Reports: Ocasio-Cortez Had a Total Meltdown at U.S. Border Patrol Facility
She is the queen of the tantrum. No seriously, I mean Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a talented actress. Maybe we should give her some credit (I use that phrase VERY lightly) in that she seems willing to shoot inside the ship, much to the ire of the Democratic leadership. Whatever the case, it still doesn’t negate the fact that she’s a partisan and she’s become the Right’s favorite target for one simple reason: she peddles trash views on policy. She’s one of the main proponents of the Green New Deal, which is a multi-trillion dollar policy perception that ends with the economic death of the United States. On border security, she’s equally a joke, being the face of the abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement movement on the Hill. She recently toured a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, where she reportedly had a full-blown tantrum, yelling at Border Patrol agents. Ana Giaritelli of The Washington Examiners reported on this blow-up, and other Democrat reportedly had similar episodes. Oh, and there were pro-Trump protesters at the presser as well. They heckled Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX).
"What we saw today was unconscionable," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez says during visit to border facility. "No woman should ever be locked up in a pen, when they have done no harm to another human being. They should be given water. They should be given basic access to human rights." pic.twitter.com/rXVQEvT8hZ

SCOOP: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents “in a threatening manner” during a visit to a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, Monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed it.

13 other House Democrats as well as their aides were in the room. I'm told only Rep. Ocasio-Cortez reacted in this manner. https://t.co/XdH5Fpru0z

The cause for AOC’s intense reaction is grounded in allegations that border patrol agents were telling illegals to drink from toilets (via NBC News):
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Monday described the abysmal conditions she and other members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus witnessed after visiting two immigration detention facilities in Texas, including Customs and Border Patrol officers telling detained women to “drink out of the toilets.”
