An account that reportedly belongs to Martinez’ stepfather, Salvatore Schachter, also released a statement on the matter confirming Posobiec’s reporting and saying that there will be no more Mini AOC content because of safety concerns.

The Left's Harassment and death threats have gone too far for our family. We have been getting calls on our personal phone numbers.
For our safety and for our child's safety, we deleted all Mini AOC accounts.— Mini AOC (@RealMiniAOC) July 3, 2019
Martinez’s hilarious AOC impressions had turned Mini AOC into one of the most popular political parody accounts in recent months and her Twitter account had over 81,000 followers when it was deleted.
Martinez posted her first Mini AOC video in April which perfectly parodied AOC’s look, mannerisms, and style. Following the success of the original Mini AOC video, she started a Twitter account in May and continued to produce a number of popular AOC parodies. Mini AOC’s final parody, which was posted just a few days before the account was deleted, made fun of the infamous photos of AOC visiting a migrant detention center at the US-Mexico border.
