Looks like ol’ Jim Treacher’s getting all bent out of shape about this story, but right out the box I’m not buying Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s story — and nor are others. Here’s why I feel the way I do.
1) AOC is a habitual liar. In her short career as a House Rep., AOC has lied, fabricated and exaggerated about just about everything: her background, her home life, her campaign finances… the list is endless, because she lies every time she speaks, and she speaks constantly: a nonstop barrage of bullshit.
2) All socialists lie, whether to conceal crimes (e.g. Hillary Clinton and her illegal email server) or to further their agenda (e.g. gun controllers using false data), or in service of their philosophy (“we protect the people against the bosses”), or for immediate political gain (the current border emergency). AOC is just a poster-child for this lying.
When AOC says that Border Patrol officers threatened her, I don’t believe her. It’s quite possible they made fun of her or made derogatory remarks to each other about her — but that’s not a threat.
What I think happened was that Representative Snowflake may have felt threatened by having a bunch of armed officers standing around her — gun-fearing wussies often are — and they may not have given her the respect she felt she deserves — fair enough, considering that she wants to eliminate all their jobs — but none of that is threatening behavior. The fact is that her “fact-finding” mission was a total bust: she couldn’t find any evidence of bad stuff to buttress her absurd claims of “border concentration camps”, so she’s made up all these bullshit accusations to compensate (not to mention being overcome with grief at the sight of an empty parking lot).
This silly little girl’s fifteen minutes of fame are almost up, and I hope that the voters of her district show some sense and toss her skinny ass out of Congress next year.
And perhaps Treacher’s pearl-clutching is actually satirical, but it sure doesn’t read like that.
*If actual proof of threats and such become available — note the word proof — then I’ll change my opinion. I won’t be holding my breath.
