Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday night over Gabbard’s impeachment vote.
Ocasio-Cortez spoke out after Gabbard, a 2020 presidential candidate, voted “present†on impeachment articles against President Donald Trump. Gabbard also did not give a 30-second to one-minute speech about her vote as most of her Democratic colleagues did.
“Today was very consequential, and to not take a stand one way or another, on a day of such great consequence to this country, I think is quite difficult,†Ocasio-Cortez told reporters Wednesday night after the vote, according to the New York Post.
“We are sent here to lead,†she added.
