NEW: Socialist Squad Sykes Joined Jasmine Crockett and Ilhan Omar at 5-Star Luxury Resort in the Virgin Islands
New reporting highlights that Emilia Sykes was once again hobnobbing with her Socialist Squad, this time at a “glitzy” 5-star luxury beachfront resort in the Virgin Islands.
“Extreme Emilia Sykes would rather lounge on the beach with her Socialist Squad friends talking about their ‘money mindset’ than fight for Ohio families. Sykes has made it crystal clear: she stands with the Socialist Squad, not Ohio.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
Earlier this year, Sykes set up a joint fundraising fund with Jasmine Crockett.
Plus, Sykes sided with fellow Socialist Squad Members, Jasmine Crockett, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, by voting AGAINST condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

‘Squad’ Member Enjoy Donor-Funded Resort Weekend in Virgin Islands

A group of left-wing congresswomen enjoyed some fun in the sun during a glitzy junket to the U.S. Virgin Islands in June—with donors picking up the check—records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.
Among the attendees of the “Women’s Retreat Weekend” at the Westin St. Thomas Beach were OG squad members like Reps. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.), as well as rising progressive stars like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas).
A flyer for the event also shows Reps. Yvette Clarke (D., N.Y.), Valerie Foushee (D., N.C.), Lucy McBath (D., Ga.), and Emilia Sykes (D., Ohio) as attendees, though representatives for Foushee told the Free Beacon she did not ultimately make the trip.

Most of the women on the trip represent safely blue seats in the House of Representatives, but Sykes hails from a swing district that encompasses the industrial Akron area. She faced criticism in the past for launching a joint fundraising committee with Crockett just weeks after the Texas congresswoman made fun of Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) for being in a wheelchair.
Her campaign donors picked up the tab for her trip and for a $2,000 bill at the Buoy Haus beach resort—where caviar runs $175 per ounce—just down the road from the Westin at Frenchman’s Reef. McBath stayed there for about the same price, having her donors take care of the check.
Tickets to the weekend-long experience cost a cool $5,000, which included fine dining, gift bags, and on-site yoga, photos show.
Attendees also watched a presentation from the “Freedom Chaser Club,” an organization led by local life coach Nichole Knight, who sells branded merchandise on her website.

The ladies of summer returned to D.C. later that month, where they all promptly voted against a measure condemning recent riots in Los Angeles.
Representatives for each of the congresswomen aside from Foushee did not respond to Free Beacon requests for comment.
