Rumors Swirl Online that AOC Has Secret Twitter Burner Account to Target Conservatives
Recently, an online user took to Twitter to reveal that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may have a burner account.
A burner account is a social media account created by a famous person to post or comment on content anonymously without revealing their true identity. The idea is that the account may only be used temporarily and may be deleted or “burned” after a certain period of time or after its intended purpose has been fulfilled.
According to the post by the Twitter user, they responded to one of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s posts and criticized her for her alleged hypocrisy. Shortly thereafter, a random account replied to them, as if they were the intended target of the comment. What stood out was that the anonymous account’s response was written in first-person, which strongly suggests the use of a burner account. This is a common tell-tale sign that someone is using an alternate account to post or comment online without revealing their true identity.
YOOOOO!!! AOC has burned accounts. I responded to one of her posts reminding her that she sends money to Nazis, and some random account responded to me speaking in first person as if I attacked them. Then that same person DELETED the tweets 😭🤣 pic.twitter.com/GxwIWSPv6h

Celebrities and public figures have been known to use burner accounts to interact with fans or to monitor online conversations about themselves without drawing attention to their official accounts. However, using burner accounts to deceive or harass others is considered unethical and could violate the terms of service of some social media platforms.
The suspicious burner account associated with Ocasio-Cortez has since been deleted, adding further intrigue to the situation.

Ong it does. That’s literally how she responds to shit. And the burner account has inconsistent tonality. Sometimes it’s attempting to sound like a dude & others the tone completely flips to being sassy lol

Like it’s actually concerning.
Bc they could easily say, “Hey, I don’t think this guy is right about her burner account. But ummm, did AOC really fund Nazis? Bc if that is, we definitely need to hold her accountable for that”
But these “leftists” NEVER mention it. Bc they…
