When I first saw the photos of AOC and crew all dressed in white outfits outside the parking lot I thought of all the stereotypes of Mexican peasants in the old movies...

I don't know if anyone here cares about NYC politics other than to pile on this little wench, but her effect is spreading.
The DA for Queens County (where part of AOC district lies), went belly up. So they needed to have a special election to replace him. It looks like the socialist candidate she supported won the Democratic Primary. It's a tight race, and I don't think the results have been formalized yet.
So don't expect anyone to be prosecuted for anything other than discrimination/hate crimes in Queens from now on. And this victory sets up AOC to actually be something power broker in the Democratic party, at least in NY.

I don't think she's actually piloting the ship.
Yet I view this as a huge positive. The more power this nitwit acquires, or thinks she's acquired, the better. There's a huge group of voters out their in the middle who need to be fully convinced just how off the rails the Dem party is, and AOC's the perfect spokesperson to drive that point home. So sing it loud and proud sweetie...

Regarding this AOC claim about the BP forcing illegals to drink out of toilets:
Oh FFS, no Border Patrol is doing this. She’s just trying to keep pushing this ridiculous “concentration camps” BS after she was called out by REAL concentration camp survivors. I’m not sure about you but I’m quickly tiring of this ignorant, loudmouthed, know-nothing CHILD.

AOC screamed at Border Patrol agents in 'threatening manner' during tour: Witnesses
by Anna Giaritelli July 01, 2019 04:04 PM Washington Examiner
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents “in a threatening manner” during a visit to a Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed the incident.
A group of 14 House Democrats, including Ocasio-Cortez, and their aides kicked off their visit to the region at about 11 a.m. MST Monday at the El Paso Station on Hondo Pass Drive.
The group was standing inside the station near an area where migrants are held when Ocasio-Cortez left them to sit inside a nearby holding area with a family as the other lawmakers and aides were briefed on station operations.
“She comes out screaming at our agents, right at the beginning [of the tour] … Crying and screaming and yelling,” said one witness who said he was stunned by the outburst in front of approximately 40 people.
“The agents, they wanted to respond, but they held back because she’s a congressional delegate. But when you have someone yelling at you in a threatening manner … ” the same person said. “They were like, ‘Hey, you need to kinda step back.’”
A second official said she went in and out of the cell during the group’s briefing nearby and returned to the group several times to share information she had learned from detainees, including that one person had drunk from a toilet.
The congresswoman told the group she would not go with the 13 other House Democrats on the tour of the facility and stayed with the family.
A second official said that while she was around agents, Ocasio-Cortez commented at another point about an unofficial Border Patrol Facebook page that was exposed earlier Monday for offensive content about those in custody and lawmakers, including the congresswoman.
“Something under her breath, ‘Oh, all these guys in here are gonna f--k me.’ The agents are standing there behind the computers. One of the agents laughed at something he was saying to another agent, and she got irate and flipped out,” the second Border Patrol official said. “Now they’re under investigation for it. She took it as they were laughing at her and screams at them and says, ‘What’s so funny?’”
CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the internal affairs matter. The Border Patrol official said managers were in the process of taking statements from agents.
The Washington Examiner submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to CBP for video of the events.
The congresswoman, who led a charge in 2018 to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, recounted the scene differently in a social media post afterward and did not mention yelling at agents.
“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?'” she wrote on Twitter.
“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,” she tweeted. “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.”
The agent on scene said the congresswoman misrepresented why a person in custody had drunk from a toilet.
“So this is what happened with the migrant and drinking water from toilet: she wanted water, didn’t know how to use the faucet in the cell, and drank from the toilet. She never told AOC that we made her drink from the toilet. AOC, of course, changed it … This was when she [the migrant] was apprehended and brought into the facility,” according to the agent.
A Border Patrol official familiar with the sector’s media and congressional visits said the city’s congresswoman, Veronica Escobar, has been through stations “15 times” but did not respond in the same way as her colleague on Monday. Later in the visit, the first official said Escobar "yelled" at El Paso Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Hull about its care of detainees.
“We’ve never hidden anything from her,” the official said.
She needs to be removed from office now. She is a disgrace, an embarrassment and totally not qualified to be in the position she is in. I know this is nothing new but we need to deal with the idiots in our government before there are more.
