US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
My question was rhetorical. You said there wouldn’t be pressure. There obviously is, including in the direction I prefer. Your doomerism is annoying. People on the left are working to change things. The NPVIC is pretty old, so the pressure from the left has obviously been around for quite a while, and it’s stronger now than ever before.
Once a party actually wins the presidency, pressure drops.
