AOC once again got caught lying this time claiming that Border Agents were making migrants drink from toilets.
Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities.
It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members Congress.
I brought it up to their superiors. They said “officers are under stress & act out sometimes.†No accountability.

David Marktosko pointed out that these were likely actually sinks.
I haven’t seen photo of the Clint, TX facilities that @AOC described today, but it would be interesting if “drinking from the toilet” meant drinking from an attached sink marked “potable water” — like this image from a CBP holding facility in Tuscon (filed in federal court). pic.twitter.com/uDbhy1GPOa

Well, @AOC just found out what a garbage disposal is a few months ago, so kitchen fixtures aren’t her strong suit. The toilet-water claim is the most explosive thing she said today. If it’s untrue, it’s most definitely a hair (or a thick cable) worth splitting. https://t.co/3w4f4HSsgI

This has been debunked
🚨News — A CBP official denies @AOC‘s claim that detainees are told to drink from toilets: “They’re drinking potable water from the sink attached to the toilet. It’s what you would find in every municipal jail in the United States.” https://t.co/w5ILsq3PoO via @MailOnline

She also refused to answer questions on this topic when pressed:
Ocasio-Cortez on her CBP facility tour: “These women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet. They were drinking water out of the toiletâ€
Reporter: “Did you see somebody actually do that?â€

Either Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t know what a toilet is or she was blatantly lying when she claimed that they were being forced to drink out of toilets.
It is this type of propaganda that makes it impossible to actually have a debate on immigration.
By the way, the definition of Potable Water is literally water that is safe to drink.
UPDATE: THE STORY KEEPS CHANGING:
This was in fact the type of toilet we saw in the cell.
Except there was just one, and the sink portion was not functioning – @AyannaPressley smartly tried to open the faucet, and nothing came out.
So the women were told they could drink out of the bowl. https://t.co/rcu9Rt6B2x

CBP on woman who drank from a toilet: “she wanted water, didn’t know how to use the faucet in the cell, and drank from the toilet. She never told AOC that we made her drink from the toilet. AOC, of course, changed it”
It didn’t happen when AOC was therehttps://t.co/32EhkhtJrV
