The young, left-leaning star of the Democratic Party said that she was “genuinely surprised” by the “sheer mediocrity” of many of the experts enlisted by her colleagues across the aisle at the House Education and Labor Committee hearing on Wednesday.

“I honestly thought GOP witnesses would be well-prepared, w/ sophisticated arguments for the opposing view – evil-genius lobbyist types. But they’re often sloppy + reaching (not all though)."

“I think if everyday GOP voters saw the witnesses called on their behalf, they’d be upset.”

As an example, the New York Democrat claimed that Republicans had “brought in a guy [with] a polka dot bowtie backed by oil lobbyists arguing that fossil fuels are ‘healthy’. HEALTHY.”

The shoddy quality of GOP-backed experts is “embarrassing,” the freshman lawmaker added.

Ocasio-Cortez earlier weighed in on an exchange between Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta and Democratic Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood at the House Education and Labor Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Unimpressed by Acosta’s apparent lack of knowledge about women’s health and contraception issues, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: “The mediocrity is astounding.”
