AOC says calling border crisis a ‘surge’ pushes white supremacy

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally addressed the border crisis — but only to accuse anyone using the term “surge” of pushing a “white supremacist” philosophy.

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has repeatedly been accused of ducking the dangerously overcrowded migrant detention centers despite saying they were akin to “concentration camps” under the previous administration.

She initially appeared outraged when asked during an Instagram Live ask-me-anything session why she was “not addressing the border crisis and the kids in cages like you used to” — asking after a pause, “Are you for real?”

“It’s not a border crisis. It’s an Imperialism crisis,....

How come she's not visiting the detention centers so she can stare through the fence at an EMPTY PARKING LOT and do a dramatic fake crying/gnashing of teeth and covering her eyes in horror at what she's seeing like when Trump was president?

I think AOC is describing what she feels is a dog-whistle; that "surge" is being used as a pejorative to describe migrants. Like saying "a surge of rats".

AOC has insight to circles in the political sphere and the media that most do not. So it's possible she noticed something that she interpreted as alarming.

At this point, I don't know whether to agree with AOC or not. She may be overthinking this one. Who knows.

Hahahahahaha. No surge. A vacation, maybe? Hahahahah.
I note that you throw racism and white supremacy around a lot, Duchess, a broken record. How abut (sic) this...Culturalism. Because, that is what it is. No one cares about skin color any more. Though, maybe you do, indeed.

Give us one of your screeds on the difference cultures, mixing them all up, like,,,,,putting the chickens that are grouped together in a barnyard over in the corner with the goats, or assimilating the rabbits with the cows. They definitely have different ways of life. I guess the survival of the fittest will prevail!! You can do this Duchess. No links, please, we can do our own googling.

Put up with her? She , with the other unusually-garbed people we know nothing about, are running the show with Obama. Puppet Joe, who reads NOTES AT A PRESS CONFERENCE!!! (god I miss Trump) is running nothing. His VP, your VP, laughs at people who suggest a visit to the border. And we have seen nothing yet.

And Hillary Clinton didn't do anything worth imprisonment.

Having notes at a presser is way better than some fantastical rambling about drinking bleach or shining a light up your hoo-ha.

A surge of migrants is a horrible way of describing people. Much like illegal aliens.

To me it reeks of right-wing politics. And in that I agree partially with her.
Not sure about directly linking it to white supremisism though.

A horde of immigrants is just as bad, yes.

I think it’s alright to say a horde of barbarians, in a historical context. And a horde of rednecks when talking about republicans.

I think everyone is allowed to use negative descriptors to describe actual violent invaders but that’s not what is going on at the US Mexican border.
The reason that there are so many at the border is because Trumps policy was to keep them on the Mexican side of it.
