Ocasio-Cortez Calls for Occupation of Airports, ICE Offices: ‘We Have to Mobilize’

Ice

New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called on protesters rallying under the “Abolish ICE” banner to occupy border crossings, airports and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices across the country.

Ocasio-Cortez made the comments during an interview on Monday with Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, speaking alongside Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau.

Asked by Goodman about her decision to leave New York to join protests at the U.S.-Mexico border just days before the primary in which she defeated Democratic Representative Joseph Crowley in a stunning upset, Ocasio-Cortez said, "There is no convenient time" to "stand up against human rights violations."

"I may have had a primary three days after I went down there, but we're not going to win if we don't stand for everything," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We have to show people that we're willing to walk the walk and put our money where our mouth is," she said.

"Our nation is in a moral crisis," the politician told Goodman, referring to the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" family separation practice, which saw nearly 3,000 migrant children separated from their families at the border before the practice was rescinded last month.

"Every day that we allow the continued violation of those children's rights is the day that I believe the moral character of the United States is at stake," Ocasio-Cortez said.

She is a typical immature teenager, putting mouth in gear before brain is started. It may take her another ten years, or so, for her to mature enough to understand what she is saying.

I appreciate that she has a chronological age a bit higher than that, but with today's liberal education system, many teenagers don't mature until their late thirties.

If the Republican party were not so stupid, I’d swear she was a GOP plant. She puts all the caricatured wackiness of the left on full display for all to see. I hope her message gets out to flyover country and she becomes an albatross around the neck of every desk running in red and purple districts.

I cannot help but think this naive dumbass is a useful idiot for the big party bosses. It’ll be fun to watch what happens when her puppet masters finish with her & decide to throw her under the bus.

Lay down with dogs & you’ll get fleas, honey. You really should pick better “friends”.
