As Congress was making history this week for becoming more diverse than ever, a small group of people thought the big news of the week was a video they dug up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) dancing in college. It was a fun takeoff on the movie The Breakfast Club, but some right-wingers found it offensive. Yes, that is as ridiculous as it sounds and CNN’s Anderson Cooper couldn’t help but point this out in his segment The Ridiculist. Take a look at the video above and at Ocasio-Cortez’s response below.
I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous.
Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too! ??
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂 pic.twitter.com/9y6ALOw4F6
