Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that a controversial leaked recording of a phone call between the president and a Georgia official was cause for a second impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Ocasio-Cortez made the comments to reporters Sunday as the first day of the new session of Congress began.
“I absolutely think it’s an impeachable offense and if it was up to me, there would be articles on the floor quite quickly but he, I mean he is trying to — he is attacking our very election,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “He’s attacking our very election.”
The phone call between the president and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was obtained and published by the Washington Post on Sunday. In the call, the president asks Raffensperger to find 11,780 votes to overturn the election results.
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes,” the president is heard saying on the recording, “which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
Raffensperger said he did not record the conversation and does not know who recorded it, but he admitted that he was glad it was published because the president was making false claims about their conversation.
“You can’t keep on taking shots from people and people keep putting out stuff that’s not true,” Raffensperger said to NBC News. “And we’re gonna respond, we’re going to respond forcefully sometimes with the facts. If people can’t handle the facts, I’m sorry, but those are the facts.”
Ocasio-Cortez admitted that she had not listened to the entire hourlong recording of the phone call, but that she believed it was enough to impeach the president for a second time.
On Monday, Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu of California and Kathleen Rice of New York called on FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate the leaked call for possible criminal charges.
“As members of Congress and former prosecutors, we believe Donald Trump engaged in solicitation of, or conspiracy to commit, a number of election crimes,” Lieu and Rice said in a letter to Wray. “We ask you to open an immediate criminal investigation into the president.”
No president has been impeached more than once.

Good God but this woman really is stupid! Listen to the entire recorded phone call and you will realize, (maybe), that NOTHING unlawful was ever discussed nor did the President ask for votes that was not there. He simply asked for an honest count and for them to look into all the fraud that was discovered.
She probably doesn’t have the attention span to listen to anything except what she wants to hear.
I think she bought into the pill called stupid, what a moron!
For sure she got access authorization to use the Dominion Systems in her district. But then so did a lot of other Democrats and California is a good example of corrupt voting.
Someone needs to shut that dumb bitch up!
“He”… ?? is attacking our very election. “HE” is… ??? Not the DEMS attempting an outright coup’ on AMERICA – of all places, too!!!
HAha.. ya know: If she wasnt so DA@#*! IGNORANT, pathetic, lost…
She’d actually be funny! : /
Get ready IL Duce is coming, when will WE THE PEOPLE WAKE UP!
some one needs to put a diaper on her head and cover her dumb ass mouth
Why does the media continue to pay attention to her? She is an embarrassment to the country.
Because they are not on Trump’s side and don’t want to say ANYTHING good about him.
Trump never asked Raffensperger to find the votes, he only said HE wanted to find them because the whole Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and probably California, New York, Washington, Oregon, and New Jersey, and any other state that used the Dominion machines were probably rigged. No voting machine should be connected at any time to the internet where they can be EASILY hacked into, as was demonstrated by a computer expert (I forget his name) testifying before the Georgia state senate. The WHOLE election should be done over WITHOUT the voting machines attached to the internet and with MANY poll watchers close enough to see what is going on and I’ll bet we see a vastly different outcome.
How stupid. I just listened to the entire conversation and nothing illegal was discussed, except for the voter fraud itself. He didn’t ask for anything but for the fraud to be investigated.
I’m surprised this bitch is still breathing right. Man alive. Still a sick wacko as with all democraps
Shouldn’t she be looking at the impeachment of Joe Biden like we all are. This girl needs a swift kick up the posterior.

She probably is the one who leaked it.
