To make her case, she claimed Alito was accepting gifts from a billionaire who was lobbying against student loan forgiveness. But this is a flat out lie.

AOC, like most radical Democrats, can’t stand that they’ve lost control of the Supreme Court and they want to find a way to get control of it back. They’d love to impeach a justice or two and so that Biden can replace them and they are touting phony conflicts in order to try and make that happen. It’s disgusting.
