Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., fired back at Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, on Wednesday night, hours after he tweeted a video of himself drinking water from a sink attached to a toilet at a migrant detention center, calling the congresswoman “#FakeNews” for claiming migrants were drinking from the toilet.
“There is a genre of videos where GOP House members – who clearly didn’t read sworn testimony that detention sinks were broken- filming themselves drinking out of toilet sinks,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to King.

They’re so anti-immigrant they risk pink eye to show off that they didn’t do the reading #CloseTheCamps https://t.co/uYLxQqxSej

“They’re so anti-immigrant they risk pink eye to show off that they didn’t do the reading #CloseTheCamps,” she added.
Several hours earlier, King posted that he visited the same cell where Ocasio-Cortez had reported migrants were drinking from the toilet.
“I took a drink out of there,” he tweeted, referring to the sink above the toilet. “And actually pretty good!”
“No way was @AOC objectively honest in her #FakeNews spin about the border,” he wrote of the congresswoman’s assertion about subpar conditions. “Click bait for Snowflakes!”
King suggested the initial claim came from a “language barrier” that resulted in “misinformation” about facilities.
Ocasio-Cortez said that migrants at the detention centers were being forced to drink “out of toilets” hours after she toured one of the locations in July.

But, really… making a ass of Sandy? How hard is that? Maybe she would respect his efforts more if he staged photos of looking distressed and concerned outside a cage of abused illegal immigrants that was, in fact, a fence around an empty parking lot? Maybe that’s the level of honesty she appreciates.
“Rep Steve King makes an ass of AOC”
She doesn’t need any help as she does quite well on her own every time she opens her trap. “The Squad” is lucky if they have a single brain cell between the four of them.
Isnt it just like a man to leave the seat up.
