Eagle Exclusive: Meet the Twitter user behind viral Ocasio-Cortez dance account
A now-defunct anonymous Twitter account’s attempt to smear U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a video that shows her dancing on a rooftop with her college friends has inspired an Arizona teenager to create her own account dedicated to the newly sworn-in Democrat.
“I went to bed with 2,500 followers, woke up at 6 to 8,300 followers, and now I have over 9,300,” said Valentina, the woman behind @aoc_dances, the viral Twitter account dedicated to dubbing over clips of the congresswoman dancing with a seemingly endless playlist of songs.
As of the time this article was published, that number had risen to 13,500 — and rapidly growing.
