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.”
I mean, doesn’t sound like the challange was the issue, it was actually being guilty of what he was accused of. I mean it could be horrible if AOC is doing something terrible in secret, but at least to my knowledge it’s what she’s accused of is what she’s doing publicly (teaching people their rights).
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.
Idk why this is dv’d. It’s the same thing as "don’t talk to the cops even if you’re innocent " I have had more than one attorney term me multiple times the only thing anyone ever needs to say is: lawyer, lawyer, lawyer and lawyer.

That is good advice for someone who doesn’t know that they may have done something that could be exposed, but AOC has already been through the wringer from right wingers and doesn’t have anything new for them to find.
