AOC already bored with impeachment: 'I'm over it'
Quote:NEW YORK — Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told constituents at a town hall that she was tired of her party's current efforts to impeach President Trump, saying it's only the first step in a broader societal overhaul.
“I think the whole thing is boring," Ocasio-Cortez, 29, said Thursday at the Queens Library event. "He should have been impeached a long time ago. I'm over it. And so that's how I feel about it because we've got work to do.”
Ocasio-Cortez is a breakout star of the House Democratic freshman class, which helped give the party its first majority in eight years. She got to Congress by beating a member of the House Democratic leadership in her 2018 primary challenge.
She's been a forceful advocate of impeaching Trump, long before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave her blessing to an impeachment inquiry effort over the president's interactions with Ukraine's leaders, which critics say aimed to use government resources to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.
"Impeachment of this president is the short-term action we need to preserve our democracy," Ocasio-Cortez said at the town hall. "But if we are really going to thrive as a country, we need to make long-term investments and keep our eyes on the prize of social and economic and racial justice in the United States of America. And that's what this is all about.”
Ocasio-Cortez did defend House Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California, who is spearheading the impeachment investigation. Schiff recently was found to have known about key details of the whistleblower and the complaint before it was filed and went public, despite telling reporters otherwise two weeks ago.
"All of this is in complete compliance with whistleblower laws, and there's nothing out of the norm from that,” she said. “This whistleblower followed all of the laws and protocols that we have established for whistleblowing and followed all the proper channels. The threat was vetted. It was passed on by the inspector general."

In regards to, "I think the whole thing is boring."
IMO, that's how she feels about actually having to work. She'd much rather be out there tweeting than you know, actually being a representative.

She's a millennial. She likely expects process, procedures and the like aren't an actual thing and just voicing instant opinions equals laws.
She's America's version of Nero.

That is an interesting comment... What about her makes her a star? Has she passed any significant legislation? Has she done anything above and beyond her peers to stand out in any real way - besides making some headlines? She hasn't even successfully defended her seat in a primary - even one time yet?
A f*cking star? Really?
