AOC to Illegals Crossing the Border: ‘No Matter What the President Says, This Country Belongs to You’

‘And today that notion, that very notion was challenged’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “We were on a road trip from New York to Florida to visit family. And I’ve told this story before, but it was my first time ever visiting Washington, D.C., and it was my only time visiting Washington, D.C. for years, if not decades. And he rested me on the side of the reflecting pool and had my toes dip in the water, and he had me look at the Washington Monument, had me look at the capital, had me look at the entirety of the capital of our great country. And he looked at everything and he pointed to all of it and he said, this belongs to all of us. This belongs to you and it belongs to me. And so the first note that I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the President says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone. And today that notion, that very notion was challenged.”
