You may have seen the pictures released this week showing Alexandria “They’re Concentration Camps” Ocasio-Cortez one year ago outside the tent city in Tornillo, Texas, right on the Mexican border.
Before @AOC hit the national stage & was just a fairly unknown House candidate frm NYC,she took time awy frm her campaign & came dwn to #Tornillo to protest the #tentcity housing migrant children.I made these previously unpublished fotos a yr ago today. #elpaso #aoc #onassignment pic.twitter.com/SWyyI1XVt9

AOC was quick to point out how important that moment was to her:
I’ll never forget this, because it was the moment I saw with my own eyes that the America I love was becoming a nation that steals refugee children from their parents,& caged them.
More kids died after this. To date, no one has been held accountable.
We need to save these kids. https://t.co/HhdMqc5zML

If you can look at those pictures without feeling this woman’s genuine anguish and sincere concern for the plight of those people, I question your very soul. Obviously, whatever she saw on the other side of that fence was horrible and inhumane.
By the way, here’s what she saw on the other side of that fence:
So AOC was really just trying to get some stock border crisis images for Getty. The “crying at the border” pics were just crying at cars behind a fence 🤷🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/AHGd7B7Jx2

Searched Grabien’s PhotoBank and found these alternate angle pics of @AOC where her sad-face pics were shot. Apparently she was crying about the lack of migrant children for her photo op. pic.twitter.com/8FMB8OQR6K

“Look at all that available parking space! [SOB]”
In other AOC concentration camp news, she just voted against the border spending package. It’s not often that a Democrat doesn’t want to throw money at a problem, particularly when the problem is Latin-American children in trouble, so I just wanted to note her newfound sense of fiscal responsibility. We’ll make a Republican out of AOC yet.
Correction: It wasn’t an empty parking lot. It was the road leading to the Tornillo-Guadalupe detention facility. AOC was photographed crying outside the port of entry.
