As we told you yesterday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in response to people asking why she wasn’t doing a “crying at the fence” type photo op now that the crisis at the border is even worse than last year, explained that there isn’t a “surge” because what’s happening doesn’t constitute an “insurgency.” After that AOC received offers to send her free dictionaries that went unanswered.
Today AOC continued to spin the issue and ended up taking things in a perhaps unintentional direction:
A lot of people who are just now suddenly horrified at the dehumanizing conditions at our border are the same folks who dehumanize immigrants + helped build these cages in the 1st place.
When we tried to stop this infrastructure over a year ago,we were overruled by BOTH parties. https://t.co/XRt7mKtFq1

A politician’s strength isn’t based on a trip. It’s based on their policy and voting RECORD.
And the fact is a LOT of Ted Cruz types who are now going down to meet refugee children in boats outfitted w/ machine guns are the ones who helped create this problem in the first place.

“Who helped build the cages in the first place”? Fortunately for AOC, there are a lot of people who DO remember:
Lol, I don't think she knows who built the cages…. https://t.co/OAsDBwt4ir

Is @AOC seriously trying to rewrite history? Barack and Joe built them and Joe is still not closing them. https://t.co/foNpDpenfy

When she refers to those who helped build the cages in the first place I wonder if she’s referring to Barry O? https://t.co/0du9LbHE2L
