"her response was incredibly underwhelming, to say the 'sleast." that's what he wrote. a week later, the police showed up at his house. two plainclothes officers from the california highway control arrived calling his name. they explained he had been sent by the capitol police in washington to respond to a threat against a sitting member of congress.ne but he hadn't threatened alexandria ocasio-cortez, didn't threaten anyone, disapproved of the opinion speed but the police seemed unconvinced and explained in an interview with "the gray zone," they wouldn't back down that i threatened to kill her." here is the spookiest part. ryan wentz hadn't included any onpersonal information in his social media profile and yet the police knew his n

democratic congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez will be more thrilled about the latest biden spending agenda. $1.8 trillion for a family and education plan that pushes the running tab past $4 trillion. what does all of the spending mean as the economy is already showing signs of recovery? let's get the read on this from jessica tarlov, kayleigh mcgee white. jessica, let's start with you. the most prominent, most famous left-wing progressive voice in the country says joe biden has exceeded her expectations. so it's not just republicans, is it, this is saying this is the most left-wing presidency we've seen in recent history. >> well, i think bernie sanders would be a little disappointed to know that aoc had taken the mantel from him. >> jerry: close. >> but yeah, republicans -- they're a duo, let's say.

twitter but no nonpartisan study finds alexandria ocasio-cortez is one of the least effective lawmakers in congress. it ranks the democrat 230th out of 240 democrats and dead last among 19 and her state. "the new york post" quotes one democratic insider saying tweeting is easy but governing his heart and you need to have friends. another says legislation was never her focus, it was media and narrative. so considering that we elect lawmakers to legislate and our tax dollars to pay salaries, is she earning her salary? >> tomi: we know she is not the brightest crayon in the box but i will say this in her defense somewhat great just because she is not effective as a lawmaker in terms of she's been able to introduce and support she's been able to gain, i will say she is incredibly effective. why? how many times on the show have we talked about aoc? how many news headlines does she get? she does a great job of poking the bear on the right and she

but wentz hadn't threatened alexandria ocasio-cortez. he merely disapproved of her opinion. the police seemed unconvinced. as he explained in an interview with the gray zone, quote, they just wouldn't back down from this accusation that i threatened to kill her. here's the spookiest part. ryan wentz hadn't included any personal information in his social media profile and yet the police knew his name and they knew exactly where he lived. how did they find him? it seems likely that twitter turned ryan wentz in to authorities on behalf of their friend, alexandria ocasio-cortez. it's hard to believe this is happening in america, but it is. california highway patrol confirmed it today. the capitol police told us they referred wentz name because he was mentioned in a threatening message. they denied that ocasio-cortez requested an investigation. for her part, ocasio-cortez also denied direct involvement in any of it, but she didn't seem especially upset that it happened. she certainly didn't launch into an impassioned speech about civil liberties like a liberal might do. but then

congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez says this is not a "border crisis," and says we need to make upious administration. >> congressperson cortez: this is not the same as what happened in the trump administration, where they took babies out of the arms of their mothers and deported their families, and permanently traumatized these children. they are barbaric and wrong. those families are old reparations, period. >> emily: tucker, your thoughts. >> tucker: it's interesting that a low quality race baiter has a place in national policy. she's a racist, openly. i think the key is to think clearly about what is best for the united states. the border policy has been a disaster for a long time, doesn't serve the interest of most americans. people like that use the magic word, "racism," to cow the rest of the country into submission. she wants to change the population, once the party to be more powerful, but we are allowing her and people like her to do that because we are afraid of being called names, until decent people would shed their fear of being smeared by someone whose opinion you sh

laura: that seems to be in direct conflict to alexandria -- alexandria ocasio cortez who said this doesn't feel like justice, doesn't even feel like accountability and you are saying when you are hearing from people on the streets is that is not the case, at least in this case they feel justice was done. >> reporter: they feel justice has been served. they say the fight is not over, they want to put pressure on the district attorney to charge kim potter, the former brooklyn center police officer who shot daunte wright with murder charges but things have remained peaceful, we've not seen -- the state of minnesota really preparing for civil unrest, operation safety net and state troopers and local police department, so far we haven't seen that but we will see how things role later tonight. laura: laura coates, a cnn reporter spoke out earlier today, she was very concerned that boarding up buildings and sending that message of a fortified city was going to trigger people. okay, let's watch it. >> we have a pavlov response in america is that when we have impending verdicts, businesses start to

you are actually right, in 1846 the portion of alexandria was given back to the state of virginia. i don't think that should serve as a precedent for a couple of reasons. the first is, the supreme court has never ruled on the constitutionality of that. essentially what the supreme court said by the time this question was right to them, about 30 or so years after it happened, was that too much time has passed. someone is estopped from raising these claims after so much time. if a challenge to hr 51 was immediately brought it would be much more difficult for the supreme court to make that argument. again, that retro session, was frankly controversial at the time. if you go back to read the floor debates, subsequently to that, about 20 or so years later, the house of representatives actually passed a resolution saying that they thought that act was unconstitutional, hoping to get that man back from virginia. this came up again in the early 1900s, in the 19 teens, a georgetown university law school professor a pint that he thought this was unconstitutional, that once the district bound

the president when he was touring that alexandria, virginia, suburban, washington, d.c., vaccinationthe importance of going there, bringing the network cameras along so that the public will see people getting shots in arms as the president was standing right there. as further evidence that they should get the shots. the president also said you'll hear about variants, and he said some of those are virulent and scary, but that the various vaccines currently available work against those variants as well. encouraging people to take the shot. so part of what the white house is doing here, they say, is an educational push to make sure there's clarity in the minds of the public that they won't have to wait for a longer period based on their age or what have you to qualify. it comes at a time when many governors around the world already established these rules. it has been a patchwork state by state about when people are eligible. so they'll tout that as well as an expectation that the president says that there will be 200 million doses administered by his 100 days in office at the end of th

tom homan is going after alexandria ocasio-cortez. listen. >> she needs to come down and talk to the men and women who put the uniform every day -- >> she came down when trump was president. >> absolutely. but you haven't seen her since. look, the men and women of the border patrol say it's a surge, a crisis. the men and women of the border patrol know that these cartels are are using these children to tie up assets. 40% of the border patrol is no longer on the line, so these cartels are moving drugs and bad people through unguarded areas. this is a national security crisis. elizabeth: when you break the border, you risk millions of people coming here illegally being abuse ld, assaulted and killed by human traffickers and drug smugglers. that's the bottom line. what do you say? >> politicians like aoc, they're unwilling to have an open and honest conversation with the american public. they don't want them to be able to form their own opinions based upon the facts. they want to use rhetoric to scare people against the conservatives tha

and all of this as squad member alexandria ocasio-cortez is giving bid >> president biden has exceededhad. i'll be frank. a lot of us expected a more conservative administration and i think that his not only what has ultimately come out, but the active invitation and willingness and collaboration with progressives in his first 100 days, or almost 100 days, has been very impressive. >> harris: well, she likes you, power panel tomi lahren fox nation home. kevin walling former campaign surrogates. tomi, basically biden is out performing for progressives. >> the fact that he is getting praise from alexandria ocasio-cortez is enough to make any american terrified. i don't care if you are on the right or left. kevin mccarthy is right. it is not only a bait and switch. during the presidential debates president trump accused joe biden of being a puppet for the far left and accused him of having a socialist manifesto and joe biden said i'm the leader of this party and i'm a moderate not a socialist. what do we have. hours within being in office he cancels pipelines, signs how many executive ord
