The match wasn’t all fun and games.

“Are you for real? Jagmeet, you just killed her right in front of me,” AOC said during gameplay. “He’s so good at this, it’s scary.”

When Singh denied perpetrating the grisly act, the congresswoman conceded she was “impressed” with his deceptive plea of innocence.

“Damn, they’re doin ‘em dirty,” she added.

Ocasio-Cortez’s Oct. 20 livestream, which included fellow progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, was one of the most-viewed events in the nine-year history of Twitch, which has become a popular way for politicians to attract young supporters.

The record still belongs to a professional gamer who played the popular game “Fortnite” with Canadian superstar Drake, rapper Travis Scott and NFL wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, with 628,000 viewers watching at the same time.

Singh’s more modest event attracted up to 26,000 viewers at one point.
