Ocasio-Cortez remixes policies with Ariana Grande twist
Ariana Grande tweeted a lyric from her new collaboration with Lizzo and inadvertently set in motion a chain of events that ended with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) putting a progressive policy twist on the pop star’s biggest songs.
It all began Friday afternoon with this post from Grande:
baby how u feelin
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) October 25, 2019
It was a reference to Lizzo’s new track “Good As Hell,” on which she appears on a remix:
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, or whoever was operating his Twitter account at the time, seized on the tweet and replied:
Ready to fight for Medicare for All. https://t.co/tltURZpb6a
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) October 25, 2019
Grande responded:

Ocasio-Cortez, who last week endorsed Sanders in his run for president, then reimagined progressive policies “as an Ariana dance party”:
Progressive policies as an Ariana dance party:
