Is there a more reliably self-righteous, intellectually dishonest, insufferably wrong, and downright malicious Democrat in office right now than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Because this is absolutely vile:
Rep. @AOC responds to Republicans who say a physical barrier should be part of a border funding bill: “They should not be using a humanitarian crisis as a bargaining chip.” pic.twitter.com/OHyBEsPK7v

She’s so proud of herself, she even retweeted it for good measure:
Sorry … who’s been using a humanitarian crisis as a bargaining chip, again?
That’s exactly what you have done!

They were calling for a wall long before the Democrats allowed this to grow into a crisis. She is really stupid.

You and your cohorts have been doing that from day one

I thought there wasn’t an emergency at the border.
Congressional Democrats have denied it for months.
They have also voted against funding to help deal with the crisis at the boarder.
— M.Hales (@mack_hale) June 27, 2019
But you said it wasn't a crisis not 3 months ago and the border has been an issue for years. Perhaps you shouldn't use this as a bargaining chip.

Except she is citing the crisis as a means to forward her policy goals too. And she’s using extremist rhetoric in order to achieve it.

AOC has been absolutely brazen and unapologetic about using this “humanitarian crisis” to build herself up and score the cheapest of cheap political points.
No just as a social media strategy to gain more followers and support.

Says the woman who posed in front of a parking lot pretending to be overwhelmed by emotion over a humanitarian crisis.?

Yet she exploits the problem to take a photo op of herself while looking at a parking lot. pic.twitter.com/8tRlqexJis

She would also like to see the company providing beds to stop . . .
— Mark Kelly (@MarkdKelly2) June 27, 2019
But blocking delivery of beds for children in detention isn’t a humanitarian crisis that you are using as a bargaining chip?
— GLD8912 (@bsenett88091) June 27, 2019
What do you call denying children beds? You either truly don't care that kids are sleeping on concrete OR you're "using the crisis as a bargaining chip". Pick one!
— Casey (@Casey33977184) June 27, 2019
Until they stop using kids as a bargaining chip she will remove their beds and make them sleep on the floor. This lady is nuts and heartless.

AOC doesn’t give a damn about migrant children. She never has. It’s in her best interest to make sure those kids continue to suffer.
Translation:
Republicans can’t use illegal immigrants as a bargaining chip because only Democrats can use them as a bargaining chip.
— That Girl (@barrysoerto) June 27, 2019
We’d say shame on AOC, but can you really shame the utterly shameless?
You are such a HYPOCRITE!
— Tweety (@puttytat58) June 27, 2019
Meanwhile democrats keep killing bills aimed at alleviating the problem.
Sad truth is that @AOC is benefiting from these children’s suffering, and essentially using them as props while her party sabotages efforts to provide much needed funding to handle the crisis.
Sad AF.

'This takes real chutzpah'! Smear merchant AOC doubles down on projecting her own egregious border crisis sins onto McConnell and Trump https://t.co/D2cesHpA0Y
