Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) pressured Republicans to name the specific crime they are accusing President Biden of as they proceed with their impeachment inquiry.
Ocasio-Cortez noted the recent arrest of a former FBI informant for lying to the agency, fabricating the claim that Biden accepted a bribe while vice president to take actions to benefit the Ukrainian energy company his son served on the board of.
“At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’” she asked, saying Republicans have “no charges.”
“I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with. I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem,” she said.
Glad she calling them out. To bad she talking to a brick wall they don’t care about charges they just want a distraction from all the bullshit they are doing.
Yes, Democrats allow way too much Republican nonsense to happen without challenging it. Maybe they assume citizens will realize how asinine it is but that isn’t working.
I dont think it matters what Dems do in response to Republican antics like this. All any Republican is looking for is a quick 10 sec clip they can play on loop that makes them look good or Dems look bad. Media has become so fragmented that people disagree on basic facts. It wouldnt matter what a Dem said or did, it will never pierce the right wing media bubble.
What they can do is cut off all oxygen. No one action is going to fix it, but they need to be deplatformed starting at the top and working downward, cut off funding anywhere possible: fix citizens united, don’t debate them without having control of the microphone, etc
If the GOP truly wanted to big dick this, they’d pin Biden’s ears for supporting Israel’s genocide in violation of a litany of UN treaties.
But it can’t be for anything real. It’s always gotta be “Joe Biden snorted coke off his son’s illegal immigrant during a trans pedophile abortion that raises your taxes.”
He can’t be held responsible for another country’s actions. The US has supplied Israel long before Biden and will do so longer after. They are an ally for a reason. They have the power to help stop many nations if they decide to do something very rash.
He is holding a status quo that has been around for a long time. Should that change? Maybe. But he is not solely responsible for the inner workings of diplomacy for over 50 years.
The US has supplied Israel long before Biden and will do so longer after.
But also during. Which makes it Biden’s responsibility
