As Twitchy told you, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been lobbing some pretty serious (and as yet unsubstantiated) accusations against CBP officers. She also whipped her followers into a frenzy over a story about a pro-CBP Facebook group whose members made nasty and threatening remarks about her. The article about the group, it should be noted, only linked to three actual CBP agents.
In any event, it should come as no surprise that her squad bestie Rashida Tlaib is backing AOC up and using AOC’s accusations to impugn the entire Border Patrol. She recently took her act to MSNBC:

There’s something disgustingly ironic about Tlaib accusing CBP agents of trying to dehumanize migrants, considering that Tlaib joined with AOC in voting against bills to send additional funding to detention facilities, not to mention the fact that Tlaib also applauded the Wayfair Walkout that was intended to take beds away from migrant children.
This is how we fight back. #CloseTheCamps @Wayfair. https://t.co/KdQfvCC3hW

I'm glad y'all are fighting very hard against migrant children having beds. https://t.co/2VY3MNHEyp

So please forgive us if we’re not inclined to take Tlaib’s less-than-righteous indignation seriously. Particularly given her own history with problematic Facebook groups. As AG_Conservative points out, Tlaib has numerous anti-Semitic social media ties:
Tlaib wants people to judge CBP based on a few comments in a large FB group where only a few ppl confirmed as CBP.
Meanwhile, Tlaib was part of a smaller FB group where antisemitic content (inc pics of Jews as rats & vampires) was regularly posted. What does that say about her? https://t.co/6jELIVmejw

Oh and btw… Tlaib belonging to that group got almost no coverage outside conservative media.

Here are a few links related to Tlaib’s antisemitic social media connections : https://t.co/wCFgt84uaZhttps://t.co/Dl0x1yXiHthttps://t.co/8upvG6C1CL

So Tlaib needs to shut her pie hole and take several seats.
Shhh… That's suppose to be her dirty little secret.
