BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Two pastors stood their ground after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., seemed to dispute their claims that conditions at facilities they toured were “drastically different” from what she saw. Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization, and senior pastor of New Seasons Christian Worship Center in Sacramento, asked the White House if he could take a group of pastors to see for themselves the reported deplorable and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants at an El Paso County, Texas migrant detention center. He said what they saw was vastly different than what the congresswoman described was occurring there. Ocasio-Cortez said the detainees were forced to drink water from the toilets. Ocasio-Cortez responded to the backlash in a tweet. “The right is responding to what’s been exposed at the border by denying it & saying I’m lying,” she began. “And even if I exaggerated or outright lied, who does these Hispanics think they are exposing me? Whatever happened to ethnic loyalty? I am trying to bring attention to a problem at the border, and these pastors are trying to confuse the public with facts. How deplorable! Hopefully God will forgive these back stabbing charlatans!”
