Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has had a meltdown following the Supreme Court's immunity ruling for former US president Donald Trump.
AOC has since threatened the US Supreme Court to bring articles of impeachment against them over their verdict.
The 34-year-old posted to X and asserted the ruling as an “assault on American democracy”.
“The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,” she wrote.
“Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.”
Monday’s Supreme Court ruling has said a president is immune from prosecution for “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority”.
According to Fox News, the verdict also ruled that a president has “presumptive immunity” for officials' acts in general.
