A prominent Hispanic pastor has responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after the freshman congresswoman hit back at reports that criticized her for misrepresenting the conditions in detention facilities at the southern border.
Earlier this week, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, said that the conditions at a border patrol facility visited by Ocasio-Cortez were “drastically different” to what had been previously described in the media and by politicians.
