Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was mocked online after she claimed “RICO is not a crime” during a heated exchange Wednesday with President Biden impeachment hearing witness Tony Bobulinski.

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asked Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, whether he witnessed “the president commit a crime,” seeking to rebuff GOP narratives about the Biden family during the second public impeachment probe hearing.

“How much time do I have to go through it,” Bobulinski shot back before listing off several items such as “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, [Foreign Agents Registration Act].”

“What is the crime sir, specifically,” the progressive darling pressed again.

“You asked me to answer the question. I answered the question. RICO, you’re obviously not familiar with. Corruption statutes. FARA,” Bobulinski replied.

  1. I think her question pertains specifically to identifying the crime itself. RICO, rather than being a standalone law, is an acronym representing a set of statutes. Therefore, she's correct in pointing out that RICO isn't a crime per se. Instead, it delineates various violations one might commit. Describing someone as being arrested or charged for 'RICOing' might be somewhat misguided.

  2. If it’s not a crime and a catagory then release every Italian American detained 50 years for there crimes

  3. RICO is a “Statute”. You need to name the crime in order to substantiate RICO. AOC is 100% correct!

  4. How, just how is this girl in office? Seriously USA? This is a direct reflection on our voting abilities and this has to be one of the worst we have made. Get her out of office immediately and while were at it, lets look into how she went from not having 2 dimes to rub together to a multi millionaire just from being in office…

  5. RICO IS NOT A CRIME

    The RICO statute expressly states that it is unlawful for any person to conspire to violate any of the subsections of 18 U.S.C.A. § 1962. The government need not prove that the defendant agreed with every other conspirator, knew all of the other conspirators, or had full knowledge of all the details of the conspiracy…

  6. She asked for the specific crime under the RICO classification he says he witnessed Biden commit. He had no specifics. It's no different that being charged with a crime within the VICE classification. Nobody is charged with VICE. They are charged with prostitution or drug trafficking, which are within the VICE classification. You don't need specifics when you're just trying to spread innuendo or conspiracy theories, which is all the GOP can do.

  7. Honey, Watch Molly's Game & Learn law regarding RICO indictments, in film CAT-AH-GORE-EEE of true stories. I'm so glad at least you know so many vocabulary words. It's not your fault that you were absent the day brains were given out.

  8. RICO is not a crime it is a law, and Act and statute. There are 35 different crimes under the RICO law, that's what she's asking, what is the crime that Biden committed that falls under the RICO law. You can be charged with RICO, but there has to be an underlying crime related to the RICO law to be charged with RICO.

  9. Come on guys.. She thought you said Chico not RICO. That explains the whole thing. Chico is not a crime in her district. That explains all the illegal aliens in her district.

  10. Both sides agree RICO is a category of crimes. The question AOC is asking is which one did he witness? How is this complicated?

  11. Typical democrat, ask a question with a simple answer with no attention of listening to it, much less accepting it.

  12. RICO is not a crime. RICO is a category that includes a number of different criminal acts.
