The Washington Post fact-checked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statements that President Trump has not transferred money to combat the nation’s opioid crisis and gave her three Pinocchios for the “highly misleading” remarks.

In a tweet on March 8, the freshman Democratic lawmaker criticized Trump for wanting to divert money via a national emergency declaration to build a wall on the southern border but did not take the same action over opioid overdoses.

“Amount President Trump has transferred from other agencies to fund his ‘Build the Wall’ Emergency: $10s of millions, & has identified billions more. Amount he’s transferred to address the Opioid National Emergency: $0,” she wrote in the tweet that was liked and retweeted nearly 50,000 times.

Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet was in response to a posting from C-SPAN that showed her questioning James Carroll, the White House director of drug policy, and linking the crisis at the border with the opioid epidemic.

“So, we’ve got two emergencies, one is treated with an actual action and the other is just to raise awareness,” C-SPAN quoted her as saying.

The newspaper’s fact-checker said she incorrectly compared two different situations.

“Trump wanted almost $6 billion for his wall, which Congress refused. But Congress acted to give the administration more than $6 billion for the opioid crisis, so there was little need for him to transfer funds without congressional authorization,” the Washington Post concluded on Tuesday.

Trump declared a national emergency last month after Congress refused to approve $5.7 billion he wanted to build the wall.

The White House believes the declaration would allow him to divert funds from other agencies and put the money toward the border barrier.

In August 2017, Trump, acting on recommendations by a task force, urged his administration to “respond to the crisis caused by the opioid epidemic.”

Two months later, then-acting Health and Human Services Secretary Eric Hargan declared a “nationwide public health emergency.”

Following that declaration, Congress approved $6 billion to fight the crisis.

“One can question the effectiveness of the Trump response to the opioid epidemic without resorting to red herrings and false equivalency. Only in the most narrow technical way is her statement correct, so we cannot quite consider this a Four-Pinocchio claim. So Ocasio-Cortez earns three,” the Washington Post wrote.
