A 2019 tweet by New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone viral on the anniversary of the Challenger tragedy on 28 January 1986.
On 8 March 2019, Ms Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that it was via the Girl Scouts that she “first practiced how to change brake fluid, start a fire, practice self-defense, recreate the NASA Challenger mission, and [very] importantly: learn to teach myself new skills + navigate ambiguity. There’s a reason a [lot] of Congresswomen are former scouts!”
