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.

The zealous media coverage of this moron is like a bad rash that just won’t go away.
Our government has come to this. When these things happen, I pray that Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Washington, etc., aren’t observing any of it. It would break their hearts.
methane burner?
Trump is no match next to this women.
I want to see if the Ikea furniture actually is used in her home or if it is tossed in the dumpster with her empty wine bottles and replaced with high end furniture.
Great advice General. In your career hope you were able to mentor some younger workers, and those who made it to the danger zone - feeling invincible - mid-career.
There is something wrong with politicians who think people want to spend their precious minutes of life watching them live-stream, go to the dentist or build furniture. There is something more concerning with their sycophants who watch this stuff. Besides ...would any of them consider how burning energy to power all their devices to display their self-centered behavior contributes to the “destruction of the planet”?
I like how she positioned the recording device lower than her face, so she had to speak down to us.
Moronic media whore, much?
I can’t imagine what the average IQ of the audience of this female Pee Wee Herman wannabe must be.

LOL .... I said a similar thing to my wife about an hour ago. I was thinking AOC was playing the "little people" card putting together her funky IKEA table.
;-)
That’s true.
Normally I would call it about a toss up but the fact she talks with food in her mouth definitely makes fingernails on a blackboard more enjoyable....
After the multi-day slam fest on Kav for liking drinking beer I thought that the democrats thought everyone who enjoys this kind of stuff needs to be in jail on charges of rape. Where is that great paragon of temperance, Sheldon White Horses Ass, when you need him.
Me...me...me...ME..ME..!!! Look at ME!!!!
And enslaved the natives to dig their gold to send back to Spain.
I for one have no doubt about her intelligence. None at all.
That’s what I found most striking...
She is a slob, eating with her mouth open and talking at the same time, all the while popcorn crumbs are falling out of her mouth.
Real class.
“laid back” — maybe little Chiquita Khrushchev had a snoot full.

Enjoy your weekend.
