Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “Tackled” by Constituent’s Dog

Attacked…with kisses!!! In the clip, you can see New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sitting on the street when she is playfully tackled by an enthusiastic dog. Best conference call interruption we’ve ever seen.

“Snuggle ambush in the Bronx while I was on a conference call,” Cortez writes.

As usual, the comments provided good fun:

That pun was ruff.

“Pawlitics as usual,” someone writes. “That pun was ruff,” another responds.

The video was shot when Cortez was still a congressional candidate, but went viral on National Love Your Pet Day on February 20th. There’s your feel good story of the day! Hope you get ambushed with kisses today too.
