Is there a more reliably self-righteous, intellectually dishonest, insufferably wrong, and downright malicious Democrat in office right now than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Because this is absolutely vile:

Rep. @AOC responds to Republicans who say a physical barrier should be part of a border funding bill: “They should not be using a humanitarian crisis as a bargaining chip.” pic.twitter.com/OHyBEsPK7v — The Intercept (@theintercept) June 27, 2019

She’s so proud of herself, she even retweeted it for good measure:

Sorry … who’s been using a humanitarian crisis as a bargaining chip, again?

That’s exactly what you have done! — Sandy Krohn (@sandykrohn1) June 27, 2019

They were calling for a wall long before the Democrats allowed this to grow into a crisis. She is really stupid. — Les (@allflyhigher) June 27, 2019

You and your cohorts have been doing that from day one — ERLaVache (@ErVache) June 27, 2019

I thought there wasn’t an emergency at the border. Congressional Democrats have denied it for months. They have also voted against funding to help deal with the crisis at the boarder. — M.Hales (@mack_hale) June 27, 2019

But you said it wasn't a crisis not 3 months ago and the border has been an issue for years. Perhaps you shouldn't use this as a bargaining chip. — DCdcoder (@DcDcoder) June 27, 2019

Except she is citing the crisis as a means to forward her policy goals too. And she’s using extremist rhetoric in order to achieve it. — Brown Man Speaketh ?? (@BrownManSpeak) June 27, 2019

AOC has been absolutely brazen and unapologetic about using this “humanitarian crisis” to build herself up and score the cheapest of cheap political points.

No just as a social media strategy to gain more followers and support. — Tommy Turner (@TommyKeptTurnin) June 27, 2019

Says the woman who posed in front of a parking lot pretending to be overwhelmed by emotion over a humanitarian crisis.? — CTmommy⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@ctmommy) June 27, 2019

Yet she exploits the problem to take a photo op of herself while looking at a parking lot. pic.twitter.com/8tRlqexJis — Geoff (@killroy2963) June 27, 2019

She would also like to see the company providing beds to stop . . . — Mark Kelly (@MarkdKelly2) June 27, 2019

But blocking delivery of beds for children in detention isn’t a humanitarian crisis that you are using as a bargaining chip? — GLD8912 (@bsenett88091) June 27, 2019

What do you call denying children beds? You either truly don't care that kids are sleeping on concrete OR you're "using the crisis as a bargaining chip". Pick one! — Casey (@Casey33977184) June 27, 2019

Until they stop using kids as a bargaining chip she will remove their beds and make them sleep on the floor. This lady is nuts and heartless. — JoeyBackbar (@JoeyBackbar) June 27, 2019

AOC doesn’t give a damn about migrant children. She never has. It’s in her best interest to make sure those kids continue to suffer.

Translation: Republicans can’t use illegal immigrants as a bargaining chip because only Democrats can use them as a bargaining chip. — That Girl (@barrysoerto) June 27, 2019

We’d say shame on AOC, but can you really shame the utterly shameless?

You are such a HYPOCRITE! — Tweety (@puttytat58) June 27, 2019

Meanwhile democrats keep killing bills aimed at alleviating the problem. Sad truth is that @AOC is benefiting from these children’s suffering, and essentially using them as props while her party sabotages efforts to provide much needed funding to handle the crisis. Sad AF. — Nunya Biz (@NunyaBiz01) June 27, 2019

Shes a sociopath. — JD (@GoldDingleberry) June 27, 2019
