A couple of months ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke about how shocked she was to discover garbage disposals and how they worked.
Now she put out claims about the CBP forcing people to drink from the toilet.
Ocasio-Cortez on her CBP facility tour: “These women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet. They were drinking water out of the toilet”
Reporter: “Did you see somebody actually do that?”

If there was no running water, there would be no water in the toilet to drink, just fyi to Alexandria.
But in any event, the answer is her typical knack for confusion/falsehood.
Here’s what the toilets and sink/fountains look like in such holding cells, the sink/fountain is on top.
I zoomed in on a pic from a DHS Report (Dated: Sept 2018). It's a picture inside one of the immigrant detention cells (Adelanto Facility). Note: sink is attached to the toilet. So what could have been said was: Drink from the sink on top of the toilet.https://t.co/BZN7GzeSdF pic.twitter.com/5CS4OKL1Ar

Reports indicate she never even toured the facility, but screamed in a threatening manner at the CBP.
