Conservative Crybabies Are Losing It Over This Video Of A Young Female Politician Dancing

Never dance if you want to be a politician, I guess.

Well, a video of beloved left-wing US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has leaked, and this could be the end for her. Except it isn’t, because the video just shows her happily dancing with friends on a rooftop. It’s actually pretty endearing, if anything.

The video was filmed while Ocasio-Cortez was at college (she’s now 29, and is famously the youngest woman ever elected to US Congress). It’s a thirty-second clip of her dancing, recreating one of the scenes in The Breakfast Club

The anonymous Twitter account that released the video described it as showing her “acting like the clueless nitwit she is”, but honestly, just watch it:

How anyone thought that was going to ruin Ocasio-Cortez’s career is beyond us. In actual fact, it seems to have made people like her even more.

Things didn’t go too well the last time someone tried to shame Ocasio-Cortez either. Back in November, someone tweeted a picture of Ocasio-Cortez walking down a hallway and captioned it “I’ll tell you something: that jacket and coat don’t look like a girl who struggles.” The tweet was widely mocked.

As many people have pointed out, in an era where tapes exist of the President of the United States bragging about sexually assaulting women, it’d be truly ridiculous for a delightful, wholesome dance video to bring someone down.
