Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fled from a reporter on Monday when she was asked about her claim that detained female migrants were being forced to drink from toilets in a CBP facility.

Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly made the claim on her Twitter account, without evidence, claiming that CBP officials were telling women to drink from the toilet while Ocasio-Cortez was standing there.

"There's abuse in these facilities, this was [CBP officials] on their best behavior," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters following her visit. "These women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet. They were drinking water out of the toilet and that was them knowing a congressional visit was coming. This is CBP on their best behavior, telling people to drink out of the toilet."

A reporter then confronted Ocasio-Cortez, asking: "Did you see somebody actually do that?"

Ocasio-Cortez rolled up the window in the vehicle that she was in, put her hand up, refused to answer the question, and said, "I'm sorry I have to go."

Ocasio-Cortez's unsubstantiated claim was met with instant pushback, as border reporter Anna Giaritell reported: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents 'in a threatening manner' during a visit to a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, Monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed it."

"13 other House Democrats as well as their aides were in the room," Giaritelli added. "I'm told only Rep. Ocasio-Cortez reacted in this manner."

Daily Mail editor David Martosko tweeted out a photo of the type of toilet that is used in CBP facilities, noting that the sink with "potable water" is attached to the toilet.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said migrant women held in a Customs and Border Protection facility were told to drink water out of toilets, but an agent has directly refuted the allegation and she has yet to clarify if she actually saw such an action occur.

“Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets. This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Monday after visiting her first CBP detention center that day. It was her first accusation that women in the Texas facility were being explicitly told by agents to drink water from toilets.

Ocasio-Cortez later spoke to reporters outside the facility, and her comments suggested she personally saw women drinking out of a toilet.

“These women were being told by CBP officers to drink out of the toilet. They were drinking water out of the toilet, and that was them knowing a congressional visit was coming. This is CBP on their best behavior,” the New York Democrat stated Monday. However, she did not provide an answer when a reporter asked if she personally witnessed this.

A CBP agent who was reportedly close by as Ocasio-Cortez toured the facility said the congresswoman is purposely misconstruing a story she heard.

“So this is what happened with the migrant and drinking water from toilet: She wanted water, didn’t know how to use the faucet in the cell and drank from the toilet. She never told AOC that we made her drink from the toilet. AOC, of course, changed it. … This was when she [the migrant] was apprehended and brought into the facility,” according to an unnamed agent who spoke with the Washington Examiner.

It was later clarified the toilet in question was connected to a faucet and sink marked “potable water.” Ocasio-Cortez said women were told to drink water from the bowl because the faucet wasn’t working.

It is not clear if Ocasio-Cortez personally witnessed individuals drinking from water, or if one or multiple women told her they were directed to drink water from a toilet. Her office has not responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

The first-term lawmaker also said she felt threatened and was disrespected by CBP officers when she visited the migrant detention center. However, agents said she was the one behaving in a threatening manner, screaming at officers who were nearby.

“I can tell you with the utmost confidence that the migrants — anyone and everyone in our custody at all of our facilities — have ready access to fresh water,” CBP Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez said to Fox News Tuesday. “I’ve never heard, in 26 years of being in this business, ever heard of that type of allegation being made.”

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX) slammed socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday for her behavior while visiting a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) immigrant detention facility and for her deception as to what she is really trying to do to America's borders.

Crenshaw appeared on Fox News with host Martha MacCallum to discuss recent unsubstantiated claims that Ocasio-Cortez has made including that CBP officers were telling detained women during her visit of the facility that they had to drink water from the toilet if they were thirsty.

"She’s getting bolder with her lies on this," Crenshaw began. "People like AOC are operating off of a false premise and deliberately designed to misinform the American people for her own political ends. Remember, first there was no crisis at all. Then it was a manufactured crisis. Then it was a crisis completely created by Trump. Then there were concentration camps. Then people are Nazis."

"Now she is saying that Border Patrol agents harassed her and forced migrants to drink out of toilets? This is insanity. This is not true," Crenshaw said. "There is no one else corroborating these kinds of reports and yet she is using it to try and make her case that we shouldn't have any enforcement and that we should have open borders. This is really dishonest behavior from a member of Congress and I honestly can't believe it."

"Let’s not forget, they fought us tooth and nail against that $4.5 million of humanitarian aid that the president needed, that DHS needed, that HHS needed, in order to better conditions at these facilities," Crenshaw continued. "They fought us for months on this. They said there was no crisis. We asked for a vote in the House 17 times. They refused to do it. … AOC talks about these things, I don't see them offering up any space in their own homes. They are not offering a better solution. They are not saying, 'why don't we put them all up at a hotel.'"

"What they really want is no enforcement, this is the crux of it. They don't talk about what the actual problem is which is tens of thousands of people coming across and overwhelming our system," Crenshaw added. "And then they have to answer the question, should we have a system at all? And they say no. Well what is the point of even having a border? Why even have custom agents at airports if we are not going to enforce any kind of management over who comes in and out of our country? They don't want to answer these tough questions because in the end they want open borders."

Ocasio-Cortez voted against multi-billion dollar humanitarian bills from both Democrats and Republicans to help address the problems on the southern border. When asked by CNN's Jake Tapper in a recent interview if she was depriving kids of housing facilities that they need by voting against both bills, Ocasio-Cortez responded by saying that she voted against both bills because she "needed to send a message."



Ocasio-Cortez’ claims were widely contested on Monday, with multiple CBP officials telling reporters that Ocasio-Cortez acted inappropriately during her visit to the facility and that she was lying about what was going on inside the facility.

Washington Examiner border reporter Anna Giaritelli tweeted: “SCOOP: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents “in a threatening manner” during a visit to a U.S. Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, Monday afternoon and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed it.”

"13 other House Democrats as well as their aides were in the room. I'm told only Rep. Ocasio-Cortez reacted in this manner," Giaritelli added.

"She comes out screaming at our agents, right at the beginning [of the tour] … Crying and screaming and yelling,” a witness said. "The agents, they wanted to respond, but they held back because she’s a congressional delegate. But when you have someone yelling at you in a threatening manner."
