Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened herself up to some criticism recently when she posed for a photo wearing thousands of dollars of designer clothes and shoes.
Here’s the shot they’re going to use on her mix CD:

And he she is calling out Charlie Kirk for making an issue of her wardrobe.
a) The alt-right doesn’t seem to understand the concept of magazine shoots
b) You don’t get to keep the clothes, duh
c) I don’t “pretend” to fight for a Living Wage & Medicare for All. I do it.
d) Get used to me slaying lewks because I am an excellent thrift shopper pic.twitter.com/Nd2m6WoCxF

Those two can have each other, but now Twitter owns the phrase, “slaying lewks,” something Ocasio-Cortez says to get used to.

Pardon me, I speak Entitled Millennial.
*speaks in loud voice for Boomers*
She is saying we should get used to her wearing expensive clothing that looks good on her.
So socialist! Much serious! https://t.co/cxU22g0Mwh

We are both tragically unhip, it would seem.

Lewks must be another word for credibility because that's all she's slaying. https://t.co/xvC9wUOlbc

I am so glad I don't know what this means https://t.co/w4NCScTInx

A lewk is a small, wool-bearing animal from New Zealand. They burrow in cone-shaped hidey-holes called "lewk nooks" and are prized not for their wool but their luxuriant skin. Obviously, Ocasio-Cortez is bragging that she slays them for their fashion value.

On a lewk-hunt, or "sorry not safari", its customary to bring along extra pumpkin spice for a quick pick-me-up in case you start not to even.

What the hell did Lewks ever do to her?
— BT (@back_ttys) September 16, 2018
I got busted slaying lewks in a big raid in Chicago back in '37. Did a nickel. Nowadays you slay lewks in the open and nobody does a thing.
— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) September 16, 2018
if I had a quarter for every lewk I've slayed I'd have zero quarters and this same pair of camouflage cargo shorts I bought 19 years ago.
— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) September 16, 2018
She's not even in office yet and she's already slaying. She really is a socialist. https://t.co/o1lCif9RwZ

Update:
Excellent follow-up question:
Oh, so does that mean your boy Bernie Sanders has to return the $600k Summer home to Architectural Digest? https://t.co/LAsWGrjrlu
