AOC claims ‘RICO is not a crime’ in testy exchange with Biden impeachment probe witness Tony Bobulinski
By Ryan King, NY Post, March 20, 2024:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was mocked online after she claimed “RICO is not a crime” during a heated exchange Wednesday with President Biden impeachment hearing witness Tony Bobulinski.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asked Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, whether he witnessed “the president commit a crime,” seeking to rebuff GOP narratives about the Biden family during the second public impeachment probe hearing.
“How much time do I have to go through it,” Bobulinski shot back before listing off several items such as “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, [Foreign Agents Registration Act].”
“What is the crime sir, specifically,” the progressive darling pressed again.
“You asked me to answer the question. I answered the question. RICO, you’re obviously not familiar with. Corruption statutes. FARA,” Bobulinski replied.
“Excuse me sir, RICO is not a crime. It is a category,” Ocasio-Cortez interjected in a somewhat condescending tone.
RICO refers to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which targets dishonest business activities such as money laundering as well as organized crime.
Former President Donald Trump and over a dozen of his allies were charged in a sprawling racketeering case out of Fulton County last August over alleged 2020 Georgia election tampering.
“Oh no, it’s a category of crime that you are then charged with,” Bobulinski rebutted.
“It’s funny, in this committee room — everyone’s not here — there’s over 18 lawyers that went to law school. I’ll leave it up to you guys to define the statute,” he added.

I doubt they voted for her. Dominion Voting Machines, remember? Bet me that most of the DNC commies did not get “voted” into office, but Dominion voted for them, which won them their positions in our government take bring America down. Every close race that a DNCommie won was probably a Dominion win. Just saying…

Look up the word imbecile in the dictionary. There’s her picture.
She’s proof of what the FBI agent W. Cleon Skousen wrote in his 1958 book The Naked Communist. IN what he called Goals of the Communists he listed in his book. Look at Goal #17:
#17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda.
Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

The Naked Communist
The 45 Goals of Communism W. Cleon Skousen Wrote About in 1958
Since the formation of the Department of Education in 1979 under Jimmy Carter’s administration, school curricula embraced socialist propaganda, diluted the standards of education, the Marxists took control of teacher associations and used textbooks written by self-defined socialists, filled with communist propaganda and revisionist history built around the social justice communist activism. Student newspapers were highjacked. Student riots “fomented public protest” against organizations they deemed as evil capitalism. (Goals #17,18,19).
Don’t forget that John Dewey was a professor at the University of Marxigan located in Ann Arbor, Marxigan, in the early 20th Century.It was Dewey that said “WE should not teach math or reading, the schools or to SOCIALISE the students.
Read the late Samuel Blumenfeld’s book NEA: Trojan Horse of American Education.
One last point, Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground, has been a college professor for how many years?
Remember when he mandated SMASHING MONOGAMY for members?
