Ocasio-Cortez, 29, posted an Instagram story on Monday that chronicled the first time she used the device in her new Washington D.C. pad.
“This DC apartment is bougie and has things I’ve never seen before. Like what is a garbage disposal really for,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in the caption.
“Is this what social mobility is? Using kitchen appliances you never saw growing up?”
