'Did you see somebody actually do that?' one reporter asked, as Ocasio-Cortez rolled up her car window and disappeared.
A Customs and Burder Protection official denied the congresswoman's claim that migrants drink out of toilets in detention centers. The official said plumbing fixtures at the locations Ocasio-Cortez visited are standard-issue jail appliances with sinks that dispense safe drinking water attached to toilets in a single unit.
The congresswoman had claimed moments before dodging a question about what she had presonally witnessed: 'They were drinking water out of the toilet. And that was them knowing that a congressional visit was coming. That was - this is CBP on their best behavior! Telling people to drink out of the toilet!'
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.told Fox News that Ocasio-Cortez had made an 'outrageous claim that a woman is drinking from a toilet.' Conway claimed 'everybody who has control over that facility, or control of the border patrol says that is not true, they have not heard of this.'
EDITOR’S NOTE: Another Democrat, Rep. Joaquin Castro, brother of presidential candidate Julian Castro, said “When we went into the cell, it was clear that the water was not running ... in fact, one of the women said that she was told by an agent to drink from the toilet.”
