AOC: 'I want to see every Republican go on the record and knowingly vote against impeachment'

“We have to do our job,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Tuesday. “Once the House impeaches, the House has impeached the president and then that hearing goes to the Senate.

One argument offered by some anti-impeachment Democrats is that there’s little chance the Republican-controlled Senate would reach the two-thirds majority needed to remove Trump from office, enabling him to claim vindication as he runs for reelection.

Story continuesAfter the report by special counsel Robert Mueller, it was widely believed the numerous instances of possible obstruction of justice by the president would be the focus of an impeachment inquiry. Democrats have also raised the possibility of investigating allegations of insurance fraud, dubious tax schemes and money laundering by Trump’s businesses.

Beginning an inquiry would not necessarily lead to impeachment, which is analogous to a criminal indictment and if approved by the House would lead to a trial in the Senate. The House would first investigate whether there was sufficient evidence that the president had met the standard in the Constitution of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

A racist and anti-Christian, anti-Jewish zealot clown is going to 'teach' Americans the rules, eh?

Isn't there a impeachment hearing part where evidence and argument occur? Wouldn't you decide AFTER that? Seems you already have. Or do you just decide 'go' next Tuesday or so because you hate him?

Such an idiot. Wow. A bartender in Congress. This is America Anybody, means anybody can be a congress person. The problem is that they are in congress and they do not represent us (the people) and what we want. Thugs

Yes he should be removed from office & also jailed like the clueless Jewish guy he sent to jail for hush money payments. Where is the equal justice under law crap?

Sadly, a lot of Dems will too.

AOC is the crazy!

With about 94% republican approval I'm not sure all of them will but at least 94% will most likely. On a side note, congress really needs to be drug testing people who have been saying really incoherent things. Start with AOC please we want to know what she's on 😂
