PolitiFact underlined its hypersensitivity to attacks on liberals on Monday by declaring a "Viral Image" of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be "FALSE." The site tweeted:
Was @AOC crying over a parking lot while protesting family separation? False, she was standing on a road to a migrant facility, which was in her line of gaze, and was just beyond the port of entry.
"Fact" checkers Ciara O'Rourke and Stefanie Pousolides were upset with the Russian-puppet outfit RT and Jim Treacher at PJ Media for mocking the pictures. This is almost a month old, so you can't credit PolitiFact for responding quickly. This is one of their "Facebook fact-checks."
Since they are liberal AOC fans, they probably don't know Treacher writes with a humorous bent, and the headline is meant for laughs: "AOC Weeps Over Empty Parking Lot." They're not insisting she cried over parking spots. They're insisting she was staging photos far from the "action" being protested. She was striking a pose for the cameras, in the company of liberal celebrities including Connie Britton, Mira Sorvino, Bella Thorne, and Constance Wu.
Photoshoppers mocked AOC by putting her sobbing pose in front of a Chick-fil-A on Sunday. Carpe Donktum put Joe Biden smelling her hair behind her. Somehow PolitiFact didn't cite those images as "False."
Treacher cracked: "If you can look at those pictures without feeling this woman's genuine anguish and sincere concern for the plight of those people, I question your very soul. Obviously, whatever she saw on the other side of that fence was horrible and inhumane." He joked "Look at all that available parking space! [SOB]"

""If you can look at those pictures without feeling this woman's genuine anguish and sincere concern for the plight of those people, I question your very soul." Really? You so funny treacher! Fookin' idjit kind of funny.
Genuine anguish? She was coiffed in a immaculate white suit, perfect make-up and $1000 watch. Just perfect for the photo op. It was so obviously staged it instantly became a viral meme.
Go read the Snopes excuse for the same thing. Great for a laugh.
