Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) grilled Wells Fargo CEO, Timothy Sloan over his bank’s role in financing firms operating ICE detention centers and constructing the Dakota Access Pipeline. (Twitchy)
The only thing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hates more than fact checkers is actual facts. That’s why she prefers to just make up her own and hope for the best:
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asks Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan: “Why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?”
Sloan: “I don’t know how to answer that question because we weren’t.” pic.twitter.com/0ecaOAvvu8

AOC: “Why was the bank involved in the caging of children?”
Wells Fargo CEO: “I don’t know how to answer that question because we weren’t.”
AOC: “Ok, I’ll move on.” pic.twitter.com/tkOvXDn5U2

She’ll move on now that she’s put it out there that Wells Fargo puts kids in cages.
“Mr. Bank CEO, why was your bank involved in robbing banks?”
“Wait, what? Our bank was robbed.”
“AHA! So you admit your bank was involved in robbing banks!”

Basically:
AOC: A man used his Wells Fargo debit card to purchase poison to kill his wife. Tell me why you believe your bank isn’t responsible for her death.
Wells Fargo: ????

AOC’s logic is airtight! So airtight, in fact, that it’s apparently depriving her brain of oxygen.
This is the argument they are trying to use on banks for gun confiscation FWIW. She knows what she’s doing. https://t.co/36gASxUhQY
