He just dropped a VERY valid point that no one has mentioned before…
Our favorite socialist superstar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is at it again. This time she tried to pin the blame for migrant detention on ex-ICE Director Tom Homan.
Homan was a director of ICE during the Obama administration.
Ocasio-Cortez was trying to hammer Homan and blame him for the family separation policy.
Homan hit back, and left AOC speechless, which doesn’t happen every day.
Watch the entire exchange.
This is exactly what happens when a freshman congresswoman gets too big for her britches. And Ocasio-Cortez got exactly what she deserves.
She has to realize that there are people who are a lot smarter than she is, with a whole lot of experience dealing with pesky and incompetent politicians.
Partial transcript:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “ — it says the official recommendation, there were three different options presented. The third included the option for family separation. This initiative would pursue prosecution of all amenable adults, including those presenting with the family unit. Mr. Homan, your name is on this, is this correct?”
HOMAN: “Yes, I signed that memo.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “So you are the author of the family separation policy?”
HOMAN: “I am not the author of this memo.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “You’re not the author, but you signed the memo?”
HOMAN: “Yes. A zero — a zero-tolerance memo.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “So you provided the official recommendation to Secretary Nielsen on family — for the United States to pursue family separation?”
HOMAN: “I gave Secretary Nielsen numerous recommendations on how to secure the border and save lives.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “But it says here that you gave her numerous options, but the recommendation was option three, family separation.”
HOMAN: “What I’m saying, this is not the only paper where we’ve given the Secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “And so, the recommendation, of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation?”
HOMAN: “I recommended zero tolerance.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Which includes family separation?”
HOMAN: “The same as with every US citizen parent gets arrested when they’re with a child.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents.”
HOMAN: “If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in the car, I will be separated. When I was a police officer in New York, and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from his family.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.”
HOMAN: “When you enter the country illegally, it’s violation 8 United States Code 1325.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Seeking asylum is legal.”
HOMAN: “If you want to seek asylum, you go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.”
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Okay. Mr. Chair, the memo is — is submitted to the record for review.”

it’s obvious AOC is talking out her wazoo . . . Homan is correct. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
The bimbo from New York needs to be tried for sedition and hung,
Don’t call her AOC, special titles are for special people unless in this case AOC means Ass of Congress!
Will we have just ONE DAY that ocasio-cortez don’t try to turn our country in to a hell hole that she wants to rule?
If you think I am stupid and rude, I am a Sr. Cit. who has worked hard all my life so our family has a decent country. I am a AMERICAN BORN SR. CIT. My father , his 5 brothers, my 2 brothers, 1 sister, my husband’s brother all were in the military to help keep OUR COUNTRY SAFE .And now this bimbo from NYC wants to destroy it .
She needs to back to tending bar and leave OUR COUNTRY alone.
That’s a great idea….a ‘bar’ would be more appropriate for AOC. Out of her league wuthnpolitucs….flapping jaws is all she does. When she grows up maybe she’ll get herself together!
Decent people understand that those who are corrupt will always be found to be in support of what’s immoral, criminal or illegal and , even a blind fool can tell from a mile away that this (AOC) idiot is nothing but a propagandist who cannot tell right from wrong.
Let’s Put Her in a 100% LBQGT Bar and See Just How Long She Would Last…
How About Putting Her in a 100% LBGT Bar and See How Long She Would Last There…
AOC is clearly ‘sharp tongued’ and evidently ‘brainless’ as well. She distorts truths with her vicious and vindictive epitaphs. Those who voted her in office got what they deserve. Ms. AOC is the gift that keeps on giving…..you simply have got to ❤ her…..LOL.
This Grandstander who acts as though she has the facts in her scripted questioning shows how IGNORANT SHE IS CONCERNING THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY.
She was on a fishing expedition, glad Homan was too smart for her. Every time she opens her mouth she embarises the demonrat party, LOL,LOL,LOL.
This girl is totally and I mean totally unaware or a pathological liar, either way she needs to go away ,she knows nothing about anything she talks about, she doesn’t know law’s she don’t know what she’s reading and obviously can’t comprehend the written word.
And this fool is in our congress ,shame on you democrats for voting in a socialist commie moron.
Nobody cares to mention the reason for separation? It is for the safety of the child, in all cases. Is AOC in favor of harming children? Or allowing them to be harmed? Many if not most illegals now come with children that are not their own just to get special treatment. Is AOC aware of that?
They should do like one county in California did in their welfare department which proved that5 children were for rent for better – higher welfare benefits. Every applicant had to bring in the full family to be photographed or no benefits. It was amazing how families claimed the same children as their own. They did not receive any benefits other than a jail sentence for welfare fraud.
How many illegal immigrant children will have a whole flock of parents claiming them as their own children??
This type of fraud is absolutely RAMPANT in our society, yet no one is allowed to question these people for fear of being labeled racist. The way I see it, if we, the taxpayers, would demand accountability, and even a healthy degree of cynicism on the part of our government, we would likely end up saving hundreds of millions of dollars. Those who are seeking benefits don’t get to make the rules, and if they don’t like being scrutinized, then they should get their worthless, dishonest a$$es back to where they came from. And if they need a little shove to get them started, there are countless volunteers who would be happy to accommodate.
Mr HOMAN made you look like a ignorant, empty headed moron. Please spare us all and get the hell out of politics. It’s one thing for you to open your mouth and everyone “KNOW” that you’re a fool. It’s better to keep quiet and make them wonder if you are one. But you are simply embarrassing yourself.
If I have a 5 year old son with me and I’m arrested by the police for being drunk and driving. Don’t you think they separate us then????? YES, THEY DO! Illegals coming across our southern border (the illegal breaking Federal law) they separate the child from the parents as well.
YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY??? How do you even know that the adult with the child is even a PARENT????????????????
GO TRUMP 2020
The corrupt will always support any of what’s immoral, criminal or illegal, and this (AOC) is but a propagandist fool who knows not right from wrong.
She is going out of control and NEEDS TO BE PUT IN HER PLACE.!! Does she ever do any investigation herself or does she let her flunkies do it for her. Every time she opens her mouth she lies. Why does she get fact checked all the time. Because she is an absolute IDIOT. She waltz’s into Congress like she owns the place. Hasn’t been there a year yet and she thinks she’s the one with all the power. God Help Us All. God Bless America and President Trump.
Maybe if AOC understood the laws in America, maybe she wouldn’t look so stupid in these hearings!!!
AOC doesn’t need any help from anybody in making her look stupid she does a good job of that all by herself
that idiot needs to have a physic test and a MRI of her head to see if any thing in there besides rocks
Can you imagine how hard it is for her to hire a staff dumber than she is to make her appear smart?
Can you imagine if she would work as hard for the kids that live that has not in the Bronx’s, I’m sure there are family’s in her district that voted for her have not laid eyes on her and will not until next election. I bet she does not have a office in her district.
AOC is a graduate member of close cover before striking law school with honors.
