Former congressional candidate Deanna Lorraine blasted AOC for tweeting about playing Nintendo’s “animal crossing.”
It began when Aida Chavez tweeted:
News: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she recently got a Nintendo Switch and started her Animal Crossing island a couple days ago

AOC then quickly confirmed it was the truth, tweeting:
Hi there! Very new to this.
I would like to visit random people’s islands and leave a doodle or note on their bulletin board.
Can I do that? If so, how?
Should I open my DMs for the first time since the Zuckerberg hearing for the Dodo codes??

AOC then tweeted multiple updates to her “animal crossing” game progress.
Update 2: first ever House call (get it?) in the books!
It was so sweet. Island belonged to a family of three. We exchanged fruit, took pictures, and I signed a bulletin note using my touch screen.
I was floored by how fast they typed and they taught me about the app.
UPDATE 3: Okay! After a few visits earlier I am reopening for a few more #AOCHouseCalls.
DMs are opening again for 4 minutes, drop me your Dodo code and a note and I may stop by!
(Yes that is a hand drawn campaign shirt & no I haven’t sorted out exporting screenshots yet)

Former Northern California congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine had had enough and tweeted:
Are you kidding me? We’re paying you to play Animal Crossing? OMG.

To which AOC responded “Curious for your thoughts on Trump’s golf bills”

@AOC, I think we should have a debate if you’re not too busy playing video games. Let’s talk about why your dream of socialism is so great…or not. I remember you told
that he was being sexist when he asked you, but I’m a woman just like you. What do you say?
