It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.
The full name of the account is Alexandria Ocasio-Corte Press Release (parody).
One can only see that it is labeled parody if you punch the users profile.

Government officials are distinguished on Twitter with a gray checkmark, which AOC currently has.
Twitter doesnt allow impersonation of people but it allows parody accounts.
Accounts that fail to sufficiently distinguish themselves are considered non-compliant and in violation of this policy.
