Republican rep. blasts Ocasio-Cortez over 'Soviet style secret hearings' and she is not happy about it at all
Hey @AOC I thought you supported Open and Transparent government. Truth is for @AOC the ends justify the means and she gladly reverts to Soviet style secret hearings in the Capitol basement. Socialism and one-sided Kangaroo Courts have no place in the #USA #ExposeSchiffSCIF https://t.co/GqBQiCLlyy— Rep. Alex Mooney (@RepAlexMooney) October 24, 2019
"Socialism and one-sided Kangaroo Courts have no place in the #USA," he added.
Ocasio was criticizing Republicans for what many Democrats called a "political stunt," when they stormed an impeachment hearing at a security area called a SCIF, or Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility.
She lashed out at Mooney with another tweet.
Rep. Mooney, you & I both know that when a massive crime is committed, the 1st step is to separate witnesses & get their stories to see what adds up.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 24, 2019
You know that making these depositions public will help potential criminals line up their testimony.
Why do you want to do that? https://t.co/PvIPHTah2V
"You know that making these depositions public will help potential criminals line up their testimony," she added. "Why do you want to do that?"
Republicans have accused the investigatory process from the Democrats of lacking in transparency and violating the due process rights of the president. Mooney was among those who confronted Democrats at their hearing.
