In a recently unearthed woke meltdown, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lost her mind over a sensible policy from the Trump administration that would detain illegal immigrants who commit crimes.
In a transparent attempt to justify her partisan position, AOC suddenly decided to care about the budget, mentioning its $83 billion cost, which she argues is unaffordable and primarily benefits private prison companies.
Reacting to the comedic clip, prominent conservative influencer Libs of TikTok took to social media to mock AOC’s meltdown. “AOC is melting down over detaining illegals who commit crimes. Tells you everything you need to know about her priorities,” her post read.
In any case, AOC began her comments by taking wild swings at the GOP. She whined, “Mr. Speaker, you may wonder why so many of our friends across the aisle who care so deeply about the rule of law happen to be so desperate to pass this bill after they are unleashing people who attacked police officers here on the on this Capitol, into roaming our streets, who are publicly saying now they want to get a gun.”
After her wordy and unclear opening, AOC pivoted to January 6th. “Suddenly, these folks care about public safety. I don’t think so. Look no further than the price tag of this bill, $83 billion
They know that it can’t be paid for,” the Democrat complained.
Still not done, she flagrantly smeared the Trump administration and accused them of being corrupt, saying, “They know that the capacity is not there. And you know what will be there? Private prison companies are going to get flooded with money.”
Finally coming to her conclusion, she blamed the prison lobby. “Who give this money, no doubt. I want folks at home to look, look at what members of Congress are invested in private prison companies who receive this kind of money, and look at the votes on this bill, “AOC alleged.

Concluding her comments, she described criminals as victims in her short-sighted comments. Cortez claimed, “It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy and the victim of a crime. It is shameful. It is absolutely shameful.”
This is far from the first time AOC has drawn widespread scorn for her absurd far-left ideas. For example, while speaking about the assassination of Charlike Kirk, she noted,”We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a ‘mistake,’ who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that ‘some amazing patriot out there’ should bail out his assailant, and accused Jews of controlling ‘not just the colleges – it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.’”

Building on this point, she added, “His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans – far from ‘working tirelessly to promote unity’ as asserted by the majority in this resolution.”
