Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has not yet been sworn into Congress, but she’s already eyeing a seat at one of the most powerful House committees in charge of taxation laws.

The Democratic Socialist’s spokesperson confirmed to Vice News that she will seek a seat on the House Ways and Means committee, which is traditionally packed with seasoned legislators with experience in writing tax code.

Rep. Joe Crawley, the top Democrat who was unseated by Ocasio-Cortez this year, was among the members of the committee. She is eyeing the exact same seat that is customarily reserved for New York City.

I think she would be a huge asset to the committee. She is young and energetic and as everyone knows coffee doesn’t fetch itself.

I completely agree with you. there is something profoundly evil emanating from this woman. Boundless aggression and something very disturbing behind those eyes. Demonic?

Pelosi is batsh!t crazy and she's been in power a long time and done a lot of damage.

Personally, I'd like to see occasional cortex relegated to the peanut gallery where she belongs.

“People are underestimating this woman.”

She’s feisty. Is she a little Trump?

be careful she has experience she stole from the tip jar at her previous employer. Could we ever imagine in a million years that the house is now controlled by these insane idiots?

I’m thinking it should be illegal for any leftist to run for office considering all the problems they cause when they are elected. It’s a constant battle with these mental misfits.

Lincoln was a Republican, so in protest, she’ll only stack the left side.

Perfect! Put the Socialist nitwit pea brain in charge of the countries finances. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s not like tax dollars are anything but Monopoly money.

In fairness I really don’t think that she is any dumber than most of them.

Give her time. She will soon be infected with POTOMIC FEVER, a sickness to horses, and new politicians in Washington when they get their first taste of POWER.

An admitted socialist (if she’s admitting to that then it tells us her views are much further left than that) on a tax law committee...BOHICA

Underestimating her because all of the things that she says which we think are stupid actually resonate with low-info voters.

I agree, this woman is very dangerous. People want to shine a spotlight on her to show how ridiculous her policies really are. But unfortunately even bigger idiots than her actually voted for her. Giving her a platform is very harmful. Just look at Pelosi and all the harm that she has done. The USA is on a downward spiral. Years from now Russia will be laughing at us. Exactly what Nikita Kruschev said they were going to do many years ago.
