Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Nazis seem really comfortable with Donald Trump.

God bless the guy who is allowing Nazis and anti-Semitism to perpetrate Twitter.

Despite inspiring a bomb threat due to the right-wing incitement of violence against trans Americans in this country...

So, Twitter changed their own policy after the President violated it in order to potentially accommodate his tweet?

And something interesting happened after she overrode your assessment. A day or two later Twitter seem to have changed their policies, didn't they?

A day or two after that, Donald Trump publicly incited, you know, violence at a rally, targeting four Congresswomen, including myself, saying go back to where you came from.

This is an embarrassment, but I will go into it.

A whole hearing about a 24-hour hiccup in a right-wing political operation.

They want the ability to inject this again. So, they have dragged a social media platform here in Congress.

When we talk about arresting a witness or when we talk about, insinuating that a witness is lying without documentation, I fear that this constitutes threatening a witness and that will broach the rules of decorum of this Committee, and I…

I want to clarify for the record what is the Committee's policy around threatening a witness?

I think the American people need -- for any potential candidate -- and again, this is an official, you know, speech that he is delivering as President of the United States. But, you know, I do think that in any candidacy, we need to see…

I think that all leadership, again, is about that strong, ambitious vision. And if that is a subtext of tonight, I think one of the things that we're going to have to hear is a commitment to really big, bold animating ideas, whether it is…

You know, I think that he's also been struggling with this narrative around Republicans possibly attempting to cut Social Security and Medicare. And well, on one hand, he is saying that's not going to happen; on the other, the math simply…

I think that there may be some Republicans that are willing to work with the administration. I do believe that Kevin McCarthy has already demonstrated a struggle in keeping his caucus together, which again, all of that plays into potential…

I hope to hear a really strong vision from the President about not just what we've done so far, but also our plans on executing on the enormous goals and successes that we've had in the last one to two years between the Inflation Reduction…

I do not anticipate this Republican majority being able to do much or be effective beyond engaging in political stunts, and that is to the detriment of Americans, both Republican and Democrat, as well as Independents because things are not…

Kevin McCarthy has already burned through month one doing nothing, no Committees formally organized. He burned a week becoming Speaker of the House. These first six months, he cannot afford to lose that kind of time.

I do not know I cannot -- I cannot speak into Kevin McCarthy's mind, but it certainly should have been a consideration as Speaker of the House that he should have taken into account.

I mean, we may see. He will either be the nominee or he will burn down anyone who isn't him who is the nominee.

This is not just about a tweet, it is about what life looks like, and the marshaling of hundreds, thousands if not millions of people into doing something and Donald Trump knows that very well.

I think Speaker McCarthy gets a fundraising boon. I think he gets potentially currying favor with either Trump and his base saying, I delivered on these promises.

Consistency, there is nothing consistent with the Republican Party's continued attack, except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body.

This was about petty politics. But also, I think it's also important to state that this was not just about Republicans trying to feed a base that they have already primed for years under Donald Trump with racism, misogyny, xenophobia…

I had a Member of the Republican caucus threaten my life, and you all, and the Republican Caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious Committee assignments in this Congress.
