Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a mini-me mocker on Twitter, and the adorable 8-year-old is quickly building a social media following.
This sweet, adorable, 8yo actress is not only much cuter than the real #AlexandriaOcasioCortez but she’s also already much smarter too. I asked her to do this video because when #AOC is talking this is what we’re all thinking. We’re better off with this sweetheart in Congress. pic.twitter.com/QybovhN8WZ

“This sweet, adorable, 8yo actress is not only much cuter than the real #AlexandriaOcasioCortez but she’s also already much smarter too,” Twitter user SickenTirade posted with a video on Thursday. “I asked her to do this video because when #AOC is talking this is what we’re all thinking.
“We’re better off with this sweetheart in Congress,” the post read.
The video shows the young girl – identified by Fox News as Ava Martinez – with her brown hair pulled back, red lipstick, and glasses as she sat on a faux fir Papasan chair. Her shirt read: “Dream Big.”
“Like, I’m Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, and I want to talk about, like, climate change because, like, there’s no doubt cow farts are making the climate change. And, like, in July the climate was 96 degrees and in February the climate was 36 degrees,” the youngster said.
“OMG, that’s a huge change in the climate in only …,” she continued, pausing to count her fingers, “four months.
“Like, at this rate, the world is going to end in exactly 12 years, and like, I’m only 29 years old now, so the world will be over when I’m only …,” Martinez paused again to count fingers, “37 years old.”
The mini AOC also addressed geopolitics and immigration, poking fun at the representative from New York’s loose grasp with the facts.
“Like, I also want to talk about socialism because socialism is so amazing,” the actress said. “Socialism is actually short for social media, did you know that?
“Like, I use social media so I’m a socialist,” she said. “And, like, three of the most successful countries in the world are socialist too. Venezuela, Facebook and Twitter are all very successful socialist countries.
“I have a lot of friends who moved to America from Facebook,” she joked.
The video quickly racked up thousands of re-tweets, more than 11,000 likes and over 400,000 views over just a few days. Media outlets also peppered SickenTirade for permission to publish the clip, which started as a family joke, according to the New York Post.
Martinez’s step-father, Salvatore Schachter, told the news site a family member started calling the girl “Little AOC” because of the resemblance, so he asked her if she’d like to make the video.
“She loves acting,” Schacter told the Post, adding that Martinez and her brother post their own videos to YouTube. “She’s just a natural performer.”
