An eight-year-old comedian in the making has left the internet in stitches with her ‘on the nose’ impression of Democratic Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Little Ava Martinez, from Rancho Santa Margarita, California, was platformed into social media stardom on Thursday after her Stepdad Salvatore Schachter uploaded a video of her adorable imitation to Twitter.
‘Like, I want to talk about, like, climate change. Because, like, there’s no doubt cow farts are making the climate change,’ Ava can be heard exclaiming to the camera.
‘Like, in July, the climate was 96 degrees and in February the climate was 36 degrees. OMG, like that’s a huge change in the climate in only,’ —pausing to count her fingers—‘four months!’
Having been viewed more than 400,000 times, Schachter says he’s been inundated with messages from viewers insisting Ava is the spitting image of the 29-year-old congressional freshman in the amusing skit.
‘Her timing and delivery were spot on. Pure gold,’ wrote one user.
‘You can close your eyes and swear you are listening to the actual person,’ another added.
Schachter said he’d previously noticed a likeness between Ava and the New York representative, but after family members started referring to her as ‘Little AOC’, he asked if she wanted to record a video.
‘I thought it would gain attention, because she’s adorable, but not like this,’ the proud step-father told the Post.
‘She loves acting; she’s just a natural performer,’ he added.

Sporting red lipstick and glasses similar to Ocasio-Cortez’s, Ava’s resemblance to her subject is striking.
Her stepdad admits she wasn’t aware of who AOC was before making the video, but that didn’t stop Ava poking fun at some of the politician’s key policies.
‘I also want to talk about socialism because socialism is so amazing,’ the eight-year-old gushes. ‘Like, socialism is actually short for social media. I do social media, so I’m a socialist.’
‘Three of the most successful countries in the world are socialists too: Venezula, Facebook and Twitter.

‘I have a lot of friends who moved to America from Facebook,’ she adds.
Following the success of ‘Little AOC’s’ debut, Schachter says Ava’s considering making the impression a recurring role.
‘She’s adorable!!’ Wrote on Twitter user, ‘This needs to be a recurring thing. Give her an AOC parody account immediately.’
