Rep James Comer tried but failed to troll AOC.

The topic was Republican efforts to lower the number of hours pilots are required to train before flying commercial flights.

"What we are seeing right now is Republicans trying to roll back a rule on the number of hours that pilots must require in order to train, in order to be licensed," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said.

Rep. Comer idiotically interrupted the New York Congresswoman.

"I'm amused that the gentlelady is concerned about raising the age, the regulation that limits the age for pilots when there's a shortage of pilots, but they're OK with a President of the United States who's more than 20 years older than the minimum age," Comer chided.

"Mr. Chairman, since you're referring to me, it's not age," AOC responded. "It's training hour time, the number of hours that an individual is training, not the age."

Failing to "own the lib," Comer tepidly replied.

"Well, part of the regulation is the age as well," he said.

AOC didn't even try to punk the Kentucky Congressman. Not being on Fox News seemed to discombobulate the Republican lawmaker.

The House of Representatives did vote to raise the retirement age of pilots from 65 to 67. But the 50-year-old Congressman from Kentucky appears to be suffering from a mental lapse.

I believe it's time for a mental acuity test! Person, woman, man, camera, idiot!
