Just when you thought New York City Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could get any more ridiculous, a video she shared Wednesday appears to show her farting.

The 45-second clip shared by AOC has been viewed more than 13.6 million times, but not because of anything she has to say. It’s because right around the 40-second mark, you can basically hear her fart.

It is hard to believe AOC would share this clip with the fart included. But it appears that is precisely what she did. And even if it wasn’t a fart, why release a clip that sounds like it has a fart in it? Obviously, no one is going to take her seriously (have they ever?). (RELATED: Rep.

Someone on Twitter claimed they put the video under a thermal infrared filter to confirm the authenticity of the fart. We can’t authenticate the authenticity of the infrared clip, but it is very funny so you should watch it anyway.

Listen, I am pro-fart. All women fart, and those who say they don’t, or who won’t fart in front of their partners, just need to get an insecurity check. And they need to take out whatever else is up their ass, and have a bit of fun.

No matter the context, farts are always funny. And it’s really funny to watch a possible AOC fart. If she denies it, it’ll be even funnier.
