Let’s not pretend there’s any sense to anything she says, apart from pushing the socialist agenda.
Via Daily Wire:
CNN’s Jake Tapper repeatedly called out socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) during an interview on Thursday over her refusal to vote for any border bill that would help improve conditions for detained illegal aliens after she has repeatedly claimed that the Trump administration is operating “concentration camps.”
Tapper questioned Ocasio-Cortez after she wrote the following on Twitter: “Under no circumstances should the House vote for a McConnell-only bill w/ no negotiation with Democrats. Hell no. That’s an abdication of power we should refuse to accept. They will keep hurting kids if we do.”
“Those are strong words against Speaker Pelosi and that bill as you know passed 84 to 8 in the Senate,” Tapper said. “A lot of Liberal Democrats voted for it. Explain why you’re taking such a strong stance here.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded: We passed a House version of this bill which had far more humanitarian provisions and accountability — and accountability for the facilities that are abusing kids at our border. And Mitch McConnell immediately smacked it down in order to pass and rammed through a Senate bill that has an enormous amount of funding for military as well as no guardrails and no accountability for facilities that are abusing our kids.”
