Rep. Alexandria Ocansio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is being accused of having a “breakdown” during a House hearing while questioning a witness.
During a hearing on the allegations of corruption involving the Biden family on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez asked Tony Bobulinksi — a former business partner of Hunter Biden — if he was asserting in his testimony that he saw President Joe Biden commit a crime.
When he began to respond without any immediate answer, the New York congresswoman interjected, “Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony today…”
“Yes,” Bobulinski responded.
When asked for a specific crime, he asked, “How much time do I have to go through this?”
“It is simple, you name the crime. Did you watch him steal something?,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back.
Bobulinski answered by citing the R.I.C.O law, but Ocasio-Cortez asked, “What is the crime, sir? Specifically.”
“Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir, R.I.C.O is not a crime,” she said. “It is a category. What is the crime?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “Alright, sir. I reclaim my time. I reclaim my time. I reclaim my time. Thank you, sir. I reclaim my time. Clearly, what we are seeing here today is a continuation of the 15 month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert.”

By "grills," Aaron means she had a mental breakdown after he answered her question. https://t.co/b50Qj7D0p1

AOC has channeled her passion for universal healthcare and Palestinian independence into something more productive like defending the president’s millionaire son https://t.co/M0I72eJYVJ

So the fun new standard is if there were no direct witnesses, then there is no crime. https://t.co/IDwsCnS9Ls

She sounds like every DUI Karen I see in police body cam footage screaming at the cops as they stuff her in a squad car. “WHAT AM I BEING ARRESTED FOR?!” https://t.co/qdODZL6aKK
