Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a huge deal about “kids in cages” and supposedly wept at the border during President Donald Trump’s administration.
Someone called out AOC’s recent silence on the situation on Instagram Live. She snapped.
It’s a crisis of all sorts, but not a border crisis.
From The New York Post:
She initially appeared outraged when asked during an Instagram Live ask-me-anything session why she was “not addressing the border crisis and the kids in cages like you used to” — asking after a pause, “Are you for real?”“It’s not a border crisis. It’s an Imperialism crisis, it’s a climate crisis, it’s a trade crisis. And also it’s a carceral crisis,” she said, without directly addressing the kids-in-cages allegation itself.
It gets better. AOC tried to change the definition of “surge,” which is something leftists do well:
“They wanna say, ‘But what about the surge?'” Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday night during an Instagram Live session. “Well, first of all, just gut check, stop. Anyone who’s using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame.””And that’s a problem because this is not a surge, these are children and they are not insurgents and we are not being invaded, which by the way is a white supremacist idea-philosophy, the idea that if another is coming in the population that this is an invasion of who we are,” the congresswoman continued.
Oh, how I love it when they use the same old dog whistles. I wonder what term they’ll use after they water down “white supremacy” as they did with racism.
It’s so weird. You look at the definition of surge, and, well, it does not fit with AOC’s ramblings. I cannot believe people just eat this up without questioning her.
