Engrish?

you asked if she’d do something just for likes. I pointed out she did. You started more misdirection by saying no one will pat her on the back for a job well done. I’ve already done that too. Then you misdirect again by throwing out how no one will believe her that she was in danger during the riot. So I’ll play.

she might have been in danger, but then a Capitol police officer comes in to save her, but she had to make sure her base knows she doesn’t like cops, either. So when one comes in, what did she say? Something about “he had a look in his eye” because she’d been assaulted before, so this cop that was there for her MUST be the bad guy. It has to be tiring being the victim so often.

But, I’m glad she raised that money when Cruz was on vacation.

Except that's a lie.

On the one-year anniversary of a large protest against the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy that separated migrant children from their parents, photojournalist Ivan Pierre Aguirre posted photographs he took during the June 24, 2018, event in Tornillo, Texas.

One picture captured then-U.S. House of Representatives candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez having an emotional reaction while looking through a fence toward a detention facility housing children. Conspiracy trolls latched on to that image, claiming without evidence that the series of photographs from which is was taken were staged:

“The pictures were ridiculed particularly as there was no sight of actual migrant children during the protest,” Fox News reported.



That’s no surprise, Aguirre told us. The roadway leading to the encampment was closed off to news media and protesters. “Obviously,” he said, “there weren’t kids two feet away.”

But the claim that got the most attention, pushed by viral conspiracy and junk news websites, made unfounded accusations that the photographs of Ocasio-Cortez were fake and that she was actually crying over an empty parking lot.

The conspiracy theory was a low-effort jab that required viewers not ask what lay just beyond the camera lens or seek out additional, readily available information about the event. Police weren’t guarding an empty parking lot, and the photographs weren’t newly uncovered.

The so-called empty parking lot was in fact a roadway leading towards the Tornillo Border Patrol station, where thousands of migrant children were housed in a tent city.

“It wasn’t an empty parking lot; it’s an entrance and we [media and protesters] weren’t allowed to go past that,” Aguirre told us.

He sent us another photograph in which the roadway and the fence blocking access to the migrant camp could be seen:

Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t the first or last person to get emotional after reaching that fence. “She finally got to the fence and right beyond that road, way to the left, was the [migrant tent city] camp, and it represented something that made her emotional,” Aguirre told us. “I’ve been out there, and some people get mad, some people cry, some people pray. No one questioned her [when the photographs were posted] last year.”

Aguirre pointed out that during the 2018 protest he was on assignment for the Texas Tribune, and he — like most Americans at the time — didn’t know who Ocasio-Cortez was.

“It was just a genuine, found moment,” he said. “If we [the news media] weren’t there she still would have broken down, I think. She could see the entrance to the camps out in the distance.”

Aguirre, a freelancer whose work has also been published by the New York Times and Associated Press, told us the photographs of Ocasio-Cortez were just a few of many he captured at the protest that day, which some celebrities also attended, including singer Sia, model Amber Heard, and actresses Lena Dunham and Mira Sorvino.

Oh. My bad. It wasn’t a parking lot. It was the entrance.

You really put me in my place, there.

You think because someone has a certain letter by their name that they’re infallible. You’re polarized by the people “on your side”. You can’t just say “yeah that was some bullshit, what was she thinking”, and move on. Your refusal to call out the fuckfuck games by people with a D next to their name is the same as you crying about people believing that Q horseshit. AOC = Trump. They’re on the same plane, brochacho.

And it wasn't empty, it wasn't staged, and the photos weren't newly uncovered.

That's called a lie. From beginning to end, and you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

Hey Buddy. I've got some radioactive swamp land I'll let you have cheap. Don't tell anybody but there's more oil under it than there is in the whole state of Texas.

Must have gotten that info from Fox News...

The bigger question is .... HOW MUCH OF THAT $ MILLION IS FROM HER OWN BANK ACCOUNT????

NEXT ... how much of that 4 million will actually be used for homeless people?? ... and how much will go to pay her staff, her handlers, the admin of the homeless programs etc??

I would be much more impressed if AOC released a tweet that SHE donated $10K, $100K, etc from her personal account vs that "she" raised money. The real heroes in this story are the people who gave ... not her.
