Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rebuked a New York Times piece about former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rebuked a New York Times piece about former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, who was recently issued a subpoena to submit documents and testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its congressional investigation into possible obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power by President Trump.
“Like few others in the White House, Ms. Hicks was witness to some of the president’s angriest moments and most pointed directives about the investigations into the Trump campaign and its contacts with Russians in 2016,” the Times reported. “Her dilemma now is how to respond to House Democrats, who have grown frustrated and increasingly aggressive in the face of a sweeping decision by the Trump administration, and the Trump Organization, to oppose such subpoenas.
The report did not exonerate Trump on the obstruction of justice issue, despite what the president and his allies have consistently claimed. Other critics took to social media to cry foul on how the article painted Hicks, drawing distinctions between race and social status for those who face the criminal justice system. They also slammed the glamorous cover shot of Hicks in the story.
— Franklin Leonard May 26, 2019 Imagine if this were a poor, young black man refusing to comply with a subpoena & not Hope Hicks. The outrage, hysteria, and hypocrisy would be unbelievable.Hope should be arrested. 👇🏻 https://t.co/Xnqi4pd9c6
