Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is granny sex orgasum videonow being accused of spending an average amount of money on her hair.
The Washington Times, a conservative daily paper, exposed Ocasio-Cortez's reasonably priced hair maintenance on Wednesday night. According to "sources familiar with the salon," the paper says, the congresswoman spent roughly $80 on a cut and $180 on lowlights at Last Tangle in Washington.
"The self-declared socialist, who regularly rails against the rich and complains about the cost of living inside the Beltway, spent nearly $300 on her hairdo at a pricey salon she frequents in downtown Washington," the Washington Times complained.

But $80 for a women's cut is the standard price in Washington, DC.
