Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., NY) told supporters during a town hall in Queens on Thursday that impeachment proceedings against President Trump were “boring” and distracted from the goal of “social and economic and racial justice in the United States of America.”
“He should have been impeached a long time ago. I’m over it. And so that’s how I feel about it because we’ve got work to do,” she said, before going on to argue that “impeachment of this president is the short-term action we need to preserve our democracy, but if we are really going to thrive as a country, we need to make long-term investments.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who has long been an advocate of impeaching the president, also pushed back against allegations of misconduct by House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), who apparently learned of the whistleblower complaint before it was filed, according to a New York Times report.
“All of this is in complete compliance with whistleblower laws, and there’s nothing out of the norm from that,” she said. “This whistleblower followed all of the laws and protocols that we have established for whistleblowing and followed all the proper channels. The threat was vetted. It was passed on by the inspector general.”
The night was marked by an incident involving an apparent stunt pulled by a member of the pro-Trump LaRouche group, who demanded in a comment that people need to “start eating babies” to combat climate change.
20 “We only have a few months left. I love that you support the Green New Deal, but getting rid of fossil fuel is not gonna solve the problem fast enough,” the woman ranted, as Ocasio-Cortez remained calm before giving a measured response.

Did her 10 nanosecond attention span kicked in?
AO-C is over the impeachment thing? So, is she going to vote AGAINST proceeding with this kangaroo court “inquiry”?
Didn’t think so. AO-C just has a limited attention span. Somebody brings it up tomorrow, she will be all enthusiastic again.
Comparing AOC to a house plant is very unkind to house plants everywhere. How dare you.
I bet she blew lots of whistles while tending bar.
It would be nice to think she was rational enough to think ‘impeach’ was a bad idea but ... I’m sure the likely reason is she has the attention span of a gnat.
Yeah, that’s the first halfway sensible thing I’ve heard her say.
What a ditzy broad!
And I bet she was a lousy bartender too — the kind who thinks a Manhattan is whiskey and sweet vermouth with a cherry. Hate to tell you this, Sandy, but without the bitters, it ain’t a Manhattan.
“Math is hard. Let’s go shopping.”
She set Pelosi up. Now Pelosi looks like the idiot, and AOC moves on in....assuming she survives re-election.
Strangely enough, those are the same feelings I have about her.
The thing is, this stupid narcissistic is not the center of attention, so she’s bored. She’s so tedious.
Just so you know, Republican, Indy, and one suspects many disaffected Dem voters are not at all bored by your deceit and irresponsibility; and, we/they are not, and will not be "over" this.
Political ad sound bites coming to a station near you.
.
it’s because she’s not the center of attention everyday with the impeachment hoax running amuck. plain and simple
I hope Nancy heard AOC give her orders that impeachment is boring so she can stop.
Impeachment is passé. A straight up coup is where they’re heading.
maybe she is smarter than she looks/acts. this could be a bad thing
She is quite the narcissist isn’t she?
...or a walk in the park.
She started a dumpster fire and wants to do other “stuff” now.
Adam Fuller-Shiff?
