Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has scored a major victory as she accurately identified a mouse trap as a device used to catch mice.

The moment came when the congressional representative was asked a basic biology question while perusing a science and nature exhibit at the Smithsonian. She was presented with a classic wooden mousetrap baited with cheese and confidently told the curator that it was a device designed to catch mice. She was dead right.

A nearby crowd of onlookers, composed mostly of geneticists, gasped in amazement before breaking into applause. AOC bowed gracefully in response and the moment was quickly turned into a viral sensation on social media. Congratulatory messages poured in from her supporters, who praised her for her scientific prowess.
