Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the most skilled members of Congress when it comes to truth hunt

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the most skilled members of Congress when it comes to questioning witnesses.

She does her homework.


Wilbur Ross had to drag himself out of his crypt to show up for a hearing on Capitol Hill today to answer questions about census changes and previous testimony that Ross gave that probably (definitely) was a lie. In this clip AOC shows exactly why the Republicans are so terrified of her. She DID NOT COME TO PLAY. She does research, she calmly asks questions, she refuses to back down and she knows when to stop the filibustering and reach out to the Chairman for help.

The GOP and FOX News can try to insult her based on her bartending history or her youth or her age, but the reality is that she has shown herself to be one of the most brilliant members of Congress since she was sworn in just 2 1/2 months ago.

Does Ross intentionally come across as UpInArms Mar 2019 #3
No, that was Meadows' role. Ross was to play deaf, blind and senile. nt DRoseDARs Mar 2019 #5

I imagine Meadows' seeming obliviousness to things said not moments before was due to him likewise being transfixed on that woman's hair.

And no, Ms. AOC did *not* come to fuck around. I especially like how Cummings started tag-teaming with her. He was not amused with Ross or Meadows. Mr. Chairman, I too look forward to that *sworn written* statement and whatever lie they come up with for violating the law.

A hairstyle straight out of the 18th century. I got some background. This is her protest. She apparently dressed like Marie Antoinette to spoof Wilbur's dear in the lights answers when confronted about the suffering of federal workers during the shutdown. "Let them eat cake."

She has style.

...it's very obvious why they are terrified of her.

Lies do not like light.

It is SO refreshing!

I really like AOC, and wish she was my US Representative.
