Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday denounced Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) after the GOP congressman shared a video from a migrant detention center that he claimed proved she had spread "fake news" about the facility's conditions.
Ocasio-Cortez dismissed King's video, saying that there must be a "genre of videos where GOP House members who clearly didn't read sworn testimony that detention sinks were broken filming themselves drinking out of toilet sinks."
"They're so anti-immigrant they risk pink eye to show off that they didn't do the reading," she wrote on Twitter, adding the hashtag #CloseTheCamps.

The video, which King shared Wednesday on Twitter, showed the lawmaker drinking from a water fountain attached to a toilet during his visit to a migrant detention center near the southern border earlier this year.
"No way was @AOC objectively honest in her #FakeNews spin about the border. Click bait for Snowflakes!" he said in the tweet's caption, an apparent reference to Ocasio-Cortez's account from when she visited a migrant facility.

Let me repeat my offer, the next time Steve King is in the Seattle area he's welcome to drink from my septic tank.
