Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (R-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In” that House Republicans should be investigated for their conduct. According to Ocasio-Cortez, there were questions about ethics during the impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. Discussing the hearing earlier today, anchor Chris Hayes said, “This was a really striking moment. There was larger text that altered what that conversation about getting a job was really about. How did you catch that? And what does it say that that is the evidence that they are using in this, their first impeachment inquiry?”

But perhaps her greatest battle was as a tough-questioning prosecutor in the Watergate case that helped bring an end to the presidency of Richard Nixon.

Wine-Banks said she was initially hesitant to use the word “girl” in the title, but realized that it accurately conveyed the sexism...
