AOC tears into Trump for 'manufactured' border crisis at emotional hearing on migrant detention

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into what she called the Trump administration’s “policy of dehumanization” and stood by claims that detained migrants were told to drink out of toilet bowls at a fiery and emotional hearing about the migrant crisis at the border that featured the New York lawmaker and her freshman allies.

The House Oversight Committee hearing Friday on child separation included a host of high-profile witnesses. Among them were the freshman Democratic lawmakers -- known informally as the "Squad" -- who recounted their recent visit to the border, which itself became a flashpoint in the already raging debate over the migrant surge, poor conditions at detention centers and who's to blame.

At the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez maintained: “This is a manufactured crisis because the cruelty is manufactured.”

The lawmaker -- who demanded to be sworn in before her testimony despite Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., noting this was not normally done -- said that blame was not to be placed on border agents, but on the Trump administration. She took aim at senior adviser Stephen Miller.

"It is a policy of dehumanization implemented by this executive administration made at the feet of Stephen Miller that creates a tinderbox of violence and dehumanization where hurt people hurt people," she said.

Testifying next, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, broke into tears as she recalled what she saw at the border, and also scolded President Trump and others for using the phrase illegal immigrants.

These people (and the Mexican government) need to understand Mexicans and other Central Americans have already stolen almost all new construction and reroofing jobs in this country.

Trump’s response to AOC... “Have you seen your psychiatrist lately? You appear to be off your meds.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be so much happier living in some wonderful country in her imagination... Maybe she should go look for that country and take her ‘America haters’ with her...they would all be happier some place else.

It appears that we have a bunch of very, highly emotional people on our hands.

There is no disgrace in emotion, EXCEPT when you are in an important, serious job to do. Not being able to control yourself is not a qualification for a leader.

They must stop this shocking behavior and get a grip on themselves.

This is NOT helping their case.

Our elected lawmakers who either are too ignorant of the Fed laws/code or willfully don't give a crap and only play to the LIV and ILLEGAL ALIENS a legal term used throughout the US code

When a woman can't win an argument with logic, the next step is to use her femininity. If she is of a minority then she'll play the race card with the feminine card. If that doesn't work then they will cry and put on a show for sympathy to get what they want. What she needs is a good slap to the face and kick in the butt. Personally I'd prefer water boarding to women that pull this crap.

AOC = POS.

You cannot have it both ways.

You cannot stand by the fence in the parking lot and wail and still deny the crises.

O’Reilly speculated that she doesn’t really want to be in Congress that long, she wants to be on The View.

If there’s no crisis, why were you pretending to cry at the border?

“O’Reilly speculated that she doesn’t really want to be in Congress that long, she wants to be on The View.”

I myself see her as a short timer as an elected official. She will eventually be voted out, but then enter the lobby industry and make a killing.
