The witness, Tony Bobulinski, a former enterprise affiliate of Hunter Biden, was challenged to explicitly state that he was testifying that the President had dedicated a criminal offense.
“Is it your testimony at the moment that you simply personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a criminal offense?” AOC demanded.
Bobulinski tried to answer within the affirmative solely to be minimize off by the New York Democrat who demanded specifics.
“How a lot time do I’ve to undergo it,” he fired again earlier than testifying that the President had run afoul of “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act].”
“What’s the crime sir, particularly,” Ocasio-Cortez insisted, dismissing these he had simply talked about.

AOC: RICO Is Not A Crime
As wild as that scene was, the takeaway got here when AOC declared – confidently, thoughts you – that “RICO. Isn’t. A Crime.”
“It’s a cat-e-gory.”
Which can come as a pleasing shock to former President Donald Trump who was hit with RICO costs in his Georgia alleged election interference case.
“Excuse me sir, RICO will not be a criminal offense. It’s a class,” AOC shot again. She used a cadence usually reserved for her TikTok Ted Talks.
“Oh no, it’s a class of crime that you’re then charged with,” Bobulinski helpfully defined.
“It’s humorous, on this committee room — everybody’s not right here — there’s over 18 attorneys that went to legislation college. I’ll depart it as much as you guys to outline the statute.”
RICO, or the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, is certainly a federal legislation in the USA aimed toward combating organized crime. It permits for the prosecution of people concerned in a prison enterprise, together with those that could not have immediately dedicated the crime however performed a job within the group.

What a show. There’s little doubt AOC, if she re-watched that change and had the potential of understanding what simply occurred, could be humiliated.
One can simply inform by her physique language – the pinnacle sway, for instance – that she thinks she’s again on the bar arguing with a patron as a substitute of making an attempt to make some extent in a congressional chamber.
She merely doesn’t have the capability to intellectually perceive what she is saying.
AOC first thought Bobulinski wouldn’t flat-out say “sure” to the query of whether or not or not President Biden dedicated a criminal offense. Oh, however she had a backup plan. ‘There’s no approach he’d be capable of cite particular crimes,’ she thought.
Subsequent step, as soon as she realized he was doing simply that, speak over him and repeatedly ask him to say what he’s already stated. When the meltdown reaches it’s climax, spit out one thing fully and provably false … however say it with gusto. They gained’t know you don’t have any thought what you’re speaking about so long as you’re assured when saying it.
Ok for a junior excessive debate crew. Not adequate for a congresswoman. Which is virtually a abstract of her whole profession to this point. Not adequate for Congress.
Go forward and watch that first clip above another time. This time, take note of the individuals behind Bobulinski. A number of individuals break up in laughter at AOC’s makes an attempt to throw Bobulinski off and declare that RICO will not be a criminal offense.
One, to his left, whips out his cellular phone when he realizes the congresswoman is having a meltdown worthy of posting to social media.
In a profession stuffed with embarrassing moments, AOC gave one for the ages yesterday.
