"In the future, every politician will have a mildly-to-extremely embarrassing video of themselves unearthed from their past, on the internet," writes Samantha Cole at Motherboard, arguing "it's part of the territory of growing up online." Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should know: While the Democratic congresswoman from New York was sworn in Thursday, she was also going viral, thanks to an edited clip from a 2010 YouTube video showing Boston University students dancing to "Lisztomania" by Phoenix (apparently inspired by this Brat Pack mash-up). "Here is America's favorite commie know-it-all acting like the clueless nitwit she is," AnonymousQ1776 wrote in sharing the clip of Ocasio-Cortez dancing on a rooftop. It's been viewed more than 9 million times.
If the intention was to humiliate Ocasio-Cortez, it hasn't worked, reports the Guardian, which notes the praise she's been getting on social media. "Can't find the problem. She's... having fun? Has friends? Likes music?" tweeted Time national correspondent Charlotte Alter. "The more politicians we have like @AOC the sooner we'll all be dancing," added actor Russell Crowe, while Zach Braff said the video was "adorable and endearing and charming." Cole likewise sees nothing wrong with Ocasio-Cortez dancing. "It's not a scandalous video, or even embarrassing. It's arguably pretty well done," she writes. Per Time, creating dance mash-ups to "Lisztomania" became an international trend beginning in 2009, which Boston University made clear at the time. No word yet from Ocasio-Cortez, who was a little preoccupied Thursday.

We need to be sketching up an effective 2020 OpChaos plan for them Now.
Oh how cute.
Russell Crowe thinks he’s one of us.
Maybe she should concentrate on dancing.
Not guilty!
Her rack is ok not great. At least we found her redeeming quality.
Been voting for republicans most of my adult life, (I made the mistake of voting for Perot in my younger dumber days), but being a fan of the movie “The Breakfast Club”, I actually liked the video. I hate her for her politics, not some video.
that’s really bad
and I like degeneres because she is real/funny
plez don’t do that again
trying to get my eyesight back......
Now - that’s funny
This was another fully organized and choreographed event designed to raise AOC’s visibility in the U.S. as a whole and particularly directed at Bernie’s younger voters.
That’s scary!
The enraging undertone here is that they’re painting all conservatives as tightly strung Bible thumping anal retentives who want to take us back to small town 1940’s morality wise. It’s a liberal fascist dog whistle, if you listen.
That’s a pic that demands you hide yer apples!
