Pastors stand ground on conditions of border facility after AOC claps back
[FOXNEWS] Two pastors stood their ground after Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
, D-N.Y., seemed to dispute their claims that conditions at facilities they toured were "drastically different" from what she saw.

Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Hispanic Christian organization, and senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento, asked the White House if he could take a group of pastors to see for themselves the reported deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants colonists at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center.

He said what they saw was vastly different than what the congresswoman described was occurring there. Ocasio-Cortez said the conditions were so deplorable, detainees were forced to drink water from the toilets.

Ocasio-Cortez responded to the backlash in a tweet last night: "The right is responding to what’s been exposed at the border by denying it & saying I’m lying. Hard to assert when the details I shared are corroborated by other members of Congress, court documents, migrant testimony, and now photos released today by the Inspector General."

The Trump adviser, who has previously advised both Presidents Barack Obama
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
and George W. Bush on immigration, responded on "Fox @ Night" Tuesday.

"I must be living in a parallel universe somewhere...I did not find soiled diapers. I did not find crying children. I did not find deplorable conditions," Rodriguez told Fox News host Shannon Bream. "Quite the opposite. I found amazing people on both sides trying to make a very difficult circumstance better. I don't know where everyone else is visiting! I spoke to border patrol agents, the vast majority of which are Latino and many attended churches that are part of our network, and I asked, 'Hey guys, did you stage this? Did you flip the script to accommodate people like me?' And they went 'Pastor Sam, absolutely not. You are looking at the very thing that existed here for a number of weeks, so it's not that we shifted because of any deplorable conditions that were discovered.'"

#1 First time a young waitress was eĺected to Congress. And a sorry one at that. If the women were drinking from the toilet why didn't she demand a bar back assistant and a keg of ceveja???

#2 She has yet to explain how they have no running water yet drink out of toilets. About as sharp as a bag of wet leather.

#3 Are toilets as "bougie" as garbage disposals? Teachers and grade school kids in Denver and Portland want to know...

#4 Security facilities often have combination sink/toilets in detention cells.

So in reality she wasn't too far off, but she misrepresented what she actually saw or heard.

No surprise there.
