Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says there are “so many” reasons to impeach Donald Trump, and that she supports the idea of doing so.
“I think you could reach in a bag and pull so many things out that are impeachable of this president. I support impeaching this president,” the freshman congresswoman said on Sunday in an interview with Yahoo News.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez continued to say that she is likely going to sign on to a resolution introduced by Representative Rashida Tlaib calling for an investigation into whether the president had committed an impeachable offence.
She had previously been non-committal on the issue.
“We hadn’t signed on when it was first introduced, but we probably will,” Ms Ocasio-Cortez said. “Well take a look into it.”
Ms Ocasio-Cortez has recognised previously that impeaching the president is unlikely, since the measure would almost surely be knocked down by Republicans who control the Senate.
But Ms Ocasio-Cortez has not hid her contempt for Mr Trump, either, and has frequently been the target of his allies’ derision on Twitter and on Fox News.
