This whole thing has been a blast on Twitter!
I really can't believe anyone could find anything wrong with this adorable, refreshing, dorky and fun video of a young girl paying a little tribute to an 80's classic movie.
They are reaching. They are desperate. They boo'd her yesterday when she voted for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House.
She scares them.
And I'm here for it. (As I'm certain many of you are, as well.)

It has backfired! Mostly positive comments! [See also: What Brett Kavanaugh was doing in college.] Unfortunately, we know those answers! |

OMG the horror! Dancing fully clothed in college. What kind of woman is she?
Oh my oh my the horror!
Hmmmm now what was it that rich famous pastor said about politicians actions? Oh, that’s right, we can’t hold politicians responsible for every action they ever did, we can just look at the policies they support.
Humph I think I need to go find that quote and screen shot it because I somehow feel it will save me A LOT of typing about sleeves, tan suits, shorts, flip flops and horrors of changing house rules to allow hijabs and whatever the brew haha was over that Senator breast feeding.
I honestly have way less of an issue with this video than I do with some of her policies but she isn’t my representative so whatever

I'm impressed! Looks like she was a pretty good dancer.
ETA If her degree education is as good a her dancing, there might be hope for you yet!

Wow, you'd think she'd have posed nude for a magazine or something, oh wait, that was the First Lady...
Disclaimer: I have ZERO issue with any woman posing nude (though the thought of young boys all over the country spanking it to the naked first lady kinda skeeves me out), but the same folks who are absolutely scandalized by AOC's dancing are the same ones who didn't bat an eye at the Melania's nude photos.

ETA: Anybody know where I can get some nice calendars with boxes big enough to write all my daily plans? |

Yes, the hypocrisy is mind boggling, isn’t it? And the irony certainly isn’t lost on me either. |

There's nothing wrong with her dancing. She can dance everyday if she wants and maybe all that green energy she's using will help light that dim bulb in her head.

Truly befuddling that the same people who are A-OK with a first lady who posed in the nude with other women and a Supreme Court justice who had a reputation of being a drunk in college and a freaking PRESIDENT who brags about grabbing women's pu$$ies are outraged by a college girl doing a dance. With her freaking clothes on.
Shaking my head and smacking it against a wall...

She graduated from an elite college with a degree in international relations and was elected to United States House of Representatives. And she is 30. What have you done? (Being a troll on a scrapbook message board doesn’t cut it...) |

Like, without the sun, she wouldn't have been able to move?  I'm loving how skeered she has the GOP and predict a long political career for her. |

Where was Squee when this dancing was taking place? Was there boofing? Was there beer? Maybe lindas would worry less about the dim bulb in AOC's head if she was a better fit for the white boy's club that so many of the elite Republicans all seem to play in. Fox News is a dangerous drug kiddos.

Their bizzare outrage over her by booing and now this has confirmed to me she's the shadow woman in that painting.

I’m curious, why would anyone be scared of her?
There was nothing wrong with the video.
The problem is Ocasio-Cortez. The right is baiting her and she is falling for it hook, line, & sinker. She gets in these back and fourths with those on the right who bait her with some stupid thing like this video or her suits. And it’s pointless and a waste of her time because you are never going to win.
IMO Ms Bernie minime/just pay for it Ocasio-Cortez needs to ignore the taunts from the right and use that degree she got from the elite college and get about the work her constituents elected her to do.
And she can start by coming up with a more viable sustainable way to pay for the Green New Deal she is pushing then what she suggested this morning. A way that doesn’t push our government the way of France, Italy, & Greece ‘s governments.
I think there is a lot of truth in the saying “actions speak louder then words”. It’s time for her to practice it.

Why do you say she’s not very bright? I don’t know much about her beyond people don’t seem to like her, this video, and hat she was booed yesterday in Congress. |

May be I should just make this my sigybecause I feel like I am saying this more and more lately.
I am a democrat and if this was the video of a republican senator, I still wouldn’t blink nor do I care.
And as someone said above, it shows more about people themselves than her

It’s pretty damn funny that the conservatives were so gosh damned butt hurt and were crying about them having to leave the board because the liberals took umbrage with what they believed in or who they supported, but this is just yet another perfect example of the IOKIYR bullshit that they slide in. |

Well Hell, if that's all I cared about, I'd vote for her.
It's not and I won't be.
Don't look to me to agree that there's anything scandalous here, other than someone possibly trying to capitalize on the word "Scandal" (since it was such a popular show).

Oh and for what it’s worth—the video clip down by the right winger was heavily edited—he cut out 3-1/2 minutes of the original video that was done with other BU students, as a mash up of something popular at the time.
But hey, it’s those conservatives and right wingers who would rather support and approve (white men) college drunk, rape parties than harmless dancing. Yep. We see you.

he problem is Ocasio-Cortez. The right is baiting her... The problem is Ocasio-Cortez. Period. Being baited is what politics is all about. Party affiliation doesn't protect you from it. If you can't stand up to it, you aren't a very good politician. |

You make some excellent points, @fred. I'm hoping she will be as effective in creating policy as she is at clapping back.
Her authenticity is so appealing to me. The access she is giving to her constituents is fascinating. Live video of her cooking in her kitchen and answering questions from constituents/citizens is pretty damn cool. It's the kind of access the public seems to love from its celebrities, but she seems to be doing it to expand her reach, educate and share her ideas without filters. It's refreshing to me.
Again, I take your point about the necessity of responding to all the BS hate. On the other hand, I imagine there is still a good amount of crap that she is NOT responding to. I think Democrats are hungry for leaders willing to fight back against what they've seen these last 2 years. I, for one, find myself cheering for her when she comes back hard with smartass snark.
