Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., details why he is supporting Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's bid for House Oversight Committee ranking member.
During an interview on 'Fox News Live,' Sunday, House Oversight Chairman and member of the GOP, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threw his support behind committee member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic congresswoman from New York is seeking to take the ranking member from fellow Democrat Jamie Raskin. The Kentucky Republican explained his endorsement after being questioned by co-anchor Arthel Neville.
think that if you look at the current leadership with the oversight committee on the Democrat side, they've had Jamie Raskin leading them. So the Democrats have nowhere to go but up. Jamie Raskin has been wrong. AOC LAUNCHES BID FOR TOP DEMOCRATIC ROLE ON HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE Yeah, well, she's better spoken. Look, I think that, you know, the Democrats are turning on AOC. My endorsement of AOC is probably hurting her, which… I think is amusing. They're wanting to go back to another boring old guy like Gerry Connolly. But look, AOC is, you know, I think she represents a big segment of the Democratic Party that believes in socialism, that believes in the Green New Deal, that believes in Wokeism.
Well, look, you know, I mean, lucky for her, she's in the minority, so she doesn't really have to display a lot of leadership qualities. All they're going to do is try to complain and obstruct and do things like that. But I think AOC is the best they got, if that tells you anything about the Democrats on the Oversight Committee. I think AOC is the best they got.
