Questioning witnesses in the first impeachment hearing staged by House Republicans, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez prompted each to say they were not presenting “firsthand witness accounts” of crimes committed by Joe Biden.

The New York Democrat also accused Republicans of fabricating supposed evidence of corruption involving the president and his surviving son, Hunter Biden.

Republicans on the House oversight committee called three witnesses, Democrats one.

    The entire impeachment theater is directed at low-information voters. People who will find out about the hearing and not bother to read or watch to find out it’s a nothingburger, who won’t read the accusations but just take it that there’s a scandal, and who will throw their hands up and say “both sides are the same” because they’re impeaching one another’s presidents.

      It’s okay to just say Republicans instead of low-information voters, since the Venn diagram for them is a circle.
