Yep, the way she asked it essentially accused him of being happy over a massacre. And the guy, not surprisingly, didn't respond well. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
I know these people aren't there to be their friends, and it seems others are just as bad. I don't know if it's always been this bad or if it's gradually increased in intensity over the years.
Speaking of questioning people, this is funny:
"Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"I don't know how to answer that question because we weren't," Sloan replied flatly.
"Uh, so in finan... you've, you were financing, involved in debt financing in CoreCivic and GEO group, correct?" Ocasio-Cortez continued, referring to two public prison firms.
"For a period of time, we were involved in financing one of the firms, we are not anymore," Sloan said. "I'm not familiar with the specific assertion you are making, we were not involved in that."
She asked if Wells Fargo should pay for spills from the Keystone XL pipeline, but Sloan responded that they didn't directly finance that pipeline. She had to move on.
Ocasio-Cortez then asked if they should be liable for global warming effects from their pipeline financing.
"I don't know how'd you calculate that, congresswoman," Sloan replied.
"Say from spills, or when we have to reinvest in infrastructure building sea walls from the erosion uh, of," Ocasio-Cortez stammered, "um, from the erosion of infrastructure or cleanups, wildfires, et cetera."
"Related to that pipeline?" Sloan asked. "I'm not aware that there's been any of what you've described that's occurred that's related to that pipeline."
Ocasio-Cortez, clearly growing impatient, demanded to know why Wells Fargo shouldn't pay for clean up from theoretical spills in the future that haven't happened yet.
"Because we don't operate the pipeline," he responded, "we provide financing to the company that's operating the pipeline."
Lol. And we have this too:
Washington Post fact-checkers call out Ocasio-Cortez opioid claim
She keeps misleading people, whether on purpose or not. She's just like Trump, but better looking. The funny thing is we could legit say "she's young and new to this job" as an excuse *if* she hadn't been already behaving like she knows better than the people who have been doing the job for years. You can't do both, if you're gonna act like you know better don't f*ck up so much.
And you won't hear her ever cop to lying or misleading people, sound familiar?

She is a total victory for the Democrats🙂 I've said the same thing in another thread, she's the less "despicable" trump for the left acting under the safety net of her youth.............

No way. She's only a few years younger than me.
In other words, there's no excuse for her to be so unprepared. She doesn't care. She knows what she's doing. She's hamming for sound bites. She's using the shotgun method - one of those questions and answers will stick and journalists will lap it up like starved vampires. "Ocasio-Cortez hammers Wells Fargo CEO; CEO Admits Culpability On Pipeline Spills"
Gaspity! Oh no! Dirty Wells Fargo CEO!
But it didn't work out. She was hoping it would. She will try again.

I don't see how it's a victory. She's causing drama even among Dems and she is a gift to conservatives.
And the country will be legitimately harmed if her ideas become mainstream among the Democrats.
Trigger warning, Tim Pool is a coming.
Johnny Depp FALSELY Accused? Listen And Believe HURTS The Innocent
Apparently this could impact Amber Heard returning in Aquaman 2. And to that I say...meh. She was always so so an actress, but she is pretty. She seems crazy and not the good kind of crazy. I mean if she threw bottles of vodka at the wall in anger it would be tolerable cuz she's hot but not if she's using them on you.
