Where’s AOC? Bernie Sanders’ new ‘Fight the Oligarchy’ tour is missing socialist sidekick

Bernie Sanders took his “Fighting the Oligarchy” tour back on the road this weekend, but there was one noticeable guest missing.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ name was nowhere to be found on the latest tour dates announced on social media Thursday by the socialist Vermont Senator.

The lefty pair made headlines when they rallied across the country this spring, fueling rumors of a future presidential run by the Bronx/Queens Congresswoman.

But it now looks like AOC might have to do without the private jets, at least for a little while.

Rising lefty star and new Squad member Greg Casar (D-Texas) is touring alongside Sanders instead.

“This fight is between the billionaires and everyone else. And we’re organizing everyone else,” Casar, who chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, posted on X Friday to promote rallies in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma this weekend.

It is unclear if AOC got the boot from Sanders, or if she simply bowed out.

“It’s the nature of the tour,” a spokesperson from Sanders’ campaign told The Post, refusing to elaborate.

Ocasio-Cortez’ campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

AOC faced backlash from socialists and others for flying first class and on private planes during the national tour. She was seen exiting a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to 7 million price tag, costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.

She was mocked online, with one photograph of her flying first-class to a Las Vegas rally in March going viral. A critic wisecracked how she was battling inequality one “mimosa at a time.”

The lawmaker also faced criticism in her own district, for ditching constituents — rescheduling a town hall after gallivanting across the country.

“Of course, it’s cancelled — too busy jet setting around on private jets screaming about ‘oligarchs’ and setting up her bid for a POTUS run,” decried Lauro Vazquez of Woodside, Queens.

“She will help if it gets her name on national issues,” said Jackson Heights’ Gloria Contreras. “She’s about her and getting worldwide attention while ignoring her constituents.”

Constituents have criticized AOC for missing in action at home.

The Post at the time reported that her district offices in the Bronx and Queens offered little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman gets to run them — one is only open a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones that go unanswered and constituents urged to discuss their problems “by appointment only.”

Since then, AOC, who claimed she was “very present,” has seemingly tried to be more focused on district issues, boasting on social media about hosting mobile office hours.

The tour aims to “have real discussions across America,” and take on “the oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country,” the official website for the campaign states.

The post Where’s AOC? Bernie Sanders’ new ‘Fight the Oligarchy’ tour is missing socialist sidekick appeared first on New York Post.
