00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.620 align:middle line:84%
HUNTER WALKER: You
were one of the earlier

00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:03.570 align:middle line:90%
people calling for impeachment.

00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:05.850 align:middle line:84%
Do you feel like
momentum is building,

00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:08.090 align:middle line:84%
and do you feel like most
Democrats recognize--

00:00:08.090 --> 00:00:09.270 align:middle line:90%
are on the same page now?

00:00:09.270 --> 00:00:10.800 align:middle line:84%
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:
Yeah, well, clearly

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:13.410 align:middle line:84%
momentum has built.
We're knee deep

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:15.330 align:middle line:90%
here in impeachment inquiry.

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:22.320 align:middle line:84%
And so at this point, I think
we're beyond the question

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.380 align:middle line:84%
as to whether Trump
has committed a crime

00:00:25.380 --> 00:00:26.850 align:middle line:84%
or whether he's violated
the Constitution.

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.880 align:middle line:84%
He's clearly engaged in
extortion and bribery.

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.460 align:middle line:84%
Question is how many other
people in this administration

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.820 align:middle line:90%
have been engaged in similar--

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:39.130 align:middle line:84%
who are implicated in this
behavior and in this plot,

00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:40.020 align:middle line:90%
rather.

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:41.340 align:middle line:84%
And I think that's
part of the question

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:42.740 align:middle line:84%
that we're getting to
the bottom of today.

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.210 align:middle line:84%
It's not just Trump,
but who else is

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:46.770 align:middle line:90%
going to be implicated in this?

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:51.360 align:middle line:84%
And so I think when it comes
to what we've discovered,

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.990 align:middle line:90%
we're at the point of no return.

00:00:52.990 --> 00:00:54.750 align:middle line:84%
And it's just a question
of how many crimes

00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:58.200 align:middle line:84%
have been potentially
committed and who

00:00:58.200 --> 00:00:59.487 align:middle line:90%
else has committed them.

00:00:59.487 --> 00:01:01.020 align:middle line:84%
HUNTER WALKER: Now, when
we talked in El Paso,

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:02.610 align:middle line:84%
you said to me you
feel like we're headed

00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:05.069 align:middle line:90%
towards fascism here in the US.

00:01:05.069 --> 00:01:06.870 align:middle line:84%
I just heard something
similar from Al Green,

00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:10.260 align:middle line:84%
and we've seen Colonel
Vindman under threats.

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:11.820 align:middle line:84%
He may have to move
to a military base.

00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:15.150 align:middle line:84%
You've obviously been personally
singled out by this president.

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.217 align:middle line:84%
Do you think he's trying to
undermine the process at all?

00:01:17.217 --> 00:01:19.050 align:middle line:84%
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: I
think of course he's trying

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:19.950 align:middle line:90%
to undermine the processes.

00:01:19.950 --> 00:01:22.680 align:middle line:84%
He's clearly engaged in
witness intimidation.

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.920 align:middle line:84%
He has clearly threatened
not just one ambassador,

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.180 align:middle line:84%
but it seems as more evidence
comes out, quite a few people

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.070 align:middle line:84%
who have testified, he has
questioned whether they

00:01:32.070 --> 00:01:34.020 align:middle line:90%
can or should be fired.

00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:36.690 align:middle line:84%
So there's clearly a
very disturbing pattern.

00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:40.560 align:middle line:84%
I think the most clear
and disturbing of them

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.290 align:middle line:84%
all is the fact that
Stephen Miller has

00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:46.160 align:middle line:84%
just been exposed as,
frankly, a neo-Nazi

00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:47.190 align:middle line:90%
and a white supremacist.

00:01:47.190 --> 00:01:51.030 align:middle line:84%
He was citing eugenics as
a rationale for our policy

00:01:51.030 --> 00:01:51.990 align:middle line:90%
on the southern border.

00:01:51.990 --> 00:01:55.920 align:middle line:84%
And Donald Trump
clearly thinks that--

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.200 align:middle line:84%
clearly believes
in eugenics, given

00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.890 align:middle line:84%
the fact that he has
put and maintains

00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:03.200 align:middle line:84%
Stephen Miller in a position of
power after these revelations.

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.190 align:middle line:84%
HUNTER WALKER: And I actually
also just talked to Al Green

00:02:05.190 --> 00:02:06.560 align:middle line:90%
about that as well.

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.199 align:middle line:90%
I read the "Hatewatch" article.

00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.199 align:middle line:84%
Do you think there's anything
Democrats in Congress

00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:11.835 align:middle line:84%
can and should do
about Stephen Miller,

00:02:11.835 --> 00:02:14.280 align:middle line:84%
a resolution,
moving to oust him?

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.020 align:middle line:84%
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:
I think it's possible.

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.710 align:middle line:84%
We can discuss-- quite
a few members can,

00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:21.550 align:middle line:84%
and quite a few committees
if they wanted to

00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:23.580 align:middle line:84%
could bring up
hearings about this.

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:27.000 align:middle line:84%
Was our immigration policy,
particularly our policy

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.970 align:middle line:84%
at the border, inspired
by eugenics or white

00:02:29.970 --> 00:02:31.500 align:middle line:90%
nationalism directly?

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:33.750 align:middle line:84%
Certainly through
Stephen Miller's emails,

00:02:33.750 --> 00:02:34.900 align:middle line:90%
it seems like that was the case.

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:36.300 align:middle line:84%
I think we can hold
congressional hearings

00:02:36.300 --> 00:02:39.060 align:middle line:84%
to see if US policy
was, in fact, guided

00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:40.770 align:middle line:84%
by white supremacist
organizations.

00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:42.480 align:middle line:84%
I think that's a very
severe question that we

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:43.480 align:middle line:90%
need to get to the bottom of.

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:44.580 align:middle line:84%
HUNTER WALKER:
Last one for you--

00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:46.507 align:middle line:84%
do you see Stephen Miller
as a white nationalist?

00:02:46.507 --> 00:02:47.740 align:middle line:84%
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:
Absolutely.

00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:48.780 align:middle line:90%
There's no question.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.830 align:middle line:84%
And some folks on the right
tried to weaponize his identity

00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.800 align:middle line:84%
as a rationale for why he
shouldn't, but it doesn't

00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:57.540 align:middle line:90%
matter what color your skin is.

00:02:57.540 --> 00:03:01.290 align:middle line:84%
If you are citing white
nationalist and neo-Nazi text,

00:03:01.290 --> 00:03:03.840 align:middle line:84%
if you believe in eugenics,
if you have the values

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.940 align:middle line:84%
of a white
nationalist, the color

00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:08.660 align:middle line:84%
of your skin or your last name
doesn't absolve you of that.

00:03:08.660 --> 00:03:12.080 align:middle line:84%
That is who you are and what
you've chosen to embrace.

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.307 align:middle line:90%
