Ocasio Cortez Twitter Account

There is no record of Ocasio-Cortez tweeting the statement. A search of her Twitter accounts – @AOC and @RepAOC – turned up no matching tweets. It also does not appear in ProPublica’s archive of her deleted tweets. The tweet appears to be fabricated. A Twitter user appears to have deleted their account after getting called out by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) for explaining her joke.

Sorry to break it to you, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may not be getting your Twitter DMs. The New York Congresswoman posted on Tuesday that personal messages are not working for her social media account.

'My DMs haven't worked in 3 months,' she wrote, with an emoji of an unimpressed face. '@TwitterSupport pls help.'

She also added that she wouldn't be able to send a direct message to Twitter support, because of her problem. 'Sorry to do it like this but... I can't DM ya,' the congresswoman noted.

Some folks joked about how AOC's down DMs was the reason there was radio silence for those trying to contact her. 'This is why you haven't DMd me back alright cool,' one person wrote. 'This explains a lot,' another chided.

'I can just give you my cell number if that's easier,' a third person wrote, shooting their shot to be friends with the congresswoman. 'Listen I just think we'd be great friends,' they added.
