Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York suggested during the Hunter Biden tax crime House Oversight hearing that Americans want answers on climate change not on the Biden family.
Rep. AOC while addressing members of the House Oversight Committee stated lawmakers should focus on gun violence and climate change instead of launching a probe into Hunter Biden.
Watch AOC give her wild take here:

Earlier in the hearing AOC claimed Trump is behind the investigation into Hunter Biden:

“We are here today because Donald Trump is exerting an influence campaign,” the congresswoman said. “If we want to talk about charges that have been dismissed, and if we do want to follow the evidence, perhaps we should discuss Ivanka Trump’s investigation being charged — who was close to being charged — with felony fraud after Donald Trump’s personal attorney provided political contributions to the local DA.”
Criminal federal fraud charges were almost brought against Ivanka Trump in 2012, after learning that she and her brother Donald Trump Jr. had allegedly intentionally misled investors and buyers about the value of the Trump SoHo hotel. But the case was dropped after former President Donald Trump’s personal defense lawyer Marc Kasowitz allegedly donated to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s reelection campaign in 2012, according to a 2017 report by Business Insider.
AOC claimed that Ivanka Trump’s dismissal from the criminal case should be investigated due to the alleged evidence that Vance could have been paid off. But defense lawyers at the time claimed that Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s actions did not constitute criminal behavior.
AOC would also take aim at MTG for exposing Hunter Biden:
AOC: Today also marked a new low when pornographic images were paraded in this hearing… I don't care who you are in this country. No one deserves that. @Acyn
