Prior to testifying to the House Oversight and Reform Committee on the conditions of the border detention facilities, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an unusual request: she wanted to be sworn in.

Chairman Elijah Cummings obliged the New York Democrat's request, but noted, "We usually don't require a swearing in."

In a tweet explaining why she asked to be sworn in, Ocasio-Cortez said it was because Republicans had been "stating that I am lying about the translated accounts of migrants at the border."

I guess she figures she's immune, and nobody will call her on it.

@Cyber Liberty

If she does,she is right about that.

Unless,of course,it is a black woman or trans that calls her on it. Brown is below black on the Dim importance scale for the time being,but that WILL change soon,and when it does,there are going to a lot of unhappy blacks.
