.RepAOC slammed RepJamesComer after a spat between the two went viral. Following a tense exchange, Ocasio-Cortez posted on Twitter about the encounter with Comer, portraying herself as getting the better of him.
During a House Oversight hearing on regulations regarding pilots, Ocasio-Cortez expressed concern over some Republicans' efforts to reduce the number of training hours required for pilots in order to solve a pilot shortage. Following a tense exchange, Ocasio-Cortez posted on Twitter about the encounter with Comer, portraying herself as getting the better of him."What’s unique about hearings is that it’s just you, a witness, and 5 unfiltered minutes.
What’s unique about hearings is that it’s just you, a witness, and 5 unfiltered minutes. You either sink or swim on your own effort.The interaction she was referring to started after she expressed her initial opposition to Republicans' proposed policy of cutting back the number of hours pilots must have in training before being certified, which was interrupted by Comer.
“I’m amused that the gentlelady is concerned about raising the age regulation that limits the age for pilots when there’s a shortage of pilots, but they’re OK with a president of the United States who’s more than 20 years older than the minimum age,” he said.“Mr. Chairman, since you’re referring to me, it’s not age. It’s training-hour time — the number of hours that an individual’s training, not the age,” she said.“Well, part of the regulation is the age as well,” Comer retorted.
Ocasio-Cortez's taunt could clear the way for further tension between the two lawmakers and further efforts from the two to upstage each other during hearings.
