The radically liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called on lawmakers to stop “asking if white supremacy in policing exists” and to instead accept that it does. She also wants them to focus on determining just how big of a problem white supremacy in policing is going forward.
Ocasio-Cortez made these comments during a House Oversight and Reform hearing that was meant to focus on what the left described as the “pervasive” problem of white supremacists infiltrating the police departments in America. Law enforcement officers, legal experts, and even one former neo-Nazi testified about their personal experiences with racist police officers.
Later in the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez was given the chance to speak, and she used her time to suggest that “far too much of the discussion around the issue of white supremacist infiltration of policing focuses on whether this problem exists.”

“We have known for generations that it’s not a question about whether this problem is an issue, it’s a matter of how we have allowed it to sustain for so long,” she said. “Congress, as well, has been complicit, and our silence has allowed for more violence and continued generational trauma in our communities.”
“We have to stop asking if white supremacy in policing exists and I think we need to start figuring out how we can better determine the scale of this problem,” she added.
This just goes to show that the level of hatred that Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Democrats have for police has become so great that they see it as a foregone conclusion that police departments are “racist.”
It’s rhetoric like this from lawmakers like Ocasio-Cortez as well as from members of the media that have endangered the lives of American police officers all over the country like never before.
It should be noted that the FBI was asked to testify in the hearing, but refused. Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said “they have nothing to say because they have no evidence that this is a widespread problem demanding the FBI’s attention.”
We would have to agree with the FBI on this one.

White supremacy may exist when a black person blows the head off his neighbor and a white guy shoots him in defence.
I will accept that you're comments are bigoted and prejudice against white people.
OK, AOC! We'll stop asking, if you stop TELLING us! Good grief, do you do anything to earn your congressional pay (that WE pay for) besides moan, groan, and complain?...

AOC is an idiot. The unemployed bartender has hate for America and it's people, much like Omar. I am tired of hearing about white supremacists in the White House and police. Dems only need to say it and their followers scream about it, without any proof. We could send all of the haters somewhere else but no one wants them ruining their country. Sad that the same country that allows these people a platform is the one that they hate.

Maybe we should ask, "Does racism exist in AOC's Washington DC office?
