Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Thursday doubled down on her claims that RICO is not a crime.
Biden Crime Family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski on Wednesday testified before Congress in a hearing on Joe Biden’s international influence-peddling scheme with Hunter Biden’s former business associates.
At one point, Democrat thought leader and former barmaid AOC demanded Bobulinski name crimes he personally witnessed Joe Biden commit.
Bobulinski named off several crimes including RICO – Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act – a federal law that allows for sweeping penalties.
In a desperate attempt to defend Joe Biden, AOC absurdly claimed RICO isn’t a crime.

Harvard Law School grad and GOP Senator Ted Cruz schooled AOC.
“This is bizarre. RICO—the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968—is most assuredly a crime,” Ted Cruz said.
“It often results in massive felony sentences. And yet AOC —eager to defend Joe Biden—insists it’s not a crime,” Cruz added.

AOC doubled down on her stupidity:
Wrong!
RICO is a statute under which specific crimes may be considered – kidnapping, robbery, arson, etc.
You need to name the crimes in order to substantiate RICO.
So… since you’re the expert, what RICO crimes and evidence does House GOP have? Since they don’t seem to know.

The former barmaid got pummeled by a bunch of lawyers and conservative commentators.
They are called predicate offenses. You used to have that smart guy run your account. What happened to him?

Predicate acts under RICO crime by Biden crime family include wire fraud & money laundering.
