AOC Downplays Biden’s Border Crisis: People ‘Like To Weaponize It,’ ‘Pretend’ It’s A ‘New Emergency’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to downplay President Joe Biden’s border crisis this week by falsely suggesting that it was not as bad as the situation under former President Donald Trump and claiming that people were trying to “weaponize” the situation.

Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks during a virtual town hall event for her 14th Congressional District in New York, which comes after she has been called out for weeks over her silence about the crisis that has erupted on the southern border under Biden.
