This is the First Time I have Seen AOC Bipartisan

[tylerhergott]

99% of the time I can't stand AOC, this is the 1% I liked what she said.

[ernestodeavila]

first time i have heard AOC sound sane

[csalley]

literally the first time I've heard her speak and didn't throw up in my throat, credit where credit is earned. well said

[mr_clean]

You know you royally messed up when conservatives and AOC on the same side against you

[blacjackdaniels]

This is the same chick who called Trump a neo nazi and a racist…and even SHE is like wtf is with you, secret service?!

[jfarrell]

Not a fan of the congresswoman, but the first thing I think I've ever heard her say that I agree with.

[mimisteinacher]

I watched the hearing & was gratified
with the questions that came from both sides of the aisle. Thank you AOC! Thank you Committee!
The USSS director seemed to be bored, lacked any compassion & seemed to be completely removed from HER responsibility to Congress as well as to the nation. Shameful.

[coreylucas]

WOW. She is actually making sense for once. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED. And we need answers.

[setmdto]

This is how the Congress should always behave. They are working together for a common goal and purpose! This is the first time seeing this type of cooperation between parties and it’s beautiful

[caterinadc]

Hello, the one time I think I've ever agreed with AOC! Hear, hear!

[NaveRellim]

MTG and AOC bieng on the same page is crazy

[squiggyg.]

Wow, I think AOC has lost her mind. I like this one better…it thinks

[greghoward]

“Approximately 200 yards “ !! Why? Everyone knows its only 120-130 yards away

[carlasage]

As DJT would say, "Your Fired"
This is utterly unacceptable.
WE WANT ANSWERS NOW, NOT IN SIXTY DAYS.

[RussellShocklee-mtcm]

She actually did her job. Dude if she did this day to day she would be okay.

[steveboxmeyer]

What is today's temp in Hell? Must be sub-zero. And, are any pigs flying at Oshkosh's EAA AirVenture? Wouldn't surprise me, because I am in agreement with AOC.

[seensiinz]

You know its BAD BAD when even AOC agrees 💀💀💀

[CaseySaber]

I'm amazed Secret Service had such a small scale security team. A child was able to make it look third rate. Now everyone knows how easy it is.

[summerrecall]

Although it was gratifying to see bipartisanship at its finest here, AOC always seems to come off as an unhinged chipmunk in all her endeavors.
