US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.

“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.

“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”

Well luckily Hakeem Jeffries who she endorses is going to do nothing about it.

You've twisted her words, and she's already explained it.

The Speaker selection takes place in roughly three weeks via a fixed ballot. There are no write-ins. Candidates who want to be considered have to write a letter to the entire Democratic house caucus announcing their intention.

Right now, today, there is no one other than Jeffries on that ballot.

So explain to the rest of us how she -- or any other House dem -- can elect a different candidate for Speaker when there is no other candidate currently running.
