    Twitter account AnonymousQ1776 originally tweeted the video with the caption:

    That sounds like criticism to me.

    She is a mindless socialist, that has nothing to do with the dancing video which is a non-story made to look like people actually cared. I mean the only thing even slightly interesting about that whole thing is that she used to go by "Sandy".

    Some obvious 4chan/the_donald user tweeted it out thinking it would embarrass or shame her.

    Similar incel jerkoffs circlejerked with it. Dancing commie slut bad!

    Nobody of note ran with it that I know of, but that's the world we live in today apparently... one where an anonymous twitter troll can be given a world-wide stage if they say/do something stupid enough.

    you nailed it. a random twitter person. You are proving my point.

    you are the one giving him a stage. Also the NYT, CNN, etc. usual NPCs. They wanted to push a narrative, like the people on this thread, so they did even though it was false.

    I posted the original tweet because it's fun to laugh at qanon incel trumpist losers. And she's attractive.

    For all we know, "AnonymousQ1776" could be yet another Kevin Durant sock puppet

    I figure the person booing would be a Democrat. She was elected to tell Pelosi to GTFO.

    Does "a random Twitter person" not qualify as not "nobody"?

    "Somebody" (i.e. a single person) in a country of 325 million seems like a pretty low bar to meet.

    how do you know what country they are from?

    I say nobody criticized/embarrassed her over the video and your response was to point to a tweet from someone you have no idea who it is. If that's the best you got then you are proving my point. Apparently the NYT, CNN, and all the other NPC media types ran with the same stupidity you did.

    For all you know, they aren't actually "somebody", they could easily be a bot or account used to spread propaganda. There's really no way of telling who or what some random ass twitter account is. Again, it could be another KD sock puppet for all we know.

    Let's break this down...

    Incel troll tweets new media of popular celebrity politician doing something apparently deemed interesting (dancing). And hey, don't blame me, the video got over 8 million views the day it was released, so apparently it was interesting.

    News orgs notice this interesting thing happening and report on it, AOC sees reports (I'm assuming she was alerted by news stories but it is possible she responded prior to that), responds, cycle repeats.

    It's a perfect storm of sorts. High profile politician attacked with old piece of media dug up from their past, entire world finds new "dirt" on high profile politician to be endearing. That's a compelling story, even if the antagonists in this story are simply a bunch of non-surface dwelling weeabos from r/the_donald.

    If the footage of Ted Cruz from high school had come out and shown him actually being a... human person, and some libtard tweeted it out as a sick burn, you'd probably see conservative media circles lighting up about it too.

    Although probably not as much, because, y'know, everyone hates Ted Cruz.

    I don't assume Mr. Bot made the rounds in finding this little dancing video. Unless bots are way more sophisticated now than we realize. In which case a dancing congresswoman is the least of our worries.

    AOC herself could have put the video out using this account in order to keep her name in the news. I'm simply saying that there's no way of knowing who some random Twitter account is.

    Yeah, it took all of about 30 seconds to look at that twitter account and see what that guy's all about.

    Again, if you are going to leak something like that and blame it on right wingers, it wouldn't take long to have created that account and put that kind of stuff up. The account was started on January 2nd and posted the video on January 4th.....

    It's pretty clear the account was created specifically to release that video, was it a right winger? Was it AOC herself or a left winger doing it to keep her in the news?

    There's honestly no way of telling, but when a "leak" comes from a 2 day old Twitter account, anything is possible.
