HUGE Scandal - AOC accused of dancing

[NewJeffCT]

I mean, this is HUGE! no, just kidding. Unless you're John Lithgow in Footloose, nobody really cares, do they?

When Republicans have lost the NY Post, you know it's bad.

We’re all bizarre — some of us are just better at hiding it from Twitter.

While Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was being sworn in as a congresswoman, social media was seeing a very different side of her — as footage of the freshman Bronx politician performing the dance from “The Breakfast Club” in her youth went viral online.

The clip appearing to show a young Ocasio-Cortez imitating Ally Sheedy’s moves from the iconic 1985 John Hughes flick was spread on Twitter by a critic calling it “High School video” of “America’s favorite commie know-it-all acting like the clueless nitwit she is.”

1. Well, that certainly turned on AnonymousQ, big time.

The comments on that twitter feed are 100% hilarious!

This will drive them crazy for all of her Congressional Career.

27. I was thinking that very same thing

all that MAGAt incels probably have the video on a loop - partly why it has 9 million views in a day.

3. Love that video

But I especially love the way that backfired on that asshole. Even John Scalzi made fun of them

5. I hope AOC dances like that with every vote she casts against MAGAbilly Prime.

"You kids, with your dancing and antifascism!"

I took that video of AOC dancing and turned it into an ad for Medicare For All with a catchy theme song.

Replying to @AnonymousQ1776

Like Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, I also danced in high school.

I eventually went to Congress.

While there, I served on the House Judiciary Committee during Nixon’s impeachment hearings.

America remembers my tenure in Congress far more than my dancing.

20. if that's the worst she did in college

she's about as wholesome as you can get, I would think.

[jcgoldie]

21. Kudos for the footloose analogy!

Fits this situation perfectly!

Not unlike the photos taken yesterday of Nancy surrounded by a bunch of happy kids from all shades of the rainbow superimposed with snarling Trump and his band of white angry bald guys in grey suits.... More and more discerning the good guys from the bad guys in Trump's America is like looking at the caricatures in a Disney movie.

[Takket]

23. Maybe I'm out of touch but...

Isn’t a college student dancing completely normal?

[NewJeffCT]

29. but, she was also having fun doing it

fun and dancing are a no-no.

[ck4829]

24. Dancing on rooftop-gate! The horror! The horror!

[wroberts189]

26. IMHO this backfired on them. BIG TIME

Continue to help us appeal to the young vote Dumb old party

[Bengus81]

28. Let's see a vid of Trump dancing when FAKE bone spurs doctor report got him out of VN.....

[berni_mccoy]

31. She has a joyful and beautiful spirit that makes the orcs go crazy.

I hope she shines the light brightly on them in Congress.

[liberalmuse]

32. They cut the original video.

And added cultural music that would incite the racists and make her appear “wanton”, but that most people who subscribe to reality would enjoy. Glad it backfired. They are so out of touch as this has made her even more popular or at the very least, has people thinking, “And...?”

[LongtimeAZDem]

33. May favorite version is "Kids in America" :D

34. She is so COOL!

The righties hate her! But who cares?

That was fun watching.

[StarryNite]

37. The repukes can't relate to happiness.

Even the young ones are soul dead old codgers. "Get off my lawn! Stay off the roof! Dancing is sinful!"

38. I love women dancing.
