Some social media users encountered a tweet in February 2019 supposedly sent by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's press team, a post labeling Hoda Muthana, an Alabama woman who traveled to Syria and married an Islamic state fighter, as more of a hero then our veterans: This message was not posted by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez or anyone associated with her team. The Twitter account @AOCpress is actually a parody account that publishes political satire. @AOCpress identifies itself as parody and satire in its Twitter bio: Hoda Muthana joined ISIS at the age of 20 and had a child with an ISIS fighter. Now, aged 24, she says that she regrets joining the terrorist group and wants to return to the United States. Here's an excerpt from a report filed on her by NPR: Muthana's attempt to come back to the United States drew the attention of President Trump, who tweeted on 20 February 2019 that he had instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to allow her back into the U.S.: We searched Ocasio-Cortez's Twitter feed (found at @AOC not @AOCpress) and did not turn up any comments related to Muthana.
