'This is outrageous, to protect the amount of lawlessness,' New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has demanded that any Republican who does not want to see President Donald Trump impeached"go on the record" with a vote and carry that"stain on their careers for the rest of their lives."
"If they want to fail it, then I want to see every Republican go on the record and knowingly vote against impeachment of this president knowing his corruption, having it on the record so that they can have that stain on their careers for the rest of their lives," she said. If an inquiry were to take place, it would likely delve further into the Trump's role in hush payments made in the lead-up to the 2016 election to two women who had claimed to have had affairs with him.
But in her comments on Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez made clear that even if the measure were to fail in Senate, it would at least provide a record of the lawmakers responsible for killing it.
