Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., raised legal experts’ eyebrows after claiming that “RICO is not a crime” while she questioned former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski in a House hearing.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett joined “FOX & Friends” on Thursday to respond to statements from the New York Democrat at the Biden impeachment probe hearing.
“It’s absolutely a crime. 18 U.S.C. 1961 through 68. She might try bothering to read it. … Just add it to the growing list of stupefying remarks by her. This one is truly mind-boggling. The very word ‘racketeering’ in the [RICO] acronym conjures up serious criminality. But this is a pattern with AOC. Whenever she opens her mouth, she tends to embarrass herself with a fundamental lack of knowledge,” said Jarrett.
“Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?” AOC asked while staring down Bobulinski at the hearing.
However, before Bobulinski could even answer, he was cut off by the animated progressive representative, repeating the same question to him.
