Earlier today, Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Customs and Border Patrol officers of physically and sexually threatening her at a “horrifying” detention facility.
Just left the 1st CBP facility.
I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.
Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.
This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.

Now I’m on my way to Clint, where the Trump admin was denying children toothpaste and soap.
This has been horrifying so far. It is hard to understate the enormity of the problem. We’re talking systemic cruelty w/ a dehumanizing culture that treats them like animals.

Per Twitchy:
A lot of people thought something smelled very fishy about AOC’s account. Looks like their suspicions have been confirmed:
SCOOP: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents “in a threatening manner” during a visit to a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, Monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed it.

Well, knock us over with a feather!
Apparently @AOC saw the terrible conditions of the detention facility despite refusing to actually tour it. Interesting. pic.twitter.com/99txYQCD47

Of course, it’s not as if her minions care. They’ll tie themselves into any logical knot necessary to defend her:
Gotta be honest, Anna, if half of the abuses @AOC reports are true, screaming would be an appropriate response.
Sadly, I have every reason to believe every word she says. pic.twitter.com/oaPz7Z8APh
