President Donald Trump never mentioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by name in his speech to supporters in Fargo, North Dakota on Wednesday evening. But he responded indirectly to the “democratic socialist’s” surprising primary win in New York’s 14th congressional district the day before by defending Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency Ocasio-Cortez has vowed to abolish. Trump told the cheering crowd:
In recent days, we’ve heard of shameless attacks on these courageous law enforcement officers [ICE]. Extremist Democrat politicians have called for the complete elimination of ICE. “We don’t want ICE anymore!” You know what would happen to parts of our country? It would be overrun with the worst criminal elements you have ever seen. Left-wing activists are trying to block ICE officers from doing their jobs, and publicly posting their home addresses, putting these incredible people and their families in harm’s way.
(Boos)
These radical Democrat protesters, they really want anarchy. But the only response they will find from our government is very strong law and order.
(Cheers)
We will not tolerate attacks on our law enforcement. We will protect our law enforcement like they protect us!
(Cheers)
We will always stand proudly with our brave heroes of ICE, the Border Patrol, the sheriffs, the police, yes, the firemen — the firemen sometimes are under attack, if you can believe it. The firemen. These are great people. And we have their backs.
(Cheers)

This girl won because she’s Hispanic. The Hispanic tribe in the district probably voted for her 100% or more. Most probably couldn’t care less that she’s a socialist, if they even knew. Being young and semi-attractive probably didn’t hurt either.
Areas that want to get rid of ICE have seen law enforcement in years; these places are basically returning to nature (complete with half-dressed natives birthing babies in their early teens).
I’m glad an older white lib lost his job to an open-borders type; karma’s a b!tch.
