Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared in one embarrassing video that she will never live down
New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s penchant for publicity stunts isn’t one of her better traits.
Ocasio-Cortez’s hunger for the spotlight never leads her or the Democrat Party down good roads.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared in one embarrassing video that she will never live down.
Donald Trump ran circles around Kamala Harris in the last election on new media platforms like TikTok.
Trump also ran up the score with young men.
Young voters began to judge Trump as cool and the Democrat Party as a collection of censorious scolds that lectured Americans about using the proper pronouns.
A recent CBS poll found that 56 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 approve of the job Trump is doing as President.
A group of Democrat Congresswomen tried to kill two birds with one stone by showing they could create viral TikTok content and appeal to young men.
This genius idea led to Democrats going viral for all the wrong reasons.
TikTok influencer Sulhee Jessica Woo created a video where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Katherine Clark (D-MA), Judy Chu (D-CA), and Susie Lee (D-NV) appeared in a “choose your fighter” video.
The Democrats were seen jumping into the screen and assuming combat poses like in a 1990s video game where the players would choose their character to fight in hand-to-hand combat.
In the video, Woo tried to humanize the Democrats by including attributes such Ocasio-Cortez being the “youngest woman and Latina elected to the House” and that she was a “Trekkie” in the place of where their special skills would be listed in the video game.
The video described Crockett as “not a morning person.”

The video was met with mocking across the political spectrum as a cringe example of being a try hard.
Even the media ridiculed the thinking behind this video being essentially that since young men on TikTok like video games lets create our send up of the games many young Americans now play since nostalgia culture is big.
CNN’s Abby Phillip pulled no punches in laughing at the stupidity of this video.
“I mean, there is, like, serious stuff happening in this country, but that seems to be just inviting ridicule,” Phillip stated.
Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) defended the video calling it “lighthearted” and “creative” to communicate with “different voters.”
Phillip wasn’t persuaded and thought it was the dumbest thing she’s ever seen.
“I guess my question is to what end? I don’t get it. Like, I don’t get it. I mean, maybe you will get 7 million eyeballs. But like what is the point?” Phillip asked.
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings couldn’t wait to dunk on the Democrats calling this “dumbest thing” he’d “ever seen.”
Jennings mocked Ocasio-Cortez and the others in the video for finding a way to drive their party’s approval rating lower than the current 21 percent level as pegged in a Quinnipiac poll.
“Scrambling for new social media and communication strategies is not a replacement for fixing what’s actually wrong. Your party has a 21 percent approval rating right now, Congressional Democrats,” Jennings concluded.
