NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – An Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "mini-me" is wowing the internet with her impersonation of the firebrand representative from New York.
In a video viewed nearly a million times to Twitter, Ava Martinez dons AOC's glasses, hair style and signature red lipstick.
The 8-year-old begins the video: "Like, I'm Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, and like I want to talk about, like climate change."
"Like, there's no doubt cow farts are making the climate change," she says, going on to say, "The world is going to end in exactly 12 years."
"Like, I also want to talk about socialism, because socialism is so amazing. Like socialism is actually short for social media. Did you know that? Like I'm social media, so I'm a socialist," she says.

"And like three of the most successful countries are socialist too: Venezuela, Facebook and Twitter are all very successful socialist countries," she continues, ending the video with: "I have a lot of friends who moved to America from Facebook."
Martinez's stepdad Salvatore Schachter told The New York Post that he posted the video Thursday.
"I thought it would gain attention, because she's adorable, but not like this," he told the paper.
Schachter said a family member had started calling Martinez "little AOC" after noticing the resemblance, so he asked her if she wanted to do a video.
