Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Slams House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent House Oversight hearing on pilot regulations, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) didn&#8217;t hold back in expressing her concerns. She criticized some Republicans for their efforts to reduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-candidate-had-social-worker-license-revoked-for-violating-louisiana-regulations\/\" title=\"Dem Candidate Had Social Worker License Revoked for Violating Louisiana Regulations\">required training hours<\/a> for pilots, claiming it was a misguided solution to the pilot shortage.<\/p>\n<p>The tension between Ocasio-Cortez and Chairman Comer (R-KY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-gov-abbott-blames-biden-for-crisis-at-the-southern-border\/\" title=\"Texas Gov. Abbott blames Biden for crisis at the Southern border\">quickly escalated<\/a>, and the exchange caught the attention of many. Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the encounter, making it clear that she believed she had come out on top.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What\u2019s unique about hearings is that it\u2019s just you, a witness, and 5 unfiltered minutes. You either sink or swim on your own effort. Fox News &#038; tech billionaires can\u2019t save you here. If you\u2019re not on point, there\u2019s nowhere to hide. and that\u2019s where I wait,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s tweet was accompanied by an emoji wearing sunglasses, emphasizing her confidence in her performance.<\/p>\n<p>The interaction that sparked this response occurred when Ocasio-Cortez initially voiced her opposition to the proposed policy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-slams-james-comer-following-regulation-hearing-fight-sink-or-swim\/\" title=\"AOC criticizes James Comer after heated regulation hearing: 'Survival of the fittest'\">reducing pilot training hours<\/a>. Chairman Comer interrupted her, leading to a back-and-forth exchange.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m amused that the gentlelady is concerned about raising the age regulation that limits the age for pilots when there\u2019s a shortage of pilots, but they\u2019re OK with a president of the United States who\u2019s more than 20 years older than the minimum age,&#8221; Comer stated.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez quickly interjected, clarifying that her concern was not about age but rather the number of training hours required.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Chairman, since you\u2019re referring to me, it\u2019s not age. It\u2019s training-hour time \u2014 the number of hours that an individual\u2019s training, not the age,&#8221; she asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Comer attempted to counter her argument by mentioning that age is also a factor in the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s taunt on Twitter could potentially escalate tensions between the two lawmakers, leading to further attempts to outdo each other during future hearings.<\/p>\n<h3>GAS PRICES TODAY: WHERE TO FIND THE CHEAPEST FUEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in reading more about this story, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">click here<\/a> to visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>viral spat, Rep.
