Radical Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took part in a publicity stunt for the corporate media where she accused House Republicans of an “abuse of public power” for calling Hunter Biden to testify.
Hunter was called to testify for a closed-door deposition before the House impeachment inquiry into Democrat President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
Lawmakers on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees sought to question Hunter about his father’s alleged role in their family’s foreign influence peddling and bribery business.
As Hunter testified before the committees, AOC and other controversial Democrats addressed obedient members of the press in an effort to downplay and discredit the allegations against the Bidens.
Flanked by Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD), AOC blasted House Republicans for interviewing the establishment Democrat president’s son.
However, AOC’s shameless defense of Hunter did more to highlight her change in political disposition, from a once radical leftist to a Washington D.C. swamp protectorate of the elitist Bidens.
“What we just witnessed over the last hour was, I think, a deep sea fishing expedition,” the Democrat congresswoman alleged, without providing evidence to support her claims.
“The Republican case has completely fallen apart over the last several weeks.”
Hunter is a material witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Joe Biden has denied involvement in his family business at least nine times.
The House investigation previously found a massive web of wire transfers, 20 shell companies, and associates who helped the Biden business rake in at least $24 million from foreign nationals over the course of approximately five years.
Witnesses have alleged that the Biden family received millions of dollars in bribes from foreign oligarchs.
“They [Republicans] are now trying to scramble to find anything to substantiate their fairytale — is what we should call this,” AOC alleged, despite the mounting evidence.
“But I think, more disturbingly, what we are seeing is just a complete and inappropriate expedition into the president’s son and for matters in subjects that are completely unrelated to an impeachment investigation.”
“And I think it is extremely disturbing to see the lack of professionalism [and] the lack of grounding and the abuse of public resources and abuse of public power in order to pursue something that truly, whose points at this juncture, is very unclear,” Ocasio-Cortez whined.

House investigators launched the probe into the Biden family in November 2022.
They revealed Joe Biden received money from James Biden and Hunter Biden.
They also showed that nine additional Biden family members received payments from the family’s foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren.
As Slay News reported, Hunter claimed Wednesday that his father’s involvement in the Biden business is merely a “MAGA-motivated conspiracy” despite mountains of evidence.
He used careful language during an opening statement to claim he did not involve Joe Biden, 81, in his business.
Hunter notably did not say Joe Biden was not involved in the business which witnesses have said is run by the president, not his son.
“I did not involve my father in my business,” he claimed.
