A pair of pastors responded to claims made by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that she’s being truthful about conditions at border detention facilities, insisting she isn’t.
One of the pastors, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, who paid his own visit to the same exact facility, already claimed the New York Democrat Representative was woefully misinformed on the matter.
“To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse,” Rodriguez reported. “We found no soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities.”
“Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S.,” he added according to a Fox News report. “I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded by stomping her feet and complaining on Twitter that “the right” is “saying I’m lying.”
No dear, reality is saying you’re lying.
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. https://t.co/1JR8oSkk9X

Actually, it’s pretty easy to assert.
The members of Congress are fellow Democrats who support open borders. The ‘migrant testimony’ is from agenda-driven doctors who interviewed and coached children with a significant language barrier. And the Inspector General photos show little more than over-crowding, which is a product of decades of Democrat inaction on securing our border.

Rodriguez responded to the ‘testimony’ in an interview on Fox News, noting that the information being disseminated by politically motivated liberals involves reports “anecdotally to interviews with children, with children mind you, from the age of 2 to the age of 17.”
Ocasio-Cortez is Lying
The Hispanic pastor, who has no agenda as an adviser to President Trump and former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama on immigration reform, excoriated Ocasio-Cortez insistence that her stories – involving women drinking from toilets and border agents sexually threatening her – are real.
“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 said. “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!”
He added that the Democrat contingent inspecting the facility “never visited what I visited” and noted that a “vast majority” of border patrol agents “are Latino and many attended churches.”
Kevin Wallace, pastor of Redemption to the Nations Church, also toured the facility with Rodriguez and quipped that Ocasio-Cortez’ claims are “totally absurd.”
“The congresswoman is entitled to her opinion, but her opinion should never shape the truth,” Wallace said during an interview on Fox & Friends. “The truth doesn’t have a side. The truth stands on its own and people with integrity have got to make up their mind to stand on the side of truth, and the facts that we saw were there.”
Truth is not something this congresswoman is interested in. She is, after all, the same person who declared facts don’t matter as long as you are morally right.

HOW CAN YOU TELL SHE’S LYING????? ——HER LIPS ARE MOVING!!!!!
As is usual Rusty, this article is just a huge pile of bovine manure.
–Of course she was lying !-
This dolt needs a polygraph permanently attached.
AOC is a Marxist Communist, PERIOD!
Her existence is a lie…..
Lying got her elected. In her mind you don’t ditch what worked before.
AOC, you have reached the point where no reasonable person is going to believe you even if you accidentally told the truth about something.
The tolerant left? REALLY? I will dine at home. I’ll keep my money too.
There are mentally disturbed people all over the U.S. It seems that they are primarily found in the North East and Far West coast. The idea that there is a high concentration in the Bronx N.Y. enough to vote this sorry POS into Congress is highly disturbing. They are still there. Very disturbing!
How do you know a democrats lying? Their mouth is open.
Every time she opens her mouth shitt rolls out.
This is nothing new. All of the Dems lie with every breath they take. What a waste of humanity.
Do you mean “deluded”? “Diluted” is something that happens when you water down a drink.
With an AGENDA not of honorable, decent, compassionate nor principled intentions! Born of a deity mentioned on clay tablets found in Babylon around 1770 BC! A moon god of violence and revolution whose history is well documented in America and world history! For over two thousand years has bred a history of violence and terror never seen before! With depravity and deceit their defining agenda traits, annihilation of those who don’t obey them, and total control over what’s left, the weak! Who become slaves! Similar to the former Democrat Party that has become the weak enslaved, and diluted! I ALMOST feel sorry for them and their fall from power! UH??? I said; “ALMOST”! RIGHT? Right!
She is the greatest “self promoter” in history. Illusion of grandeur at the highest level!
We know AOC lies every time she talks
ofcourse the democrats would lie they want open borders and to embarass potus. answer independent group. maybe health inspectors . or [lol] the cdc.
breaking the collective-noses would be a good start.
I do not think the Democrats know how to tell the truth or even see it even if it hits them in the face and breaks their nose! Democrats have an agenda and that is to ruin America and the ones coming here illegally are happy to help them turn America into the country they left because it did not give them free housing, free food and free many other things mean while they work and get paid under the table which they send home so some day they can go back and live a rich life in their own country!
Little Ms, Ocrazio-Cortex needs to be put on a tight leash and have a muzzle put on her big mouth!
I think I speak for the fed up group of people who wants Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Obama etc et al tried for treason and we are about to burst if nobody is going to go to jail for the attempted coup. You want political violence, its coming if these people are not tried for sedition at a minimum
Treason? You mean like this?
The trouble is, the Demmunists’ “acceptable standards for individual behavior” include lying, stealing, cheating, KILLING, if necessary, and even committing TREASON by trying to overthrow a sitting American President, in their CONSTANT attempts to get political power and control over the rest of us! Oh, you think they don’t kill? Ask Judge Scalia and Seth Rich–I’m sure THEY would have a different opinion on the matter–IF you were able to talk to them, which you can’t, because they are DEAD.
Nancy Pelosi Do Your JOB!!!…Censure is a formal, and public, group condemnation of an individual, often a group member, whose actions run counter to the group’s acceptable standards for individual behavior. … Congress adopted a resolution allowing censure, which is “stronger than a simple rebuke, but not as strong as expulsion.”
I wonder why my comment to you went above yours. Maybe I need more practice?
I’m not sorry. I am going to use your “lips moving” comment from now on. :-)
srry Farmgirl didn’t see your post in time
Pelosi and Shumbler were very good teachers and AOC responded well and caught on quickly!!! If their lips are moving they are lying!!!!!!!
And I feel So Sorry for them. They should be immediately shoved into cattle trucks & taken back from whence they came.
Really – that applies to Trump not the lovely Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez known in some circles as AOC. O they didn’t find soiled diapers, no deplorable conditions and no lack of basic necessities. I see the twisting of the truth. The fake spin.

You can tell when AOC is lying; she opens her mouth.
She had to lie about this situation because she is a good card carrying commie and their rules force you to lie at every opportunity no matter what.
