AOC finally came out yesterday evening and criticized the Biden administration for reopening facilities that Trump used at the border that Democrats had previously described as ‘cages’:
This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay – no matter the administration or party. https://t.co/AEV7s7QQnB

It’s only 2 mos into this admin & our fraught, unjust immigration system will not transform in that time.
That’s why bold reimagination is so impt.
DHS shouldn’t exist, agencies should be reorganized, ICE gotta go, ban for-profit detention, create climate refugee status & more.

Compare this tepid criticism to what she levied at Trump back in 2018:
This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.
This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis ⬇️https://t.co/2dWHxb7UuL

They were ‘concentration camps’ under Trump, but under Biden they are just migrant facilities. Same with the Washington Post, who also called them ‘cages’ in 2019:
Viewing U.S. border cells derided as "cages," Central American officials pledge more immigration cooperation https://t.co/EMhFcEY7vN

They are all a bunch of damn hypocrites.
Also note that in her latest criticism, she calls for the complete dismantling of DHS and ICE, which shows just how radical she is. As Ari Fleischer pointed out this morning…
A reminder that AOC is far worse than any of the GOP Members the MSM pays attention to. Abolish ICE. Open borders. Climate refugees? The harm done by AOC’s policies is what people should pay attention to. https://t.co/PTKOLjaWeW
