Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a meltdown this week after X owner Elon Must posted that she was "just not that smart." She tried to list her achievements in response, but it only showed how little she'd done and how nothing in her response rebutted the claim by Musk.
Now, during the first day of the impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden in the U.S. House on Thursday, AOC confirmed that assessment, about not being smart -- in spades.
She seemed to think that she had a big point to make when she asked George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley, the two other Republican witnesses, and a witness for the Democrats if they were "presenting any first-hand witness account of crimes committed by the president of the United States?"
AOC: Mr. Turley, simple question for you. In your testimony today, are you presenting any first-hand witness account of crimes committed by the president of the United States?

It was hilarious, as though she thought she was somehow debunking the case against Joe Biden. But none of those people were intended to be a fact witness; they were there to talk about their knowledge of the law or of investigating similar matters. You can't debunk something they aren't claiming.
Even the Democratic witness notes that he's not a fact witness at the end, puncturing AOC's ridiculous pomposity, and Turley's eye roll at about 16 seconds in is priceless. If you wanted an example of how to waste the time you have to question witnesses, this was it.
If that wasn't silly enough. then AOC tossed another fit when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was referring to an exhibit. Greene was attempting to show a picture of a woman in a bathing suit, but Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) objected, claiming that Greene had introduced "pornographic pictures" in the past that were not suitable for children. That was funny because it was a reference to her showing pictures of Hunter Biden and hookers. MTG was accusing Hunter of Mann Act violations, and of being involved in trafficking. But the Democrats don't want to address that or address anything related to Hunter or Joe Biden.

This is ironic when Democrats seem to think all kinds of pornographic books are just fine for kids to read in school. If they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
But the best part was the end where AOC tried to claim that MTG was introducing a picture of a naked woman, although MTG had just explained the woman had a bathing suit on.
"This is a picture of a woman in a bathing suit. You have glasses, do you wear them or not?" MTG said.
AOC said snippily, "I have contacts in."
MTG finished her off, snarking, "Well, congratulations."
Boom.
Greene had no patience with AOC's nonsense, and that's the best response to her. AOC wants attention and to make a spectacle of herself. Puncture the pomposity -- and expose just how silly she is.
