NEW PICS SHOW AOC 'CRYING' PHOTO-OP WAS AT MOSTLY EMPTY LOT

aybe she was sad about the lack of migrant kids available for a photo op?

That’s the question we’re asking after finding new photos of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) at a border entry gate days before she won the Democratic primary.

Photographer Ivan Pierre Aguirre recently posted pictures from AOC’s trip to the border last year, which depict the congresswoman crying, presumably at the sight of nearby migrant children being inhumanely detained.

“Before @AOC hit the national stage & was just a fairly unknown House candidate frm NYC,she took time awy frm her campaign & came dwn to #Tornillo to protest the #tentcity housing migrant children.” Aguirre wrote on Twitter. “I made these previously unpublished fotos a yr ago today.”

AOC helped bring the photos international attention after writing of the images: “I’ll never forget this, because it was the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was becoming a nation that steals refugee children from their parents,& caged them.”

“More kids died after this,” she added. “To date, no one has been held accountable. We need to save these kids.”

Here’s the original tweet from Aguirre:

And here is AOC suggesting she’s sobbing at the sight of migrant children being detained:

"I’ll never forget this, because it was the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was becoming a nation that steals refugee children from their parents,& caged them.

More kids died after this. To date, no one has been held accountable.

We need to save these kids. "

Grabien News searched Getty Images’ archive and located alternate-angle photos from this same event. The images, seen below, indicate AOC was crying at the sight of … a mostly empty lot.

Getty photographer Joe Raedle also did not mention migrant children being visible. Here’s his description of the photos: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stands at the Tornillo-Guadalupe port of entry gate on June 24, 2018 in Tornillo, Texas. She is part of a group protesting the separation of children from their parents after they were caught entering the U.S. under the administration's zero tolerance policy.”

While detention facilities exist on the property, they don’t appear to be within eyeshot of AOC’s vantage point, at least not close enough to see children “caged” as she describes. In both directions the nearest building is barely visible.

Perhaps that explains the tears. With a limited campaign budget, AOC didn’t have a lot of room for missed photo-op.

This empty brained, brash socialist, is so full of herself there is no room for even a little sense. She knows nothing worthy.. but she does know how to make a fool of herself.

I’ll never forget this, because it was the the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was stupid enough to elect a nitwit bigot to the Congress.

She won due to low voter turnout. I believe like less than 20% of registered voters bothered to show up. Just like De Blasio won his two terms no one cared and the GOP candidate sucked Corvette tailpipe.

AOC and the Muslim terrorist-backers who were elected by Democrats show us that Democrats should NEVER hold power. They can’t even nominate decent candidates for office.

Pity AOC. She has not yet lived long enough to “for the first time” be proud of anything in America-—as Michelle Obama said in her fifties.

America is on one side. These anti-Americans are on the other.

In Hollywood they use glycerin drops in the eyes so actors will look like they are crying tears for closeups.

Check AOC’s $950 designer handbag for a glycerin dropper.

But another angle: No one of the busybody psychiatrist quacks who used their home armchairs as the place where they freely diagnosed President Trump as ready to be removed under the 25th amendment for being mentally ill, has come forward to diagnose AOC. Why not?

Is she bipolar? Wild eyes. Delusions of grandeur with grandiose version of her greatness on display and anger that others do not agree. Belief in preposterous illusions such as concentration camps and killing alien children and trains crossing the Pacific Ocean somehow—with no evidence.

Now, does she also have crying spells and depression with suicidal ideations and emotional exhaustion following hyperactivity? Vicious hostility to Trump and others. Her dimwit boyfriend and old bar coworkers and others may know.

Or, other forms of mental illness. Like Schiff seems to be, she may possibly be on drugs now.

Before she goes any farther in her sudden career we should find out.
