GOP representative accuses AOC of 'deliberately' misleading Americans about border conditions by showing off working toilet
"Migrants have potable water, have shelter, and are being fed," he said, adding:"The constant attacks against our brave border patrol agents must stop!"
Hice was, of course, referring to the accounts of multiple Democratic congressmembers, including Ocasio-Cortez, who, earlier this month, described being told by at least one migrant woman that she had been told by a border official to drink out of a toilet bowl after complaining of thirst. While Hice took the opportunity in his video to demonstrate how a potable water drinking fountain fixed to a toilet bowl works, Ocasio-Cortez had already made clear the day after her July 1 visit to El Paso detention facilities that the drinking tap she was referring to had not been working on the day of her visit.
"There was just one" potable drinking fountain located in the cell, Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet on July 2."And the sink portion was not functioning." Representative Ayanna Pressley, Ocasio-Cortez had noted at the time,"smartly tried to open the faucet and nothing came out."This was in fact the type of toilet we saw in the cell.smartly tried to open the faucet, and nothing came out.
