AOC calls out Mark Meadows for allegedly seeking pardon: 'He knew that he was breaking the law'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, where she spoke about the Jan. 6 committee hearing earlier in the day. Testifying at the hearing was Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
In a hearing that shed light on what went on behind the scenes on the day of the insurrection, it was also revealed that Meadows, along with Rudy Giuliani, allegedly sought pardons from former President Donald Trump. Ocasio-Cortez believes simply asking for a pardon is a pretty strong implication of guilt.
“It was just stunning to understand and see the detail and the depth through which there was also just a consciousness of guilt. They knew that what they were doing was wrong," Ocasio-Cortez said. "When at the very end of this hearing you hear that Mark Meadows, the chief of staff to the president himself, asked for a pardon because he knew that he was breaking the law in order to seize power and undermine democracy in the United States of America, it is stunning. It is absolutely stunning."
It came out last week that several House Republicans also allegedly asked Trump for a pardon, and Ocasio-Cortez believes they should face consequences.
