AOC was on Face the Nation this morning when she was asked about the surge of Venezuelans across the border in Eagle Pass, Texas.
But instead of blaming Biden for the thousands of Venezuelans we saw under the bridge, she blamed it on sanctions that Marco Rubio helped enact under the Trump administration:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blames sanctions on Venezuela for the southern border crisis.

There are two major reasons for the invasion of Venezuelans. One is Biden and the other is Maduro. But she’s so dishonest that she can’t acknowledge the reality because both hurt her cause. Obviously she wants Biden to win and, obviously, she’s a socialist. What a hack.
In this other clip, Pete Buttigeg covers for Biden to, claiming Biden is doing what needs to be done, whatever the heck that means:
Q: "Was the Biden administration caught off guard by this latest surge of migrants?"
BUTTIGIEG: "What you saw was the administration, as always, responding as needed…"
Q: "Were you caught off guard though?"
BUTTIGIEG: "The president did what needed to be done." pic.twitter.com/llontN4RTT
