Cruz mocks Ocasio-Cortez in Senate floor speech, challenges Dems to 'go see the Biden cages'

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz mocked Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her previous visit to a migrant facility, and issued a "simple challenge" to her and her colleagues to visit the "Biden cages" holding migrants amid the border crisis.

"Mr. President, every Democrat who stood up and lamented kids in cages, in the House of Representatives, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, has a famous photo of her grasping her head by the kids in cages," Cruz said as he imitated the photo. "Well, I’m going to give a simple challenge for Representative Ocasio-Cortez and for every Democrat in this body. Go see the Biden cages with your own eyes."

Cruz’s comments came during a Senate floor speech on Wednesday regarding the influx of Haitian migrants at the U.S. border with Mexico, with more than 14,000 migrants seen camped under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. Cruz called out Democrats for not visiting the border to witness the crisis, while noting they were vocal about migration facilities during the Trump administration.

"Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him," Cruz added later in his speech. "Why does Kamala Harris, who’s supposed to be the border czar, she’s supposed to be in charge of this, why won’t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages. And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say nothing to see here. 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio. Nothing to see here. Anyone want to know what Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor is? That’s the news!"

They are no longer cages, they are now children’s play pens.

See the Section 8 housing under the bridge.

How would you like to be a husband there?

It’s quite obvious by now that, when it comes to the cages or any other appearance or optic or wrongdoing, that, it’s only wrong and evil when republicans seem to be responsible.

There was not much wrongdoing when, under Biden, the ‘brownies’ from central and S. America seemed to be caged or dying or going hungry or being mistreated. But, now that the ‘victims’ are black in Del Rio, the big, bad, evil handling of the Haitian blacks is equivalent to the conditions that blacks endured under slave owners. Democrats and the liberal media, are the biggest hypocrites on the planet, since, everything happening at any part of the border, are all due to the Biden administration open border policy.

She posed by a fence, and the Partisan Media Shills helpfully took their shot so that no one would see that she was looking with false despair at an empty area as she grasped a fence.

I think the worm is turning as Biden’s blunders are now making him the demented laughingstock he always was.

I expect to see more and more of this. I saw John Rich on the afternoon show on FOX yesterday say Jill Biden should be arrested for Elder abuse. Now I believe another FOX host was admonished for saying something similar. People are more openly calling a spade a spade now that Biden is failing so badly.
