'Opening an impeachment inquiry is exactly what we must do when the President obstructs justice, advises witnesses to ignore legal subpoenas, & more. Bye,',' the New York congresswoman said on
Ocasio-Cortez said she wants the Democratic Party to pick a presidential candidate that will"fight for the well-being of working-class Americans and all Americans," later adding that she feels policies from Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren accomplish those goals.
To begin the 18-minute interview, Ocasio-Cortez was also asked on her stance towards impeaching Trump, despite Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi remaining hesitant about the move, drawing criticism from some progressive Democrats. When ABC News Chief White House correspondent Jon Karl asked about Pelosi's standing among progressives in the Democratic Party, Ocasio-Cortez answered about her personal beliefs, saying that the question of impeachment should not be about polls or elections - a possible referral to fears that if Congress were to begin impeachment proceedings then Democrats would be unable to put a president in the White House and/or take the Senate in 2020.
