Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was shocked and amazed to discover that the Earth is, in fact, round after watching a YouTube video titled 'Flat Earth: Debunked'.

The Bronx-born congresswoman stumbled across the video by chance, searching for some lighthearted content on the video platform as a break from her hectic schedule. Having previously thought of the Earth as a flat disc floating in the sky, AOC was taken aback to learn of its true shape. "Wow, I had no idea! All this time I thought the Earth was flat! It's incredible what you can find on the internet, isn't it," she beamed to reporters.

When asked if this new discovery would affect her policy positions in any way, AOC responded with an emphatic "Not a chance!"
