Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) pushed the state of New York to seize former President Donald Trump’s assets in the state if he cannot secure an unprecedented bond while he appeals the civil fraud case against him and his company. AOC made the remarks about the $464 million bond during a Sunday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “I think Attorney General [Letitia] James has been handling this case with tremendous skill‚” AOC said. “It’s ultimately up to her determination‚ but it is my belief that all people should be treated equally under the law. And if that seizure of assets would be pursued to any other American‚ then Donald Trump should be treated the same.” “As far as the political implications go‚ I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trump and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets‚ I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means‚” she said. AOC said‚ “There is a very real risk of political corruption” in Trump’s attempt to obtain the bond and referenced “interesting transactions” involving his Truth Social platform.

We’re talking about an individual who ordered essentially a terrorist attack on the Capitol of the United States in order to retain power. That is not about being a Republican. It is not about being a Democrat.” WATCH:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed on Sunday that Israel was intentionally committing a “genocide” inside Gaza and that the Hamas terrorist organization could not end the war by releasing the hostages and surrendering to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). AOC’s comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday come despite efforts by Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza‚ which is inspected to ensure that weapons are not being smuggled in to Hamas. “This word is extremely serious. It’s one that’s taken with extraordinary gravity. And‚ to me‚ the threshold of intent is a high one‚ it is a serious one and is not one that is made lightly‚” she said. She later suggested that Israel was not targeting Hamas: “But what we are seeing here‚ I think‚ with a forced famine‚ is beyond our ability to deny or explain away. There is no targeting of Hamas in precipitating a mass famine of a million people‚ half of whom are children.” When pressed by CNN host Jake Tapper about statements from Israeli officials that Hamas could end the tomorrow instantly by releasing the hostages and surrendering‚ AOC responded: “I do disagree‚ because‚ when we are talking about famine‚ the actions of Hamas should not be tied to whether a 3-year- old can eat.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The actions of Hamas do not justify forcing thousands‚ hundreds of thousands of people to eat grass as their bodies consume themselves‚” she continued. “We and the Israeli government has a right to go after Hamas‚ but we are talking about a population of millions of innocent Palestinians. We are talking about collective punishment‚ which is injustifiable (sic).” WATCH: WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper: "Israeli officials also argue this war could end tomorrow if Hamas freed the hostages and laid down the arms. Do you disagree?" AOC: "I do disagree." pic.twitter.com/hZM4nD55gu — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) March 24‚ 2024
