Rep.Ocasio-Cortez joined Jen Psaki on her show to talk about many different topics, including Speaker Johnson’s warning that if Democrats lose the House, they will target “each and every one of you.”
Cortez replied by saying, “Mike Johnson acts like this is some kind of partisan witch hunt, but if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t commit them.
And he’s basically talking about running a protection racket.”
“And we are already seeing that the Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history, covering up the Epstein files.”
“They broke the law when Congress told them to release the Epstein files.
They’re still hiding those files, protecting some of the most disturbing behavior that shocks the human conscience.”
“And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, ‘I’m the only thing standing between you and a consequence,’ that should make every American feel uneasy.”
“What he wants to do is create, or rather already has created, a system where a certain class of people can get away with any crime as long as they pay us.”
She’s absolutely right.
Trump and Mike Johnson’s Republicans have created a two-tiered justice system where you can get 30 years in prison for handling a box of left-wing magazines.
