Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez livestreamed herself drinking wine and assembling IKEA furniture

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez livestreamed herself drinking wine and assembling IKEA furniture.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may be in Congress now, but her Wednesday nights still consist of some pretty normal stuff.

As BuzzFeed News' Vera Bergengruen pointed out on Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez spent her evening drinking wine, assembling IKEA furniture, and chatting about politics. The difference between the congresswoman and her constituents? More than 8,000 people tuned into an Instagram livestream to watch her do it.

Ocasio-Cortez's livestreams often attract attention, like when she discussed the fear of bringing children into a world affected by climate change. The Washington Post even wrote about her "2018 version of fireside chats," pointing out that her Instagram presence attracts new fans who find the videos relatable, as well as critics who take advantage of her laid back approach and latch onto any slipup they can find.

While the lawmaker's every utterance in Congress is quickly praised and torn apart by fans and detractors, the fact that thousands of people are eager to tune in and watch her make soup or munch on popcorn — while answering policy questions, of course — is probably a level of stardom no other legislator currently enjoys. Watch AOC discuss everything from President Trump's taxes to the Green New Deal to fruit snacks via Instagram, or watch a clip at Newsweek.

"I'm actually pretty impressed with AOC here. Because the two things I most want in a public official are: 1. The willingness to get drunk on camera. 2. The ability to assemble furniture.

If only she could dance. Then she would be perfect. Oh, wait. She can dance! OAC for Speaker of the House! Step aside, Nancy Pelosi."

LOL

I'd like to see her in a deeply R rated Hollywood movie, and not in D.C.

Bad guy: I crack open a Tab.
Bad guy: I put on some Duran Duran.
Bad guy: I play Robotron.

Bad guy: THAT’S why I love the OASIS! ‘Cause it’s just full of all these things, man,that people love. You know?I’m a businessman. I get it. But I gotta do my job.

Her popularity is from the free press from her critics - just as Trump had done. She isn’t worthy of attention, and giving it to her feeds the ego. She is a freshman representative in a dying state; while the media pretends she has power, Pelosi (the keeper of the purse) has made it clear she has none.

Her hate for this country is so intense it oozes out all over her face. Seriously. I’ve never in my life seen such an angry person. Spits venom. All. The. Time. Ugly ugly ugly.

But she’s so ignorant that she thinks we’re “scared” of her! Lol! Honey, we’re not afraid of you at all. We want you to keep up your spewage. It does nothing but help Trump2020! For that I thank you. Your crash and burn will be spectacular!

Because this is what is expected of her from her supporters, the snowflakes, metrosexuals, transgender, gay, lesbian, Latinos and all brown people invaders

Don’t know much about wine, but her choice of furnishings and quality is junk.

I hear there is a swiss army knife with a hex wrench...

I actually put her into my instagram feed. Just to hear her side amidst the rest of my channels. It’s getting annoying though. And the comments in her feed are 99.99% adoring echo-chamber. /gag

No she didn't. Her puppet masters do all the writing. They haven't figured out how to shut her mouth in public tho'.
