Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — the freshman superstar — turned up the heat on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to push ahead with an impeachment probe of President Trump.

Her remarks came just days after ABC News published portions of an interview with Trump, where he said he would accept information from foreign leaders about his political opponents, igniting another political firestorm.

“I think every day that passes the pressure to impeach grows and I think that it’s justifiable,” she said on the network’s ‘This Week’ Sunday public affairs program. “With the President now saying he’s willing to break the law to win reelection, that transcends partisanship, it transcends party lines and it’s now about the rule of law.”

ABC released excerpts from her interview shortly before the entire interview aired.

Ocasio-Cortez also took a shot at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her steadfast refusal to allow impeachment proceedings to get underway, despite intense support from some parts of her Democratic caucus.

“For me, this question should not be about polls, it should not be about elections — I think that impeachment is incredibly serious,” she told interviewer Jonathan Karl asked her about polling numbers that show support growing for possibly removing Trump. “With the increasing polls, I think the American people are now recognizing, in a much broader scale, the depth and the severity of the misconduct coming out of the White House.”

When asked again about the frustration among liberals with Pelosi over impeachment, she added: “I think it’s quite real. I think there’s a very real animous and desire to make sure we are holding this president to account.”
