There are a number of things I admire about AOC, but this is a terrible take, IMO.whoknew said:I know a lot of people complained about the hearings yesterday.
Interesting tweet just now from AOC - "The root of the problem is not necessarily format. It’s that there‘s so much pressure on members of both parties to spend time fundraising that it takes time away from deeply studying and preparing for hearings. If you want hearings to be better, get money out of politics."
"I wasn't able to prepare for this hearing because I was too busy fundraising, so I'm going to spend my time asking the witness basic questions to help me get up to speed" would be fine.
"I wasn't able to prepare for this hearing because I was too busy fundraising, so I'm going to grandstand and bluster and bloviate and bellow as stupidly and annoyingly as possible" is still dumb.
