Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Visiting People’s “Animal Crossing” Islands

AOC made her first visit to an island belonging to Justin Mirsky, 32, and Laura Smykla, 33.

When they saw the the invitation, they jumped at the opportunity to have her visit their island.

An hour after Mirsky sent the tweet, the pair got a notification that someone was visiting their island. Ocasio-Cortez visited the island dressed in a shirt with “AOC” drawn on it, left a message on their island’s bulletin board, and exchanged fruits with the couple.
