An attempt to discredit freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez using her college dance video made many on social media to defend her instead.
Here’s what Nexter.org knows about it.
“Extremely damaging” video
Some conservative critics of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are being mocked after they attempted to ridicule the congresswoman for dancing in college.
Two popular conservative conspiracy theorists on Twitter, Dan Jordanand AnonymousQ1776, circulated an old video of Ocasio-Cortez dancing.
The clip is part of a video produced by students at Boston University in 2010 featuring students dancing to the song “Lisztomania” by Phoenix and emulating the dance scene from the 1985 comedy “The Breakfast Club.”

Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University in 2011.
The segments with Ocasio-Cortez dancing have been circulating through conservative websites since at least December 31, 2018, when a now-deleted YouTube video was posted to LiveLeak.
Though the video was meant to diminish Ocasio-Cortez, the vast majority of responses have mocked the conservative poster.
