WATCH: AOC Shares Edited Video Blaming Trump For Poor Border Conditions During Obama-Era
The Obama administration was responsible for what happened.
And yet, NowThis, a far-left propaganda group, edited a video to make it seem as though it was the Trump administration’s fault.
AOC doesn’t care. AOC likes to spread lies.
Check out the edited video:

The problem? Here it is…
Let me give you an example of just how dishonest all these arguments have been:
How many people are aware that the conditions being discussed in this viral clip from the legal case re toothbrushes and sleep occurred during the Obama administration? https://t.co/RgEqX8zBqB

And here are AOC’s comments about the edited video. Of course, her radical fan base ate it up…
When a powerful entity is trying to grow a system of human rights abuse (which is what this is) it’s on ALL of us, from smallest to biggest, to throw sand in the gears and stop it.
We cannot be compliant with child abuse. These judges are astounded at the argument for it ⬇️

Reactions:
This was an appeal of a 2017 ruling related to a violation of the Flores agreement during the Obama admin. The gov’t lawyer’s job is not to argue about whether ICE should provide those things (they should), but that the Obama admin didn’t violate the Flores agreement.

Her argument has nothing to do with any unique policy from the current administration. Informed people know that, but they have been using this for days to suggest some unique and intentional cruelty is being enforced now.

Here was the ruling they are reviewing. You will notice that the original finding of a breach of the Flores agreement occurred in 2015.

And people might wants to ask themselves why this basic and clearly significant fact has been ignored as this clip went viral and received a bunch of media coverage….

Maybe you can spend some of that extra money you’re making and send them some care packages instead of demanding that we do it?

Help AOC. What’s the responsibility of an elected LEGISLATOR here?
1) Provide necessary funds/resources for ppl detained for asylum/immigration processing, and work at reforming the law to reduce the duration and necessity of detainment.
2) “throw sand in the gears”

If you’re a “cool” freshman member of Congress, such as Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar (MN), you can do whatever you please and get away with it.
Well, that pretty much pertains to every member of Congress – but that’s beside the point.
AOC and Omar may have been caught violating the rules, but they’re going to skate.
Craziness.
From Daily Caller:
House progressives are violating congressional rules by using a dark money group to help accomplish their caucus’s legislative goals, experts told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The leaders of the 97-member Congressional Progressive Caucus could face a formal censure or reprimand for using outside funds and services from the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center (CPCC), a nonprofit group, according to the experts. House rules prohibit congressional caucuses from accepting such support from outside organizations.
But although the progressive caucus’s relationship with the outside charity group “seems like a clear violation of the rule,” there likely won’t be any consequences anytime soon, Acton Institute editor Joe Carter, who has researched congressional caucuses, told TheDCNF.
