Lo siento (I’m sorry) Senora, but your acting just ain’t good enough to pull off such a Whopper of a lie.
Advice: Next fake ‘kidnapping’, don’t use AOC as a method actress model. She tends to overact too!

Audrey Farber…Susan Underhilll…Betty Jo Beilofsky…

She also looks decades OLDER than 41.

There's a lot of that going around these days.
I ALWAYS end up HAVING to look!
Invasive leeches.
It’s a trap! (I looked, too)
In the end, Americans realize the filth we are removing from our nation.
Kudos, to ICE.
Job well done and progress being made.
Admiral Ackbar looks better than she does.
