Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy earlier today, saying he needs to “apologize for aiding and supporting the separation of children from their parents”:
As long as the @GOPLeader supports jailing children and families on the border, I will continue to hold him to account for it.
That’s why I’m calling on Rep. McCarthy to apologize for aiding and supporting the separation of children from their parents.pic.twitter.com/ogHXY7pD3p

And that earned the socialist from the Bronx this truth-filled clap back that it’s Dems who have blocked funding for humanitarian aid at the border a staggering 17 times because they won’t compromise with Republicans on wall funding:
You and other Democrats have blocked funding 17 times for humanitarian aid at the border. Want to end the crisis? Fund @HHSGov and #BuildTheWall. https://t.co/WzT5BQhoHr

Rep. Dan Crenshaw also jumped in, although he didn’t name AOC personally:
If we had a media that did their job, they would ask the ‘concentration camp’ demagogues a very simple question:
“How do you propose we fix this? Why won’t you support the budget request for more resources?”
Or “do you just want open borders?”

Exactly. It’s a crisis and Dems need to start working with the GOP to fix it:
“This is like no other crisis that I have seen in my career.” -Carla Provost, Chief of the United States Border Patrol
This fiscal year, MORE than 600,000 migrants were apprehended at the border – the largest figure in at least 10 years.
