Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) pushed back against Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, after he suggested the DOJ investigate her for “aiding and abetting” illegal immigration.
Homan accused her of helping people evade ICE by educating constituents on their constitutional rights. AOC dismissed the threats, challenging Homan to proceed and calling him a “coward.”
Tensions are high over immigration enforcement and civil liberties, with AOC arguing that informing people of their rights is legally protected.
Ooh, politicians should never make challeges like that…

“Follow me around,” The New York Times Magazine reported him saying just a few weeks after he declared his candidacy. “I don’t care. I’m serious. If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They’d be very bored.”
Gary Hart had a scandal to expose.
If AOC had anything to hide it would have been plastered all over Fox News already. The best they could do was try to knock her for a recording of her dancing in college or something equally irrelevant.
So AOC is supposed to be silent and let ORAGNE paint the town red?
No, but you don’t challenge them to investigate you, because they absolutely will.
AOC has been a thorn in their side for years. You really think it’s possible for them to investigate her even harder than they’ve surely already done?
I think challenging them to do so definitely opens that door.
