“In the actual address, there was falsehood after falsehood, and we have to make sure we get the facts straight,” Ocasio-Cortez said, without offering any evidence

Isn't this how the MSM always does it?

IF this idiot had even one ounce of brain matter, she’d shut up, but hey, every time she opens her pie hole, it helps the conservative cause....LOL

Ah, the bimbo speaketh bimbotalk.
Again, always remember the joke of a college that gave this idiot a degree.
In economics.
At my college, core course requirements included two courses in econ - even though I was a math/physics major.
And, I learned more there about econ than this complete cretin has the capacity to absorb.
Love her, love her! We couldn’t have a better example of stupidity, naivety, and the ability of anyone to get a college degree - regardless of mental ability.

Last time I looked 100% of Illegal Aliens commit crimes.

EXACTLY! I recently explained this to a couple of my Latino friends. If you are in this country without the proper permission, whether by overstaying a visa or sneaking in, you have committed a FEDERAL CRIME. IF you sneak into the country, the first thing you have to do to actually exist and live in society, after your initial federal crime, is to commit fraud by using a false identity in some way (Fake Birth Cert., stolen SSN, SSN of an infant....). Either you steal somebody's info or you create an identity that will get you a Driver's License in CA. That will get you a bank account. Then you can rent an apartment and get a credit card. NOW you qualify for government benefits because you have history. It's all FRAUD and felonies.

If we ignore her, will she go away?

No. She's a tool of The Swamp, and they'll continue using her as long as it profits their evil agenda.

I think I’ll take the word of Border Patrol agents who are on the ground on our southern border over a freshman congresswoman from New York.

Yes, this seems a clear pattern of Republicans scurrying off to their safe spaces. Unless they speak up, I presume they are all Never Trumpers.

“Immigrants commit crimes at a far lower rate than native-born Americans.”

When did Trump say otherwise?

Trump was referring to ILLEGAL immigrants, and more specifically, in the context of the Wall, Illegal Immigrants who also ENTER ILLEGALLY, as opposed to visa overstays, for example - as those people are at least screened before entering.

I think she won’t go away. Nancy pelosi is idiotic and look at where she is. She has support from within the party by tactics she learned growing up in a political family in a political community

This woman has backing, support from the give me thats and the leftists. She has no shame. No sense of logic- none. It’s like someone paid her school to give her an economics degree.

She might be here to stay like the Clintons who will never go away

Yeah, the president wasn't talking about immigrants. Immigrants follow the laws and come in according to the rules set by this country. He was talking about illegal aliens - and by definition, every one of them has committed a crime.

_Legal_ immigrants follow the law.


Probably for similar reasons to why CCW holders almost never commit crimes at all.

AOC in time will become a faded item like that brat kid in Florida (can’t remember his name) who tried to become famous in his gun control rant.

You have to look at each population seperately. There are far more citizens than illegals, so going by a straight average, of course the citizen number will be larger.

Everyone who is claiming POTUS lied is making a generic claim.

NONE say, specifically, what he lied about or which “fact” was a lie.
