Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits back with Congress dance video

The youngest US Congresswoman in history posts a video of herself dancing to Edwin Starr’s War outside her office after an attempt to humiliate her on Twitter backfired, instead prompting an outpouring of support.

'I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous,' she wrote on Twitter 'Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too!' However, the original video was posted by a Twitter user called AnonymousQ who does not necessarily represent the Republican party

Whoever thinks that a 20 year old dancing is so scandalous must have been really fun at parties

[elanhunter]

So she’s a politician with an actual personality..? Lol how is that humiliating? Someone who is human is who you want representing humans...

[Fajah]

At least she can dance, the jealous ones probably have Arthritis

[stripes]

How is that even humiliating? She's being a human being...

[Whatisthis]

These are the type of politicians that we need in this world, young and energetic people who can get stuff done while still having fun, we don't need a bunch of 70/80 year olds running the country who don't know how to have fun

She danced on a rooftop in college?

Despicable!

Certainly not dignified and refined like our First lady!

She only does lingirie shoots!

[thedankatheist]

If the only dirt you can find on someone is a video of her dancing in college... You have no dirt.

[purplemonkeyelephant]

Dancing = Low Intelligence? Salty haters everywhere 😁

[inouyde]

Human young person has fun in college... HOW DARE SHE?

[ASTRA]

How is that an embarrassment? She's gorgeous and I would've loved to dance with her.

[DylanSargesson]

She looks hella fine in that video, so I don't see how anybody would see sharing it as an attack on her.

[stevenpaplan]

AOCs hot. Also able to pull that look and wear less make up than our current president

[LRBA]

Joyful, strong, intelligent young woman. Hope she continues to fight hard.

[zeusmc.]

Girl dances, nobody cares except a couple of trolls, the media reports their is a storm, the masses lap it up.

[Sana_a]

When you win the primary a second time

[novadelicart]

Aoc is an amazing women. Of course she will have haters. Strong brown women aren’t supposed to make it right?

[erikarice]

Republicans don’t care if she dances, we care if she can do math.

[shakespearebears]

So who exactly are these conservatives who were outraged by her dancing? As far as I can tell, it was some anonymous Twitter troll.
