Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked by Stephen Colbert if she would run for president. You can watch the videos below.

Keep in mind that the progressive lawmaker just watched Cassidy Hutchinson testify to the House panel investigating Donald Trump's role in the Capitol insurrection.

Someone would turn 35 by the time the election came around, according to Colbert. That made Ocasio-Cortez want to hide.

Biden has said he intends to run for reelection, but the host asked if she would do it.

She said that we need to focus on keeping a democracy for anyone to be president. Helping the people of this country is my main focus.

It is possible. Colbert tried to push.

She didn't know about that.

The lawmaker had a definite reaction to the testimony that her boss, chief of staff, and other top Trump officials inquired about getting pardons for their role in the January 6, 2021, siege.

There was a conscientiousness of guilt and it was just stunning to see. They were aware that what they were doing wasn't right.

Oscasio-Cortez said members of Congress who ask for pardons should be kicked out.
