Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a video of herself from 2019 dancing outside her Capitol Hill office in a show of support for Finnish PM Sanna Marin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Broadcasting News Corporation : Just when you thought it was Finnished\u2026 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez resurrected Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin\u2019s party scandal \u2014 to share an old clip of herself dancing and comparing herself to the European head of state. Marin, who at 36 is one of the world\u2019s youngest world leaders, came under fire earlier this month after cellphone videos showed her dancing and parting wildly at a private party and a nightclub. On Monday, almost two weeks after Marin faced backlash, the 32-year-old New York congresswoman tweeted a short clip of herself from 2019 boogying down to Edwin Starr\u2019s classic 1970 hit \u201cWar\u201d outside her Capitol Hill office. \u201cElected officials who dance? We\u2019re here for it, @marinsanna,\u201d AOC wrote, adding a winking emoji to the caption accompanying the post, which quickly went viral. AOC originally recorded the video three years prior in response to an online troll\u2019s attempt to embarrass her by leaking a clip of the young politician dancing on the roof of Boston University while she was a student there. \u201cI hear the GOP thinks<\/p>\n

Sanna Marin, 36, was forced to apologize for a topless photo of guests taken at one of her parties, and then defended her right to a private life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

women dancing are scandalous,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at the time. \u201cWait till they find out Congresswomen dance too!\u201d Marin issued an emotional statement last week addressing the controversy surrounding her partying, and argued that she had a right to a private life. \u201cI am also human,\u201d Finnish media quoted the European head of state as saying with a broken voice. \u201cI want to believe that people look at the work we do, not what we do in our free time.\u201d Her speech came after she was also forced to apologize for a photo showing a pair of influencers kissing while topless during another party at the prime minister\u2019s official summer residence in Helsinki.
\nMany commenters, however, have come to Marin\u2019s defense \u2014 among them Hillary Clinton, who showed her solidarity with the prime minister by sharing a photo of herself dancing and chugging beer while representing the US at a summit in Colombia in 2012. \u201cAs Ann Richards said, \u2018Ginger Rodgers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels, \u201d the 74-year-old failed presidential hopeful tweeted.
\n\u201cHere\u2019s me in Cartagena while I was there for a meeting as Secretary of State. Keep dancing, @marinsanna.\u201d Marin replied by thanking the former first lady. NEWS COLLECTED FROM NEW YORK POST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
