AOC Tells Johnson Don’t Do Crimes If You Don’t Want To Be Prosecuted
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for suggesting Republican control of Congress is essential to prevent accountability for former President Trump. Johnson stated that if Republicans lose the midterms, Democrats would use congressional committees for investigations targeting Trump and his associates, framing such actions as a “partisan witch hunt.” Ocasio-Cortez countered that if individuals avoid committing crimes, they will not face prosecution, and accused Johnson of running a “protection racket” for the powerful. Other Democrats echoed these sentiments, arguing that Johnson’s remarks reveal a fear of exposure rather than a defense of innocence.
