportant to me.

MakeIt Are you her PR person? What the fuck is this? I’m not a fan of hers but this shit is beneath women in power. People aren’t looking to them for fashion advice a trope that sticks with any women in power. Do you ask senatemajldr about his budget ties?

MakeIt Wow. They’re like,...hero’s. God bless these brave warriors who shopped within their means.

MakeIt Trying to 'connect' with voters while making $174k/yr...I am sure it is difficult to find work clothes on that kind of budget.

MakeIt Hates capitalism, buys clothes from a billion dollar company. Make your own if your trying to prove a point but bargain wear from a giant well your dumber than we all thought (and the bar was low) AOC

MakeIt This is news? Fake news

MakeIt You know how many articles have been written on the shopping habits of male congressional members? Exactly zero. You should be embarrassed.

MakeIt And paying their significant others as “consultants” helps too

MakeIt As a congressperson they’ll make $174K annually and this article wants us to know how “hard” it is for them to shop for new clothes? 🙄🙄

MakeIt Damn good idea. You don’t have to be rich to look good.

MakeIt Are you serious!?

MakeIt How nobody cares

MakeIt Why no articles about congressmen’s fashion?

MakeIt cnbc and thats how you get blocked.

MakeIt She is d most vibrant politician in our country. Her energy and pure striving for righteousness exceeds an average possibility of such merit within a generic politician. AOC is a national treasure.❤

MakeIt Why are you talking about her clothes and makeup. Could you be more fucking sexist?

MakeIt The opening line of the article is important. “Running for office” is expensive. Once in $174,000 a year plus Member Representational Allowance! These people aren’t suffering.

MakeIt Why is this news?

MakeIt Promotion of socialism here. Thanks cnbc

MakeIt Spoiled alert....their taxpayer funded food and travel budget pays for it...

MakeIt Is this really news

MakeIt You guys in the media really won’t survive without trump. These fluff pieces is all you’ll have. The enemy of the people.

MakeIt you guys are better than this

MakeIt Real hero’s ! 🙄 give me a break.

MakeIt GMAFB

MakeIt Tacky article ... please have you nothing better to do than post about awoman’s wardrobe ? She always looks wellput together to me .

MakeIt Who gives a fuck about this . This is sexist af

MakeIt Really? How to make $174,000 per year last next on 'FU Peasants!'

MakeIt No one gives a ship

MakeIt Idc what anyone else says, a piece like this shows everyone how human and normal these ppl are. We get into political vitriol and forget that they are just ppl too; w/ the same issues as everyone else. It’s not a puff piece it’s a translation of humanness.

MakeIt

MakeIt Was this Jim Cramer’s idea?

MakeIt Give me a break. AOC doesn’t wear thrift shop.

MakeIt This lady makes upwards of 150-175k. Give me a break.

MakeIt Hahahaha sandy cortez is poor, right

MakeIt Please enjoy our weekly puff piece on AOC. Next up, AOC’s favorite socialist countries for spring breakers.

MakeIt Why do they heavy name brands tho? Especially when the mssg is to support local, rage against the system. I’m a progressive but Everytime I see her make statements as such it’s very hypocritical when this goes against the message of what they stand for... but hey what do I know!

MakeIt This socialist is an american hero? These articles are garbage. 🤮

MakeIt AOC is lying, she’s got tons of stolen campaign funds from very first election. She’s a fraud and one of above the law person.

MakeIt Thrift shopping?😂😂😂 They have so much time on hand?

MakeIt Wow both sexist and worthless and totally unrelated to business news. A trifecta. A triple crown of dumb.

MakeIt Well saw the same tweets.

MakeIt This is truly 'fake news'

MakeIt A $174,000 / year budget? Oh my!?!? How do they manage!?!? 🖕🏽

MakeIt Sexist much, CNBC?

MakeIt Why does this lady want us to believe she doesn't make 175k a year?

MakeIt She’s a millionaire a couple times over from special interest groups. Don’t wanna hear this BS so they can fake relate to the common man or women.

MakeIt She just did a photo shoot in a $14000 suit. So of the people

MakeIt This the best you guys got 🌹🌹🌹WE WON 🌹🌹🌹

MakeIt CNBC never misses a chance to add “AOC” into any tweet for clicks.

MakeIt Step 1: Use Taxpayer money

MakeIt DC rents are expensive
