RICO is a federal law that that was enacted to allow enhanced prosecution of racketeering crimes. It’s a statute under which specific crimes are charged . She’s correct and schooled Cancun Cruz: The moment from the hearing attracted the attention of Cruz, a Texas Republican, who said on X (formerly Twitter) early Thursday morning that Ocasio-Cortez's comments were "bizarre." "RICO—the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968—is most assuredly a crime," Cruz wrote. "It often results in massive felony sentences. And yet @aoc—eager to defend Joe Biden—insists it's not a crime." Ocasio-Cortez responded to Cruz's post later on Thursday, writing: "Wrong! RICO is a statute under which specific crimes may be considered - kidnapping, robbery, arson, etc." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/aoc-challenges-ted-cruz-on-rico-meaning/ar-BB1kjeUk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
