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.

Did not AOCIdiot take an oath to UPHOLD the LAWS of this COUNTRY? Anyone?
I am beginning to plan her retirement party.
Now crawl back under your rock you troll.
Maybe someone will break into her apartment and steal all her stuff and the DC police can tell her they can’t arrest them because they were just pursuing their basic human rights.
This w9man is pure evil.
Where do these drama queens take their acting lessons?
Public schools probably.
.
DID media ever mention the
‘medical issue’ that occurred as AOC was ranting and she suddenly stop, looked to the members and someone was on the floor, and the meeting came to a stop???
SO WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO WAS IT? just wondering, as I’ve heard nothing...
I did notice CODE PINK sitting in the crowd behind the three FRESHMEN CONGRESS PEOPLE...and I notice a number of people looking like they were sure what sex they were born as...made hubby and I both lol...
meant to say....LIKE THEY WEREN’T SURE, WHAT SEX THEY WERE BORN...
Occasional Kotex is nothing but a little yappy dog on a string.
What slays me is that they are so stressed out over the little migrant rug rats, but here in the USA promote abortion of our children (both before and after birth). And don’t give a tinker’s d—— about letting this invading filth bring in all manner of diseases US citizens thought was eradicated. Plus the raping, looting, killing, etc. Shame there isn’t a public hanging square for some of these traitors to our republic.
This bar tender is given way too much press time.
Stoopid would fail a 9th grade civics class.
How do you call in invasion of over 600,000 people from other countries a “MANUFACTURED CRISIS” ????
When an MS-13 thug invades their domicile, maybe then they will wake up.
All together, these woman cannot accumulate enough IQ to break a 3 digit number.
Where the Democrats come up with these morons
I grew up on the Texas Mexico border. The problem is not manufactured, AOC. It was bad then and wise now, because Democrats and corporatist RINOs have done nothing to secure our borders, even after 9/11, and have basically encouraged more illegal border crossing with magnets like sanctuary cities, free healthcare and proposed amnesty. Now go back to tending bar.
