She didn't just lay out a clear case for possible tax fraud, and why the House needs financial disclosure forms and tax returns.
She did it while crediting two other "Colleagues" by state, saying that she was following up on their questions.
She sure knows how to "win friends and influence people."

(2,192 posts)I don't agree with a lot of her positions, but she is ALWAYS prepared, and she was laser focused today.
I figure that it's the job of young people to reach for positions that older people, like myself, might not think are possible.

Normally the right wingers attack her but they've been strangely silent tonight on the sports sites I frequent, so that must be a sign they acknowledged she was effective. There was even one thread debating her looks, with marks ranging from 6.5 to 9 on a 10 scale, and 8 as most common.
After the questioning CNN kept the camera on Ocasio-Cortez. She stopped and greeted another female. They had a long warm chat with plenty of smiling.
