here is were IT ALL came from

one dodgy AF loaded slanted mention on December 1st by the Moonie-owned RW Washington Times

she NEVER used the word hoax, and the entire article is slanted to attack the Dems

also the article below is almost never used as the source, the RW uses another later Washington Times article that singles out and attacks AOC with a non linked refence to the original WT article I dug up

and the article below puts words in her mouth and draws conclusions she never said

the RW hit machine and the Rethugs took this one small bullshit secondarily-referenced piece and ran with it

and now you are amplifying it here on DU


Smash-and-grab crime wave baffles congressional Democrats

https://archive.ph/sKBGJ

Democrats on Capitol Hill are flummoxed by the waves of smash-and-grab retail thefts in their states, with some denying it’s happening and others saying they are not ready to make major shoplifting a felony.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said retailers could be fabricating the rash of smash-and-grab burglaries and “flash mob” shoplifting sprees.

“We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,” she told The Washington Times. “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”



let's focus on what they did

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said retailers could be fabricating the rash


she never said that, that is RW spin and false frame

Who was the 'reporter' who asked that question to Psaki in your presser link?

I wager it was one of the RW shills shit-stirring as usual
