Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ted Cruz went after eachother over immigration policy on Twitter on Thursday.
The Texas Republican, who recently traveled to the US-Mexico border to highlight the recent rise in migrant crossings, claimed the New York Democrat is pushing for a "full open borders" policy. Ocasio-Cortez in turn attacked Cruz for recently escaping his home state during its power grid collapse to vacation in Cancún, Mexico with his family.
She suggested Mexico shouldn't let Cruz in next time he tries to vacation there, and again called on him to resign from office (a demand she first made after Cruz voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election).
"Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Also you funded cages, expanded cages, and yet you're complaining about cages. You have no policy, just puff."

(43,776 posts)volume and sheer obsessive manifestation. Many of them also operate with openly malicious bad faith towards her as well. One problematic and/or false frame/false statement is often made by one of the lead songbirds and the rest of the tag-along chorus of usual suspects chirps along in amplifying approval despite the original dross being outright debunked or at least put into proper context on the vast majority of occasions. Even if/when the attack is exposed for its lack of substance (and in multiple cases its outright falsity) and/or properly placed into mitigating context, the Swarm will oh-so-often shamelessly lather, rinse, repeat the same claptrap and tactics elsewhere, seemingly ad infinitum.
