See what I mean?One of the Democratic Party's rising starlets, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, confirmed her party's impeachment campaign against President Trump is based on fear their candidates could not defeat him in the 2020 election.
Cortez, who previously has made wild claims such as "the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don't address climate change" and the nation has to spend trillions of dollars on her radical "Green New Deal," was interviewed by CNN after the impeachment hearing Wednesday led by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
She also previously insisted on subpoenas for certain members of the Trump administration with security clearances because she feared they will be "putting nuclear codes in Instagram DMs."
She's harping on the emoluments clause now. I seriously doubt if she actually knows what that's all about. She might be right about impeachment being the party's election strategy, but unless she's cleared this with Botox Nancy, I'm not going to put much stock in the idea.Now she says her party has "to be able to come together as a caucus, and if it is this Ukrainian allegation that is what brings the caucus together, then I think we have to run with however we unify the House."
And that party unity is needed for what purpose?
"We also need to move quite quickly because we're talking about the potential compromise of the 2020 elections. This is not just about something that has occurred, this is about preventing a potentially disastrous outcome from occurring next year," she said.
The Washington Examiner described her comment as an admission "that the Democrats' efforts to investigate President Trump are, in part, meant to prevent him from winning reelection in November 2020."
She said she's already convinced Trump committed impeachable offenses.
"I personally do believe that the president has engaged in flagrant violations of the emoluments clause. I'm concerned that we would allow this corruption to continue," she said. "But at the end of the day, we have to be able to come together as a caucus, and if it is this Ukrainian allegation that is what brings the caucus together, then I think we have to run with however we unify the House."
Actually, she has demanded the president's impeachment since even before she formally was added to Congress.
