WATCH: AOC Melts Down During Impeachment Hearing, Spews Baseless Conspiracy Theory: ‘Fabricated Image!’

During Thursday’s House impeachment inquiry hearing, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) seemingly lost her composure, accusing Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) of presenting “fabricated” text messages from Hunter Biden that hint at a grave allegation.

Rep. Donalds (R-FL) pulled back the curtain on a series of text messages shared between Hunter and other members of the Biden family. The texts hinted at a veil of questionable business dealings aimed at safeguarding President Joe Biden.

Earlier today, Biden’s impeachment hearing kicked off with a text exchange between Jim Biden and Hunter Biden. Donalds read aloud, “In this text message it clearly says, ‘Anyway, we can talk later, but you’ve been drawn into something purely for the purpose of protecting ‘dad.’”

AOC’s claim of an altered text, however, came across as an attempt to divert the narrative amidst a heated discussion on the impeachment inquiry’s legitimacy. The theatrics reached a pinnacle when AOC vehemently claimed that a displayed image of text messages from Hunter Biden was not the “actual direct screenshot,” but a fabricated one.

“I don’t know where it came from. I don’t know if it was the staff of the committee, but it was not the actual direct screenshot from that phone,” she claimed.

It is common practice for committees to utilize graphics highlighting certain portions of evidence in order for viewers to read the text.

Ocasio-Cortez stressed the importance of relying on “bona fide” words from the witnesses present, seemingly attempting to discredit the information brought forth by Rep. Donalds. However, her claim of fabrication and her plea to submit what she held as the authentic exchange did little to overshadow the serious questions being raised about the Biden family’s alleged illicit dealings.

The scrutiny didn’t end there. A subsequent text between Hunter and Naomi Biden was brought to light. Donalds elaborated on the text where Hunter laments about financially supporting the family for 30 years.

Hunter had stated, “I hope you all do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry. Unlike pop, I won’t make you give me half your salary.”

The President has consistently rejected accusations of his engagement in foreign business transactions alongside his son, who is persistently in discussions with federal prosecutors concerning charges of illicitly hiding earnings derived from those dealings.

Meanwhile, House Republicans have argued that Joe’s previous claims, especially outright rejections of Hunter profiting from foreign entities including China, place him in a precarious position.
