Many comedians will attempt to do an impression of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but few will ever succeed. Thankfully, we finally found someone who has mastered the art.

Comedian Alyssa Limperis recently posted her impression of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to YouTube and Twitter on Thursday. Limperis imagines how Ocasio-Cortez might respond to Tan France, the stylist from Queer Eye, and his infamous French tuck (France's preferred method of tucking shirts).

The cast of Queer Eye, sans Karamo Brown, recently visited Ocasio-Cortez and other Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill.

The impression is terrifyingly spot-on. Limperis captures Ocasio-Cortez's emphatic way of announcing her syllables and characteristic hand movements. She knows exactly where she places her gaze and just how often she twists her neck in a mini-fit of irritation.

Kudos to Limperis for further addressing one of the show's greatest injustices -- the excessive amount of labor Bobby Berk performs compared to others on the show.

People on Twitter felt similarly.

We need to have more political impressions like Limperis'. Alec Baldwin has nothing on her.
