‘Poorly Attended’: Ocasio-Cortez Slams ‘Salute to America’ Celebration with Mistruths

https://i.imgur.com/3RyTYju.png

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) questioned why the Trump administration chose to hold a patriotic “Salute to America” celebration in the nation’s capital Thursday when migrant kids on the border, she suggested, do not have access to toothpaste or soap. She also described the successful event as “poorly attended.”

“Trump spent millions on a poorly attended, 1 day parade days after saying he couldn’t afford toothpaste & soap for caged children,” she tweeted Friday, adding that Trump is holding kids “hostage to secure billions for their abusers:”

There are a number of mistruths in the freshman lawmaker’s tweets. Migrants in U.S. custody have access to basic hygienic products. U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Arizona released a video of chief patrol agent Roy Villareal debunking many of Ocasio-Cortez’s past claims. Feminine hygiene products, clothes, water, toothbrushes pre-loaded with toothpaste, formula, and diapers are readily available to those who need them:

It certainly was well attended, considering it was raining, heavily at times, most of the day.

It was weird, I watched an online version and I didn't even know it was raining. I knew it was crappy looking though. Then I see much better replays today and see it was pouring at times!

See my 'not pro Trump' stance, comes in useful when I can really give him credit. Heck, if he'd get off Twitter and keep all his speeches unifying, I might be able to vote for him in a couple years. Not too worried though. ;)

Keep off Twitter? :laugh: :coffee:

He's not getting your vote!

I really wonder if the reaction to his speech yesterday registers with him? "Hey, there are some that will hate me no matter what I do. Yet, if I just 'say' unifying things, some may move in my direction. Hmm, should I try that?" I'm guessing his answer would be right there with tweets. LOL!

It certainly was well attended, considering it was raining, heavily at times, most of the day.That's a capacity crowd. I can tell you this much:

It's a 5.3 mile run around the Lincoln Memorial. 7.9 around the Washington Monument and 11-something to run all the way around the Capitol. That's starting in Ft Myers, running through Arlington National Cemetery and across the Memorial Bridge. So it's roughly 5 miles from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol.

I don't see any blank spots in the pic save for the Reflecting Pool. That is a LOT of f-ing people. I've been there when it's packed like that.

By contrast, when the left is showing its "protest pics" trying to get you to think they've packed the place, you will note that their pics NEVER have a complete pic of the entire Mall. Because they don't have a crowd so they get the shot with the assclowns in front of the Capitol with the Mall to their backs so you can't see it's no more than the usual sightseers outside the immediate vicinity.

Farrakham's Million Man March comes to mind. See anywhere in that pic in the OP you can march 1M people? Didn't happen.

She is such an idiot. I wonder if she got poor tips as a bartender / server in that discreet joint.

I'm sure I could find some humor in her just plain dumbness. In a dimly lit bar. And drunk.

Anyone in her district who voted for her...did so for only one reason...."POPULARITY" caused by obvious cheers to a Hispanic...liar, hypocrite, and JOB CHASER....that allows everyone who voted for her to KEEP COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT.
After all. In AOC's world. Socialists should never have to work when they can get all of the Promised FREE stuff they want.

AOC is a self serving bitch. At the rate she’s going, she is likely to take the “Liar of the Year” title from the Clintons

Queens, I think - with an overlap into the Bronx. jimnyc might know better.

Why does this surprise any of you? AOC has already made it quite clear that she believes it is far more important to be morally right than to be factually correct (as if you can't be both)
