‘I’m a big AOC fan,’ Comer said. ‘Obviously, I don’t agree with much of her policy, but I think she’s a good person. I think she’s very well-spoken.’
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said during an interview with CNN on Thursday that he thinks Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may be a good fit for the top democrat spot on the panel, citing his contentious history with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md).
“I’m a big AOC fan,” Comer said. “Obviously, I don’t agree with much of her policy, but I think she’s a good person. I think she’s very well-spoken.
“I think we’ll have a good working relationship.”
The seat on the House Oversight Committee opened up when Raskin left his post to be the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
Comer also said he “did not have a good relationship with Jamie Raskin.”
“I don’t think that’s any secret. I tell the press when they ask about the race for ranking member, the Democrats have nowhere to go but up after having [Rep. Jamie Raskin] for the last four years. So I think AOC would be great,” he said.
