Ocasio-Cortez: I Am Teaching My Dem Colleagues on How To Be Savvy on Social Media

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "So you have been called a media virtuoso. People compared to the other members of Congress, certainly some of them. As I was saying, you had a little lesson to teach other members of the Democratic Party to catch them up on social media. What were those lessons like? Was it like the power button is the thing to — What were you teaching them?"

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "I give them more of my general theory and approach to social media. I said, you know, rule number one is to be authentic, to be yourself and don’t try to be anyone that you’re not. So don’t try to talk like a young kid if you’re not a young kid. Don’t post a meme if you don’t know what a meme is, that was literally my advice, and I said don’t talk like the founding fathers on Twitter. If you’re a mom who likes to garden, talk like a mom that likes to garden, and that’s all you’ve got to do."
