Kellyanne Conway rips AOC on sympathy for migrants: 'All talk, no dollars'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}White House adviser Kellyanne Conway Tuesday accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., of being hypocritical for claiming to care about migrants while refusing to approve additional congressional funding to improve conditions at the border.
"How many migrant women did @AOC help by voting AGAINST the $4.6 billion bipartisan humanitarian aid that is FOR THEM?" Conway asked on Tuesday. "(She even voted against the Democrat aid package). All talk, no dollars."
Her comments came just after Ocasio-Cortez visited a migrant detention camp where, she claimed, women were told to drink out of toilets -- an assertion that former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan called "ridiculous."

Ocasio-Cortez has frequently criticized border conditions and cited them as a reason to halt funding for two of the nation's chief immigration enforcement agencies -- Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Conway, on Tuesday, accused Ocasio-Cortez of using her border visit as a photo-op and called on others to challenge her claim about the camp she visited.

"How many migrant women has Kellyanne Conway touched? Hugged? Sat on a concrete floor with? Actually listened to? The answer is none," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, prompting Conway's tweet about border funding.
