This is beyond cynical. It’s evil.
Exclusive: New Pics Show AOC ‘Crying’ Photo-Op Was at Empty Parking Lot
Pictures of the congresswoman crying ostensibly at the sight of migrant children turns out to be no such thing
By Tom Elliott, Grabien, June 26, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementMaybe she was sad about the lack of migrant kids available for a photo op?
That’s the question we’re asking after finding new photos of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) at a border entry gate days before she won the Democratic primary.
Photographer Ivan Pierre Aguirre recently posted pictures from AOC’s trip to the border last year, which depict the congresswoman crying, presumably at the sight of migrant children being inhumanely detained.
“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.” Aguirre wrote on Twitter. “I made these previously unpublished fotos a yr ago today.”
AOC helped bring the photos international attention after writing of the images: “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,” she added. “To date, no one has been held accountable. We need to save these kids.”
Here’s the original tweet from Aguirre:

And here is AOC suggesting she’s sobbing at the sight of migrant children being detained:
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

Grabien News searched Getty Images’ archive and located alternate-angle photos from this same event. The images, seen below, indicate AOC was crying at the sight of … an empty parking lot.
Getty photographer Joe Raedle also did not mention migrant children being visible. Here’s his description of the photos: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stands at the Tornillo-Guadalupe port of entry gate on June 24, 2018 in Tornillo, Texas. She is part of a group protesting the separation of children from their parents after they were caught entering the U.S. under the administration’s zero tolerance policy.”
As you can see, from this angle AOC appears to be looking on at … an empty lot.
Perhaps that explains the tears. With a limited campaign budget, AOC didn’t have a lot of room for error.

The useful idiots in her district that actually voted for this self-serving narcissist don’t read GellerReport or Breitbart. You’re all complaining about AOC to a brick wall. The only antidote to this vapid loser is to support a viable candidate that can defeat her in 2020. Republican Party in NY is impotent. That’s been true for a long time. The truth hurts.

Bank of America announced that it would begin severing ties with companies that run private prisons and immigration detention facilities, so that it would no longer lend money to such companies, according to Bloomberg.
Well Fargo and J.P. Morgan have already broken away from the private prison industry, citing risk factors and social justice concerns.

Yeah I should have known that you were just another old azz cracker… Hiding out and trying to talk crap. One thing I know about Buffalo, NY., is that it is filled with racist white people like you. From day one of my moving there. As a black family crackers like you, looked at us, like we had 2 heads attached to our body’s. I guess they were saying to themselves “how could this black family live among us, here in Depew”? LOL
So your ignorant racist shiit does not surprise me at all redneck.. I just look forward to the day your old racist azz dies…. Good bye and Good riddance!– And see you in hell!

When you see the behavior of some members of congress, you can foretell the end of the USA as we knew it. Totally inexcusable behavior by the democRATS show there is nothing they believe in other than power to destroy the country.

I find it pretty galling that a United States Congress-person doesn’t doesn’t have a clue that 83% of the children apprehended at the border and held in HHS custody had no parents with them when they came North. That is why they were called “unattended children”. She also is ignorant of the law in the United States that makes it mandatory, as it should be, that children are not allowed to be placed in adult detention. For someone who purportedly graduated (cum laude) from Boston University and whom we are paying $174,000 per, she is an extremely ignorant person… Question of the day: Why do we pay a bartender all this money to be so obtusely low-information?

Maybe she’s a closet capitalist. She’s crying because the parking lot is empty and no commerce is taking place? This means less tips for the bartenders that didn’t make it to congress. By the picture you can tell she’s very compassionate. Note the expensie watch, probably a gift from Soros.

First of all nobody is sure that they are actually with their parents.
Secondly ‘parents’ who bring children on those illegal journeys should be charged with child abuse. There are also many cases of unaccompanied children arrested/ rescued by CBP. What kind of parent sends their kids on such a dangerous trip?

The DemoncRat hypocrisy:
President Barack Obama, in a 2014 interview with ABC News: Our message absolutely is don’t send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. We don’t even know how many of these kids don’t make it. They may have been waylaid into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train. We have no way of tracking that.
So that is our direct message to the families in Central America. Do not send your children to the borders. If they do make it, they’ll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it.

Illegal adults must be interviewed and held in a secure place until they can be vetted. Kids are not allowed to be held with adults.That means kids and adults have to be separated. That is the LAW for god’s sake. Democrats conveniently ignore laws, just like Trudeau and his Liberals.

Why should she have to repay her student loans? We owe her an education, right??? She needs the money to buy luxury goods such as, but certainly not limited to, her $600 watch. She is a pompous, arrogant, entitled, worthless millennial. It seriously concerns and frightens me that there are so many idiots who praise, respect and admire this crazy-eyed hypocrite and believe her to be genuine, credible and brilliant. Personally, if I had my way, I’d send her Saudi Arabia so she could be suffocated in a $600 burqa.

AN EMPTY PARKING LOT IS APPROPRIATE! FACT IS MEXICO IS A FAILED STATE DUE TO GROSS CORRUPTION, INGRAINED CULTURAL IGNORANCE & RE-ELECTING A COWARD BY THE NAME OF SANTA ANA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY! GOT NEWS FOR THOSE WHO THINK TEXAS WHITES STOLE TX FROM MEXICO! MEXICAN LEADER, SANTA-ANA GAVE TX ON BEHALF OF MEXICO FULL INDEPENDENCE SO TX LEADER, SAM HOUSTON WOULDN’T HANG HIM! LATER INCOMPETENT COWARD SANTA ANA LOST THE MEXICANS THE AMERICAN-MEXICAN WAR THAT HE STARTED WITH HIS INCOMPETENCE AFTER MEXICO RE-ELECTED HIM AS THEIR LEADER DESPITE ALL THE TREASONOUS WRONG HE DID THEM TO SAVE HIS OWN SKIN!
Mexico can be contrasted to Argentina which bred political leader, Juan Domingo Peron who was a real rightist-nationalist first and foremost. Even when the globalist bankers forced him out of office using the military to overthrow him with the help of the Roman Catholic Church, his followers never gave up and he returned to die President of the country that he loved with his soul and then infirm body unlike Mexican leaders, none of whom would have the right to stand in his shadow! An example of how the globalists who overthrew Nixon in 1974 BECAUSE HE REFUSED A FREE TRADE DEAL AGAINST US INTERESTS operate is how they then overthrew his wife and heir, Isabel Martinez de Peron AND TRUE PERONIST, PHILOSOPHER OF ARGENTINIAN NATIONALISM, JOSE LOPEZ REGA BY MANIPULATING THEIR CURRENCY WHEN THEY TRIED TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THE DEBT SYSTEM THE GLOBALIST-BANKING CLIQUE USE TO BRING DOWN REAL RIGHTISTS JUST LIKE THEY WERE HOPING TO DO WITH HILLARY CLINTON BRINGING IN THE FULLNESS OF NAFTA/NORTH AMERICAN UNION IN 2016 AND THE AMERO CURRENCY SCAM!

The large picture for Central America is to move jobs there from Asia and put Central Americans to work. Jobs in textiles, clothing, and light manufacturing. Give them a reason to stay home. At the same time we should be hunting down and killing the drug gangsters and jailing corrupt politicians. It’s time to Make Central America Great Again. MCAGA BABY!

Wow! She sure learn the ropes fast. Whatever happened to the investigation into her fundraising. There was some story about that a few months ago and I never heard anything about it. Her and one of her aides had embezzled over million dollars from her campaign fund. How the hell did that disappear?
