The fact that Socialist IDIOT Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is on the House Financial Services Committee is WILDLY embarrassing.
Why?
Because she literally has NO idea how money works. But then again…MAXINE WATERS runs things around there.
Waters decided to grandstand by hosting a hearing entitled: “Holding Megabanks Accountable: An Examination of Wells Fargo’s Pattern of Consumer Abuses.”
D’awww. Did she come up with that all on her own?
AAANYWAY. AOC decided this was an excellent time to rail against ICE and Climate Change… and it was AWKWARD.
Why? Well, it may be that people will FINALLY realize she’s WAYYYY in over her head.
According to Daily Caller:
Ocasio-Cortez used her time during the hearing to push her political agenda against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and against the fossil fuel industry.
“Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.
“I don’t know how to answer that question because we weren’t,” Sloan responded.
OH BOY. BRING ON THE POPCORN.
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asks Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan: “Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?”

“Uh, so in finan–, you’ve, you were financing, involved in debt financing in CoreCivic and GEO group, correct?” Ocasio-Cortez responded.
“For a period of time, we were involved in financing one of the firms, we are not anymore,” Sloan responded. “I’m not familiar with the specific assertion you are making, we were not involved in that.”
DAAANG.
TRANSLATION: Do you have ANY idea what you’re talking about?
And it gets worse from there.
“Should Wells Fargo be held responsible for the damages incurred by Climate Change due to the financing of fossil fuels and these projects?” Ocasio-Cortez asked.
“I don’t know how’d you calculate that, Congresswoman,” Sloan responded.
OMG. THIS IS SO FREAKING EMBARRASSING.
“Say from spills, or when we have to reinvest in infrastructure building sea walls from the erosion of, um, from the erosion of infrastructure or cleanups, wildfires, etc…,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“Related to that pipeline?” Sloan replied. “I’m not aware that there’s been any of what you’ve described that’s occurred that’s related to that pipeline.”
Growing frustrated, Ocasio-Cortez talked over Sloan as he finished answering her question, asking, “How about, uh, the cleans up from the leaks of the Dakota Access pipeline?”
“I’m not aware of the leaks associated with the Dakota Access pipeline that you’re describing,” Sloan responded.
“So, hypothetically, if there was a leak from the Dakota Access pipeline, why shouldn’t Wells Fargo pay for the clean up of it since it paid for the construction of the pipeline itself?”
“Because we don’t operate the pipeline, we provide financing to the company that’s operating the pipeline,” Sloan answered.

GLORIOUS STUFF.
Basically… she has NO idea how money works.
You screw with the big boys, they’re gonna treat you like a big girl.
And NEVER had it been more obvious that AOC simply can’t hang.
Un-freaking-believable.
