<p>New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said “you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge” to take her literally when she invoked a 12-year deadline to stop “world ending” global warming.</p>
<p>However, at least five Democrats running for president in 2020 invoked the “12 years left” talking point as a sign of how seriously they took climate change to build support among the environmental left.<span> </span><strong><a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/12/ocasio-cortez-climate-world-ending-12-years-dry-humor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">(RELATED: Ocasio-Cortez Rebuffs ‘Fact-Checkers,’ Says The World Ending In 12 Years Was ‘Dry Humor’)</a></strong></p>
<p>In January, Ocasio-Cortez said young people were worried “<a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/22/ocasio-cortez-climate-media/">the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change</a>.” In April, Ocasio-Cortez warned again there were only 12 years left and that “for everyone who wants to make a joke about that, you may laugh, but your grandkids will not.”</p>
<p>On Sunday, however, Ocasio-Cortez<span> </span><a href="https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/12/ocasio-cortez-climate-world-ending-12-years-dry-humor/">seemingly flipped her position</a><span> </span>on the 12-year deadline. Her “world ending” warning was only “dry humor,” and that “you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal,” she tweeted.</p>

<div class="article__summary summary">Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) has been ensnared in her first congressional scandal: a clip of her and friends performing silly dance moves in college has been leaked and gone viral!</div>
<div class="article__text text"><p>A conservative "<em>QAnon</em>" Twitter account posted a video of Ocasio-Cortez and her friends reenacting a dance routine from The Breakfast Club. Complete with the LiveLeak tag in the corner, it had all the trappings of a scandal, but was strangely… non-scandalous. Wholesome, even.</p>
<p>The video was recorded in 2010 at Boston University, while Ocasio-Cortez was a student there. She graduated with a degree in economics the following year.</p>

<p>The clip - now deleted - was cut from this eight-year-old video and given a new soundtrack.</p>

<p>Unmoved by the group's youthful exuberance, the anonymous poster, who has since deleted their entire account, disparages the Democratic Socialist congresswoman as a “<em>clueless nitwit</em>.” Most of Twitter, however, was charmed by “<em>Sandy</em>,” and even pro-Trump voices thought the attacks were counterproductive.</p>
