AOC Complains About Elon Musk ‘Boosting’ Parody Twitter Account

Breitbart: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) complained Tuesday about a popular parody Twitter account that posts erroneous tweets that seem to embarrass the radical left member of Congress.

“FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral,” Ocasio-Cortez warned her 13.4 million Twitter followers.

AOC is really worried that people won’t be able to tell the difference between this parody account and her own tweets. I find that very funny! https://t.co/ArXa6h13sF

“The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility,” she said of Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk, who is often cheeky with the New York State representative.

“It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread,” she continued. “I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.”

Although Ocasio-Cortez voiced displeasure about the parody account, the account’s name contains “parody” in it to avoid confusion: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody).” The account has over 100,000 followers.

Twitter reinstated the account in May after its suspension in 2019. In its first tweet back from oblivion, it poked fun at Ocasio-Cortez during the debt ceiling negotiations on Capitol Hill.

Unpopular opinion (or maybe popular): I like AOC well enough but the AOC parody account is admittedly very funny.
Why can't folks just laugh this stuff? It's not that serious!

“What’s wrong with defaulting on the debt? Everyone I know uses the defaults. My default browser is Chrome,” the account read on May 22.

Since then, it posted a number of tweets that gained hundreds of retweets and thousands of likes due to apparent hilarity.

It's clearly marked as a parody. You should also mark your own account as a parody because you're like a parody of a politician.

Great News:

I personally called Twitter headquarters and told them I was going to hold my breath until my face turned blue – and they instantly removed the blue check from that racist, white supremacist parody AOC account.
