Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York, said Tuesday that anyone who uses the term “surge” to describe the border situation is engaging in a “White supremacist idea-philosophy.” One problem. Her fellow leftists at the New York Times have recently used it in a headline. Twice.

No doubt the race hustlers and Bolsheviks there will be interested to hear they are white supremacists. Though, if you define the term as coddled Manhattan liberals, AOC has a decent point. Rep. Mark Green, Republican of Texas,  fills in the details.

FNC: “Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said Wednesday on ‘America Reports’ that he was ‘offended’ when he heard Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., condemn the use of the term “surge” when discussing the ongoing border crisis.

“They wanna say, ‘But what about the surge?’ Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday night. “Well, first of all, just gut check, stop. Anyone who’s using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is trying to invoke a militaristic frame. And that’s a problem because this is not a surge. These are children and they are not insurgents and we are not being invaded, which by the way is a White supremacist idea-philosophy, the idea that if another is coming in the population that this is an invasion of who we are,” she concluded.

White supremacists indeed. Here is the Times earlier in March. “Biden Faces Challenge From Surge of Migrants at the Border,” the paper headlined on March 8, while “Democrats Confront a Surge at the Border” was used as a topper to a report on March 19. Ouch.

Rep. Green on the larger issue: “If I say cancer is bad, AOC is going to say that I’m a racist. That’s everything that comes out of their mouths these days. It’s ridiculous. Those CBP agents, they are there trying to do their best to take care of those children. It is absolutely insane to say that by their pointing out the fact that there is a 400-percent increase, it’s somehow racist. That’s absurd. And it’s very clear that Joe Biden’s canceling of policies that Trump put into effect has caused this mass whatever you want to call it. I call it a tragedy.

“She wants to call it something else and then those of us that are calling it out racist. That’s absurd. It’s just the typical mantra from these leftists that are running the administration today and that are running the House of Representatives. It’s absurd. I’m offended and those CBP agents should be too.”
