- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is warning social media users that a verified blue Twitter accounts is trying to impersonate her.
- “FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility. It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread. I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Tuesday.
- The account has the same profile and picture as Ocasio-Cortez’s official congressional account but goes by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody), @AOCpress.
- “This might be the wine talking, but I’ve got a crush on Elon Musk,” one Tweet reads. Musk himself replied with the fire emoji.
