Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Warns Followers to Be Careful About What They Read<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFYI there\u2019s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-upset-over-parody-press-account-cracking-up-conservative-social-media\/\" title=\"AOC angry about fake news account amusing right-wing social media.\">releasing false policy statements<\/a> and gaining spread. I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is making headlines after a meme Twitter account began parodying her press releases. The account, @AOCpress, has gained mass popularity, with conservatives across social media delighting in its content. Armed with a blue check, the account describes itself as &#8220;Saying the quiet part out loud (parody).&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The parody account has tweeted everything from Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s personal life to her political views. One tweet reads, &#8220;If we tax citizens at a rate of 80%, we&#8217;d easily be able to pay 3 trillion dollars in reparations to transgenders.&#8221; Another commented, &#8220;Feeling cute, might go to the southern border for another photo shoot.&#8221; One popular tweet states, &#8220;To conserve water and save the planet, I&#8217;m not going to bathe until 2027.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the account&#8217;s popularity, Ocasio-Cortez does not appear to find the humor in it. She tweeted, &#8220;After brainstorming with my staff \u2014 I\u2019m going to push Congress to make it illegal to joke, laugh, or make fun of me. Parody should be illegal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The parody account responded to Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s concern by making fun of the situation. &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe people would think these parody tweets are from our office when they are clearly fake. Come on y&#8217;all you know I would never say something as stupid as that,&#8221; the account added.<\/p>\n<h3>Be Careful What You Believe<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to be careful about what you read and believe, especially on social media.
