Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry took evidence from 'Russian Intelligence' after two GOP House members said that Russian propaganda has 'infected' the party.
Late night host Stephen Colbert asked her if she agreed with the Republicans' damning assessment of their own party.
'I think if you turn on any House Oversight hearing in the last year, you will see Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and all these folks engaged in wildly propagandistic rhetoric,' the New York Democrat told Stephen Colbert.
'We just went through an impeachment attempt on the president of the United States that was started with a source that Republicans used that was in communication with Russian intelligence,' she went on.

Informant Alexander Smirnov is charged with falsely telling his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had paid President Biden and Hunter Biden $5 million each around 2015. The claim became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry of President Biden in Congress.
Smirnov´s claims have played a major part in the Republican effort in Congress to investigate the president and his family, and helped spark what is now a House impeachment inquiry into Biden.
