Rep. Elijah Cummings pushes back as AOC demands to be sworn in before border hearing

Prior to testifying to the House Oversight and Reform Committee on the conditions of the border detention facilities, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an unusual request: she wanted to be sworn in.

Chairman Elijah Cummings obliged the New York Democrat's request, but noted, "We usually don't require a swearing in."

In a tweet explaining why she asked to be sworn in, Ocasio-Cortez said it was because Republicans had been "stating that I am lying about the translated accounts of migrants at the border."

I couldn’t decide whether or not AOC was a calculating liar but I guess she really is just plain dumb.

This is a very rookie error.

I sweat it is her job to make Biden look smarter.

A race to the bottom.

Sandy-O, the bartender with sweater puppies who served water downed drinks in the Bronx is not a very smart person.  She understand perjury,  Hell... she can't even spell it.

I guess she figures she's immune, and nobody will call her on it.

Yup!

You can take the bar bitch out of the bar,but you can't take the bitch out of her.

@Cyber Liberty

If she does,she is right about that.

Unless,of course,it is a black woman or trans that calls her on it.  Brown is below black on the Dim importance scale for the time being,but that WILL change soon,and when it does,there are going to a  lot of unhappy blacks.
