Welp, Ayanna Pressley just proved she belongs in The Squad. Heh.
In case you missed it, Democrats think incarcerating criminals is racist and xenophobic.
This country's criminal INjustice system is racist, xenophobic, rogue & fundamentally flawed beyond reform.

Participatory People’s Process … what the Hell is that? You know what, never mind.
Here’s where it gets really funny though.

One in four people in the world are locked in cages?! Wow, who knew?
FYI, she deleted the tweet but we grabbed it JUUUUUUST in case because we were pretty sure she would:
That’s a whole lotta people, yeah?
We have about 1.9 Billion people in cages?
This is news.
…or really bad math.

Maybe there’s this giant prison somewhere and we just don’t know it?
“And then… Get this! She said that one in four ppl worldwide are locked in cages…in America!”

Where exactly are we holding 1.7 billion people, genius?

The moon.
Hey, it could happen.
100% of 25% the world's population are locked in cages in America, every time.
— Regs (@r3gulations) November 14, 2019
Every time.
Hundreds, no thousands, no! ONE BILLION PEOPLE pic.twitter.com/cpYE8U4M3T

When Lefties tell us it’s more important to be morally correct than factually correct this is what we get, ladies and gents.

Would love to see your math on this. pic.twitter.com/91zBgevv6Z

Duh.
Apparently math is not your strong point…
— ??Laura?? (@flasunshine929) November 14, 2019
Yes, we have just under 2 BILLION PEOPLE locked in cages here, in a nation of 320 million people.
6 times our population. In cages. Right here among us. Yup.
Totally.

Dont think the math checks out on that, chief.

Dumb as a box of rocks. #LeftistFascist fraud.
— TXCobrak (@TXCobrak) November 14, 2019
Ahem, we are hearing from various boxes of rocks that this is offensive to them.
Not a degree in math I guess???

AOC jumps in to prove Ayanna’s math checks out in 3 … 2 … 1 …
Jerry Dunleavey was good enough to give her the benefit of the doubt:
I *think* she means the U.S. prison population is 1/4 of the global total (this is likely high tho) but her tweet is hilariously garbled. However even that stat counts the 2.2 million in the U.S. but doesn’t include, for instance, 1 million Uighurs in Chinese concentration camps. https://t.co/kIYOtbaNhV
— JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JerryDunleavy) November 14, 2019
And she did ‘fix’ it:
When 1 out of 4 prisoners in the world are locked away in cages in America, it becomes our moral obligation to do something. When we acknowledge America's dark past, we provide ourselves w/ a chance to fundamentally change our future. #JusticeGuarantee https://t.co/k8jk0PIxOP

But her original tweet was still an epic and hilarious fail.
