Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said that border patrol agents were forcing illegal immigrants to drink form the toilet. These are her exact words:
“There’s abuse in these facilities. There’s abuse. This was them on their best behavior, and they put them in a room with no running water, and these women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet – they were drinking water out of the toilet. And that was them knowing that a congressional visit was coming. This is CBP on their best behavior, telling people to drink out of the toilet.”
You can hear her saying these words in this video: (skip to 0:20)

Ocasio-Cortez also tweeted the following: (original, archive)
“Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.”
However, in the real world, no one was drinking from the toilet. Instead, the facilities had the standard plumbing systems which are commonly found in prisons, where there is a sink above the toilet. The sinks provide clean, safe drinking water.
Reverend Samuel Rodriguez, a Hispanic pastor who had advised Presidents Trump, Obama, and George W. Bush on immigration reform, said:
“I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system…”
“To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border…”
“We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities..”
I think this idiot is the one who drinks from the toilet..
She is rabid, and needs to be put down when she starts foaming at the mouth.
Born in a Toilet
What do the jail cells look like in her district?
Are the cells equipped with toilets and sinks similar to those in El Paso?
Perhaps, someone from NYC can respond.
Chiquita also found OVENS in the “concentration camp’s” kitchen!!! We’re all doomed!!! Time for this dizzy broad to go back to selling chicken wing tacos and Margaritas.
She never saw a Sink Toilet combo ,it’s a big thing in Japan ,you know small places ,LOL
Illegal ALIENS.
Immigrants are people who apply for immigration, wait their turn, pay their fees, learn the language and comply with the laws.
Illegal aliens do NONE of that.
Illegal aliens are NOT immigrants.
Well first let me say I am thrilled my tax dollars are not wasted on bottled water or any other soft drink beverages.
“She never saw a Sink Toilet combo”
Even Rush was clueless about the genesis for this charge. Ignorant illegals saw the combo and thought they were really drinking toilet water. Not sure if AOC saw one of these combos. She is not too smart so may have believed it or just decided to spread the propaganda.
What surprised me was how far behind the curve Rush was on this topic.
She is a paid Con artist for the Young Turks, a “far from progressive” LW activist group
Illegal aliens should be banned from the legal immigration process forever.
She truly is the gift that keeps on giving - to conservatives. Once again we see her caught in another lie, another rabid exaggeration. AOC represents the left, and she does so splendidly. Ignorance, lies, exaggeration, hypocrisy, intolerance... these are but a few of the traits she regularly puts on display. The only difference between her and other leftists is she lacks the common sense, self control, and basic intelligence to conceal her nature. Other leftists are just as bad as her, they’re just better at hiding it. (Usually)
Did they feed them 75 calories a week like the German concentration camps?
So says the Ass Of Congress
The link below shows the reality versus the bs from this Ameerica hating pos/AOC!

Better water than they would have drank back in their country.
She’s a lying little COMMUNIST!
The bar maid is a liar.
