To the Editor:Re “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Dancing Video Was Meant as a Smear, but It Backfired” (news article, nytimes.com, Jan. 4):For all the old, conservative, resentful white men and their enablers who have never had their power and influence seriously challenged (especially by a woman), the election of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York — a young, well-educated, passionate woman of color — must be as frightening as it is profoundly disturbing. And as the video of her dancing reveals, it turns out that she’s also a playful, charismatic, imaginative woman with a beautiful smile who knows how to laugh and have fun. No wonder they feel threatened (and perhaps a bit envious). Deborah LiebersonCambridge, Mass.
