AOC dismisses polls showing disapproval of impeachment, suggests Dems should be willing to lose reelection

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., argued on Wednesday night that Congress should pursue the impeachment of President Trump despite its unpopularity among voters and "put our country first" before their jobs.

"I personally do not believe in fulfilling my obligations to my job based on polling data," Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN. "I think we need to do our job and we've been elected and sent here by the people of the United States of America to fulfill all of our obligations under the Constitution of the United States."

The freshman congresswoman stressed that the polling on impeachment took place before what she described as a "really shattering allegation" that Trump attempted to leverage foreign aid to Ukraine in order to renew an investigation into former Vice President and 2020 frontrunner Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. She also noted that the new revelations about Trump's contacts with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has "united almost the entire Democratic caucus."

Dingbat AOC is one of our best players — like Forrest Gump running the wrong way.

[oldenuff35]

She was not elected by the people of the United states. She was elected by a relative few people in her district who were deceived into thinking she was smart.

Now they know better and she will be gone after the next election.

[txnativegop]

she is definitely a zealot of the worst kind.

[txrefugee]

....says the moron who won her seat in an election with 18,000 total votes.

...suggests Dems should be willing to lose reelection

and everybody says aoc is dumb.

Ocasio-Cortez already has one Democrat and eight Republicans challengers. She is making it easy for them: she is literally writing their campaigns for them.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

In reality she won a sleepy summertime primary which the incumbent took for granted. It was a stealth victory. A hardcore socialist winning a primary in a 90% non-white left wing democrat district of welfare grifters and parasites is not much of an accomplishment.

Now you’re talking their language. Who needs this cushy $170,000 a year job? Let’s go back home and sell insurance or bartend!

[JParris]

Let’s put AOC on ignore and let her go away.

[KittyKares]

Somehow I don’t think too many Democrats are willing to lose the election.

Something she said that I can get on board with.

[ScottinVA]

What she seems to fail to understand is this little gambit of theirs will NOT culminate in the removal of Trump from office. The Senate will laugh off any articles of impeachment.

[familyop]

Who would Cortez rather see nominated—Biden or Warren?

[KobraKai]

AOC = Acting Speaker of the House

...AOC suggests Dems should be willing to lose reelection......and everybody says aoc is dumb.....

If she can get the rest of the Democrats to believe they should be willing to lose reelection......that' a good thing (cackle).

[Chickensoup]

she knows that the leftist fascists will win, by any means.

Hold onto your hats, the party is about to get rough.

[ronnie raygun]

All of a sudden this idiot bartender is a constitutional scholar

[vpintheak]

You’re far more optimistic than me. I think she has the seat until she doesn’t want it anymore.
