Ocasio-Cortez said Trump's comments that he was open to accepting foreign help for 'dirt' on 2020 rivals shows members of Congress have a 'duty' to at least consider impeachment.
Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly pushed back on Karl suggesting impeachment tactics could be a political"win" or"favor" to Trump should they be unsuccessful in finding evidence or failing to get enough votes in the Republican-held U.S. Senate, where removing the president would require a two-thirds majority; a virtual impossibility at the moment.
"If we're talking about what's going to be a victory for Trump and what's not going to be a victory for Trump, then we are politicizing and we are tainting this process," she added. Ocasio-Cortez went on to note Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has blocked several election security bills in recent weeks.
She reiterated it's not just progressives or more liberal members of the Democratic Party who realize"this is about the rule of law... holding this president to account is holding all of government to account."
