‘Mini AOC’ ends parody videos after receiving ‘death threats,’ ‘harassment’ from the left, family says

Via Fox News

The 8-year-old child actor who went viral for impersonating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, is no longer going to make videos due to death threats and harassment she and her family have received.

Earlier this year, Ava Martinez, known as “Mini AOC,” brought joy to her fans with several videos poking fun at the socialist darling, collecting millions of views on social media.

However, the fun came to a screeching halt on Wednesday when Martinez’s family announced that she would no longer be impersonating Ocasio-Cortez and that all the videos created would be removed.

“The Left’s Harassment and death threats have gone too far for our family. We have been getting calls on our personal phone numbers,” Martinez’s stepfather Salvatore Schachter tweeted. “For our safety and for our child’s safety, we deleted all Mini AOC accounts.”

Schachter told Fox News that the feedback from “Mini AOC” was overwhelmingly positive, but the negativity “became too much” after she reenacted photographs the congresswoman had taken at the southern border last year, adding that the comments were “increasingly personal, dark, and dangerous.”

“She’s disappointed at not doing Mini AOC going forward but we explained that this is for the best and she’s okay with it,” Schachter said.

Ava’s family had one message for those on the left who harassed her and her family.

“The world has seen Ava’s beauty, talent, and charm, which was the whole reason for Mini AOC to begin with and no amount of hate or anger will change that,” Schachter told Fox News. “Also, like Ava says, ‘try using your words.'”

So typical.
This, from the same types with lawn signs that spout the moral high ground by claiming ” Hate has no home here.”
That was in response to elementary students who were chanting “Build that wall” repeatedly, shortly after Trump won the election..

Right. Nothing but love, for traditionalist white hetero men.

Was the same treatment of the Covington Catholic boys.

Wonder how their lawsuit is going, against the media and celebrities that tried to buffalo them.

It’s funny that Fredericka Wilson is more concerned over people saying she looks like the illegitimate offspring of a drunken gorilla and a lame donkey, than she is over people pointing out that all of her ideas are half-assed at best.

A perfect representative of the useless and ignorant demographic that votes for her. Her kind deserves the scorn it gets, but they’re too stupid to know better.

I am fuming because this girl’s parent was completely ignored and treated like window dressing… The interview is conducted as if this little 8 year old girl understands the material that is clearly being written for her. What an insult!

Totally agree.

Children are running the show, and parents now take the back seat, didn’t you know?

I think the kid does understand the dynamic somewhat but enjoys the humorous reaction of the public – much like the stand-up comedian derives positive energy and feedback from laughter.
Narcissistic fools hate mocking laughter because it debases their self image. Hurting a fool’s ego can sometimes have dangerous consequences as we see here.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
~Matthew 7:15-20 KJV~

Even God is enamored of fire.
It may be a long time coming and my eyes may not witness it, but I’ve asked to watch, regardless. BY God they deserve it so…..

Obviously this young lady’s satirical observations of the out spoken congresswoman’s bag of nonsense she announces continually has struck a nerve . Shining a spotlight on AOC’s foolishness cannot be tolerated by the left , like the Brown Shirts in 1930’s Germany the true National Socialist Party (NAZI) are showing their true colors . Perhaps the Democratic Party would start wearing swastika arm bands to show who they really are and what they are really all about !

You are the one with the mental issues or just plain stupidity. The brown shirts of the Nazi party were in full swing in the late 20’s and 30’s before war broke out. They were stronger than the German military at the time. When they became too powerful and tried to lead the party, Hitler interviened with the ‘long knives’ – killing off thir leaders and imprisonment for others; thousands of them.
Wake up pal…

Connect the dots – shutting down mini-AOC and the “cowgirl” frederica wilson wanting to silence anyone who criticizes them.
There, you go, ITS ALREADY HAPPENING!
