A verified Twitter account mocking Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has skyrocketed in followers and engagement over the last two days, with some help from Elon Musk. Twitter appeared to reinstate the once-banned account in May, with Musk soon interacting with it and boosting its following.
Twitter has promoted the parody account in other ways, too, including ranking it first in search results for “AOC,” above Ocasio-Cortez’s official account.
On Tuesday, the account garnered wide attention on the platform after the real Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility. It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread. I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.”

The fake account is smarter than the real one.
I understand the common people and how much they suffer …
Before I was a bartender … I was fired from the M&M plant for throwing out the Ws.
Some of these tweets are priceless!
The real thing is funnier than the parody.
Every time someone makes fun of AOC an angel gets its wings.
"I went to the beach this morning and the water was really low. I went back this evening and the water was really high.
This is 100% proof of global warming."
“I am assessing with my team how to move forward. “
Those lines ... they just hate free speech.
I’ll have to check it out. I recall a few years ago some little girl was impersonating AOC in her Twitter account. LITTLE girl ... She had to stop due to death threats.
This is truly one of the best accounts on Twitter right now. Brilliant and irreverent...plus the real AOC is melting down like the wicked witch of the west.
You left out the best part!
“In the meantime, be careful of what you see.”
Not “don’t believe everything you read” but “be careful what you see.”
What a little b*tch wannabe tyrant she is.
Exactly, I became a Twitter Follower of this account two days ago. It went viral almost immediately.
Yes, Minny AOC
There must be a hundred Trump parody accounts on Twitter and you never hear a peep about it.
Parody a Leftist darling however, and they all get their panties up in a twist.
It exploded after AOC whined about it, lol
