Dear Reader:
Democratic U.S. Representative appears on a Donkey Kong 64 charity live-stream
Well here's a connection I never thought I'd be talking about! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic U.S. Representative for New York’s 14th congressional district, randomly popped up on a Donkey Kong 64 charity live-stream event over the weekend. During the stream, AOC talked about her time with the N64, and gave shout-outs to both Super Mario 64 and Pokemon Snap as some titles she spent time with.
The charity event, which was looking to raise funds for transgender children, teenagers, and their families, ended up raising over $340k. You can check out a AOC's appearance in the video snippet below.
