Who you gonna believe, AOC or your own crazy lyin’ eyes?

Communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attacked President Trump over his Salute to American Fourth of July celebration held at the Lincoln Memorial Thursday, calling the event “poorly attended”.

Ocasio-Cortez also falsely claimed the Trump administration said the government couldn’t afford toothpaste and shampoo for migrant children.

“Trump spent millions on a poorly attended, 1 day parade days after saying he couldn’t afford toothpaste & soap for caged children. Did he ask Congress for military parade💰? No. Trump held these kids hostage to secure billions for their abusers. Congress needs to see that.”

With regard to Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that Trump says the government can’t afford toothpaste and soap for migrant children, that too is a flat out lie. Children do get soap and toothpaste in CBP custody. The lie is based on a DOJ lawyer arguing that the government is not required to provide such items to migrant children held for a only few hours at intake as their stay is so short.
