After a college-era video showing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, dancing made waves in conservative social media spheres, the newly elected lawmaker responded Friday with a new video of herself dancing – this time outside her congressional office.

Ocasio-Cortez shakes, points and spins with Edwin Starr's version of "War," a protest song from the Vietnam era, playing in the background. The Congresswoman then laughs as she enters her new office in Washington.

"I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous. Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too! 💃🏽 Have a great weekend everyone :)" Ocasio-Cortez tweeted along with the video.

According to Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio, the video became the most retweeted tweet in just five hours for Ocasio-Cortez, known for her viral posts and savvy social media presence.

The original clip of Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress and a Democratic socialist, went viral this week when an anonymous right-wing Twitter account shared the clip of young people moving to music.

The clip appeared to be an edited version of a 2010 YouTube video of Boston University students dancing to the song "Lisztomania" by Phoenix, with only Ocasio-Cortez in the cut version.

Many were quickto defend Ocasio-Cortez after the video grew with more than 5 million views, saying it was just a young college student dancing with her friends.

Ocasio-Cortez upset veteran Democrat U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley in her June primary and has become a leading voice for many progressives since, advocating for a "Green New Deal," abolishing ICE and Medicare for all.
