Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that it’s severe that prime Republicans had been utilizing Russian propaganda to attempt to impeach President Biden.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was requested about Republicans utilizing Russian propaganda within the Home and he or she answered, “Yeah, I mean, I think if you turn on any house oversight hearing in the last year, you will see Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and all these folks engaged in wildly propagandistic rhetoric. And I mean, even, let’s just rewind a second, we just went through an impeachment attempt on the President Of The United States. That was started with a source that Republicans used, that was in communication with Russian intelligence. So you have not just the, the bottom bench here, you have the chairman of the House Oversight Committee Representative Comer, take, take quote unquote evidence in account from someone who was working with the, the, the Russian intelligence and try to impeach and remove the President Of The United States over it. This is serious.”
Colbert requested if the Republicans knew that this was Republican misinformation, “How did they not know that, or did they know that this was connected to the Russians?”
AOC stated, “That I think is a very excellent question for Chairman Comer because…it is a good question because when they hauled us all into the SCIF, which is a confidential um space to look at this, we were looking at this document and it’s like all is this for real right now and they proceeded and so what they felt was in good faith or bad faith. I don’t know, but I do think that it is immensely serious that something got to this extent and got this far and has been platformed to, to the extent that it has. And thankfully under ranking member, Jamie Raskin, we were able to stop them in their tracks as well.”

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was right. Home Republicans utilizing Russian propaganda is severe, and it shouldn’t be buried or forgotten. AOC introduced up an ideal level. We will suspect whether or not or not the Republicans know that they had been utilizing Russian propaganda, however the truth that they tried to question the President with Russian misinformation is vital and shouldn’t be swept below the rug or handled like frequent data.
With out Jamie Raskin and the proficient Home Democrats on the Oversight Committee, James Comer might need gotten away with impeaching Biden with Russian propaganda. Ocasio-Cortez was additionally vital to this effort, and there must be a severe investigation into the Republican use of Russian propaganda.
