When the two met last year, Tom Homan completely obliterated Democratic Representative and Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. During their clash, AOC weakly attempted to ensnare the experienced immigration official; Homan deftly parried her weak attempts to trick him and fired right back. Social media users reacted with glee to the epic showdown between AOC and the Border Czar.
For reference, AOC was trying to entrap Homan by linking him to the failed ‘kids-in-cages” narrative, which claimed that Trump was separating babies from their mothers in ICE facilities. AOC became famous for making political hay off this lie, such as when she booked a dramatic photoshoot in front of an ICE detention center.
After Rep. Cortez brought up this tired argument, Homan fired back before we were rudely interrupted. He said, “If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I will be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and, I arrested a father for domestic violence. I separated that child…”
AOC attempted to deflect by claiming that seeking asylum is not a crime. However, Homan was prepared for this move and shut her down completely. He said, “When you’re in the country illegally, it’s violation eight United States Code 1325…if you want to seek asylum, you go to a port of entry the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.”
The user who posted this interaction to X on November 11, 2024, the same day it occurred, said, “HOLY SH*T 🚨 Here is Tom Homan exposing how dumb AOC is. Queue Liberal Meltdowns in 3,2,1…These next 4 years are going to be fun 🔥.” In response, social media erupted with laughter over the epic beatdown.
Some comments said this interaction was typical of the Democrat party. One read, “They sell their fake kindness to rob their own country. The same democrats give no sh*t when H1Bs are required to deport if they don’t find the job in 60 days. Just imagine the hypocrisy.” Another echoed these points, “Facts will overturn emotional manipulation and gaslighting every time. Real men don’t fall for the bs I’m just glad we are getting back to business in this country ”

Others wondered how AOC could have allowed herself to be embarrassed like this. One comment said, “She is stupid bc she could have easily has an overview of immigration law prepared for her ao that she would be at least somewhat informed prior to asking questions at a congressional hearing but the DNC has decided that the law doesn’t matter and they just want political theater to pretent like they are actually doing something. AOC doesn’t belong in Congress. She is a puppet that was put there to follow the narrative of the deep state”
Others joked about Representative Cortez’s intelligence. One said, “#MABA #MakeAlexandriaBartendAgain #AOC has the IQ of a Potato, and should not be a sitting member of Congress. H*ll, she even be allowed in the building for fear of making the others in Congress Dumber by proximity.” Another said, “AOC is so stupid. it’s insane to think about how she not only got elected but REelected three times”
