Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a message for everyone on Twitter: don\u2019t be fooled into laughing at me. Don\u2019t you dare.<\/p>\n<p>The Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody) Twitter account, whose satirical intent is clearly identified in parentheses, appears to have touched a sensitive nerve in the New York congresswoman.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez has acknowledged the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-claimed-trump-doj-went-after-twitter-troll-on-behalf-of-devin-nunes-thats-not-true\/\" title=\"Media Claimed Trump DOJ Went After Twitter Troll On Behalf Of Devin Nunes. That\u2019s Not True.\">parody account<\/a> on Twitter, warned her followers to be aware of it, and indicated that \u201cI am assessing with my team how to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">FYI there\u2019s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC\/status\/1663599965698916371?\">May 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Thinly Veiled Threats<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAssessing with my team how to move forward?\u201d Has a threat ever appeared more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tensions-flare-between-china-india-after-clashes-at-himalayan-border\/\" title=\"Tensions flare between China, India after clashes at Himalayan border\">thinly veiled<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>In the America many of us remember, there were only two possible ways to \u201cmove forward\u201d: 1) laugh at yourself, and\/or 2) stop doing things that make other people want to mock you.<\/p>\n<p>The parody account makes fun of Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s apparent deficiency in relevant knowledge due in part to what some might perceive as her excessive interest in being a woke celebrity. A pinned tweet, for instance, reads as follows: \u201cPrinting money is the only way out of inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Printing money is the only way out of inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody) (@AOCpress) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOCpress\/status\/1662948135247794178?\">May 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Threat Against the First Amendment<\/h3>\n<p>The threat against the First Amendment looms over every conservative on every media platform. Ocasio-Cortez, in fact, became the smiling face of the new censorship regime when she celebrated the \u201cdeplatforming\u201d of Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">AOC on Tucker \u201cDeplatforming works and it is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat Party is the Party of Censorship<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jIOdwE1Bua\">pic.twitter.com\/jIOdwE1Bua<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX  (@alx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alx\/status\/1650727142420799491?\">April 25, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>An Aversion to Humor<\/h3>\n<p>In Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s response to the parody account, we see an aversion to humor typical of tyrants and would-be tyrants alike. In fact, there is no indication that she even recognizes the account\u2019s humorous tone. It is \u201cimpersonating me,\u201d she said, and \u201creleasing false policy statements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Had Twitter existed in say, 1964, and had a brave subject of the Mao Zedong regime in China somehow managed to create an account called \u201cChairman Mao Press Release (parody),\u201d is there any doubt that Chairman Mao himself, once appraised of the situation, would have used similar words to describe it \u2014 that is, after marking the culprit for death?<\/p>\n<p>When wrestling with memories of history\u2019s most brutal regimes, humor has worked for some as a balm on the deepest wounds. Who can forget The Producers, brainchild of director Mel Brooks, son of Polish and Ukrainian Jews?<\/p>\n<p>Legendary humorists also have mocked the technological backwardness caused by ridiculous Bolshevik pretensions, as in the case of SCTV\u2019s \u201cCCCP1: Today Is Moscow\u201d skit, which here features a \u201cnew Soviet minicam\u201d:<\/p>\n<h3>Only in Free Societies<\/h3>\n<p>Tyrannies invite such mockery. Only in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jailed-alberta-pastor-alleges-abuse-in-prison-but-remains-hopeful-lawyer-condemns-bizarre-detention\/\" title=\"Jailed Alberta Pastor Alleges Abuse In Prison But Remains Hopeful; Lawyer Condemns \u2018Bizarre\u2019 Detention\">free societies<\/a>, however, do citizens preserve humor as an outlet for their frustrations with the endless follies of the powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody) has incurred the wrath of its humorless namesake. Whether that wrath amounts to anything more than thinly-veiled threats should serve as a test of how free we truly are.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aoc-meltdown-parody-account-gains-massive-amounts-followers-twitter\/\">AOC Has Meltdown After Parody Account Gains Massive Amounts of Followers on Twitter<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warns Twitter users not to mock her, after a parody account gains popularity.
