Original Note:
Actual quote: “Excuse me, sir,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said. “RICO is not a crime. It is a category.” This is correct. Suspects are charged *under* RICO, not *with* RICO. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a U.S. federal statute. https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/aoc-spars-with-tony-bobulinski-over-biden-crime-allegations-rico-is-not-a-crime-rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-squad-progressive-hunter-joe-biden-new-york-washington-impeachment-rico https://www.britannica.com/topic/Racketeer-Influenced-and-Corrupt-Organizations-Act
