AOC Thinks RICO Isn’t a Crime in Heated Exchange With Former Hunter Associate

Laugh. Out. Loud.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t know that the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act is a crime.

During a Biden impeachment hearing, the woman got into a heated exchange with Hunter Biden’s former associate, Tony Bobulinski. She couldn’t stand it when he tried to correct her because God forbid!

You guys. I cannot even with this person (emphasis mine):

OCASIO-COREZ: “Mr. Bobulinski, I — I heard your opening statement. It’s submitted to the record part of our proceedings. I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?”
BOBULINSKI: “I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal —”
OCASIO-COREZ: “Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony today?”
BOBULINSKI: “Yes.”
OCASIO-COREZ: “And what crime? Do you — have you witnessed.”
BOBULINSKI: “How much time do I have to go through it?”
OCASIO-COREZ: “It is simple. You name the crime. Did you watch him steal something?”
BOBULINSKI: “Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, FARA —”
OCASIO-COREZ: “What is it — what is — what is the crime, sir?”
BOBULINSKI: “You — you won’t —”
OCASIO-COREZ: “Specifically —”
BOBULINSKI: “You just — you keep — you asked me to answer the question. I answered the question.”
OCASIO-COREZ: “No. “
BOBULINSKI: “RICO, you’re obviously not familiar with. Corruption statutes.”
OCASIO-COREZ: “Excuse me, sir! “
BOBULINSKI: “FARA —”
OCASIO-COREZ: “Excuse me, sir! Excuse me, sir! RICO is not a crime. It is a category.”

Bobuilinski tried to correct her, “It’s a category of crimes that you are then charged under.”

Oh, man. I guess Trump and his co-defendants shouldn’t face any charges in Georgia.

Rep. AOC asks Tony Bobulinski to list the crimes he witnessed Joe Biden commit.

Tony Bobulinski lists the crimes: corruption statutes, RICO, conspiracy, FARA.

AOC then says RICO is not a crime.🤦

AOC broken in Hunter Biden hearing.

So broken in fact, she claims RICO isn’t a crime. Well… empty the jails!

Oh and for the record, all the defendants in the Georgia case brought by Fani Willis falls under RICO.
