Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) reportedly demonstrated her lack of class and her lack of respect for the rule of law today during a visit to a U.S. Border Patrol facility.

While visiting the facility in El Paso, Texas, Ocasio-Cortez broke down and threw a tantrum, screaming at federal officials “in a threatening manner” and refused to tour the inside of the facility, according to reports.

Ocasio-Cortez immediately posted an account of the situation on her Twitter page, unverified by any evidence, painting herself as the hero and the federal agents as the villains.

Just left the 1st CBP facility.

I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.

Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.

This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.

Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities.

It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members Congress.

I brought it up to their superiors. They said “officers are under stress & act out sometimes.” No accountability.

After I forced myself into a cell w/ women&began speaking to them, one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as “psychological warfare” – waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc.

Tell me what about that is due to a “lack of funding?”

Now I’m on my way to Clint, where the Trump admin was denying children toothpaste and soap.

This has been horrifying so far. It is hard to understate the enormity of the problem. We’re talking systemic cruelty w/ a dehumanizing culture that treats them like animals.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) called out AOC for making these unproven claims to gin up more hatred against law enforcement as they deal with the national emergency at the U.S. southern border.

I’m calling bullsh*t. And if there were one (unacceptable of course) example of an agent even suggesting such a thing, he or she would be removed. cc: @BPUnion @CBP https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1145762201619357696

If there is a hint of evidence of this – please share it with me ASAP. But be specific, else stop the blatant attacks of our law enforcement overwhelmed because you and your Democrat colleagues refuse to acknowledge the crisis.

Others are taking AOC to task as well for her remarks:

@RaheemKassam

Let’s imagine for a moment that @AOC’s claims are true.

If this is the case, why are her answers to everything “more government!”

She claims to have seen an ugly side of government and authority today.

Yet she wants more of it for Americans?

Weird.

Also she’s TOTALLY lying! https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1145762201619357696

AOC is claiming she visited a CBP Detention Center and saw children being told to “drink out of toilets.”

Sources are reporting that she repeatedly threatened and harassed CBP personnel, and that she also didn’t even tour the facility. What a lying fraud! 🤣

I haven’t seen photo of the Clint, TX facilities that @AOC described today, but it would be interesting if “drinking from the toilet” meant drinking from an attached sink marked “potable water” — like this image from a CBP holding facility in Tuscon (filed in federal court).

Ocasio-Cortez is using the crisis, which was denied for months and allowed to worsen by Congressional Democrats, to get herself more unearned face time in the mainstream media.

“What we saw today was unconscionable,” @AOC says during visit to border facility. “No woman should ever be locked up in a pen, when they have done no harm to another human being. They should be given water. They should be given basic access to human rights.”

AOC is relentless in her manipulative and divisive tactics, as she attacks border patrol and federal officers in an attempt to create open borders socialism.
