Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in a new interview that the GOP is being held “hostage” – and that Republicans are refusing to speak up on a host of issues, including an impeachment of President Trump.

When asked by Rolling Stone if she would vote to impeach the president, the self-described Democratic socialist said: “Yeah. No question.”

“I don’t even know why it’s controversial. I mean, OK, it’s not that I don’t know why it’s controversial,” she said. “I understand that some people come from very tough districts where their constituents are torn. But for me and my community in the Bronx and Queens, it’s easy.”

The 29-year-old continued: “In the Republican Party, there’s a hostage situation going on. There are a lot of Republicans that know what the right thing to do is — not just on impeachment but on a wide range of issues — and they refuse to speak up.”

She called the status quo “an unacceptable position, because we’re not in the realm of politics anymore. These are not questions of politics. These are questions of society. These are questions of equal treatment. These are questions of civil rights.”

The socialist darling shot down the argument that some lawmakers have different intentions “behind closed doors” despite voting with the president.

“The problem is that if they vote the same way, what does it matter? I don’t care what’s in your heart if how you are voting is the same as someone who is actually racist,” she said.

“I am tired of people saying, ‘I’m gonna vote the same way as bigots, but I don’t share the ideology of bigots.’ Well, you share the action and the agenda of bigots. We need to hold that accountable.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a prolific user of social media, was asked about those who have compared her to Trump in that regard.

“Well, I think that there’s this rush to make that comparison, but any time media fundamentally changes, the first movers to recognize that change — and to learn it and to adapt to it — tend to have that first-move advantage,” she said.

“So this is less about personality, less about Trump, and more about who has had the first-mover advantage. But there are similarities. People who succeed in social media follow similar tenets. In order to resonate with people, you have to tell them what you mean, you have to be willing to make mistakes, you have to be willing to be vulnerable and learn as you go.”

In her broadside against the president, she said what he “is trying to do in undermine truth itself.”

“Just because I’m pushing back on reporters calling women unlikable doesn’t mean that I think their outlet itself is ‘fake,’” she said. “There’s a huge difference between checking a narrative and checking an actual institution. That’s how you get climate deniers being treated just as seriously as venerable scientists.”

The progressive Democrat, who won a stunning victory over Rep. Joe Crowley in last year’s Democratic primary, said that last time she was “pissed” was during Trump’s “bulls— border address, watching this guy be racist from the Oval Office.”

“I saw it as a defilement. In terms of how we channel it, we just take that anger and that energy and use it to say, ‘This is why we need the moonshot,’” she said.

When reminded that she said on CNN that she wanted people to underestimate her because that was how she won her primary, Ocasio-Cortez said that “people like making these disparaging statements, like, ‘Oh, she’s good at Twitter. Is she gonna be an actual legislator?’

“I think it’s fine at the outset to be underestimated in that capacity. Where I do tell people to come correct is when they try to paint me as unintelligent, as unsubstantive. That’s when you see me fire back.”
