Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is back at it. This time she mocks Fox's Lawrence Jones for wearing a flak vest at the border. She really knows no boundaries. Unfortunately for her, Jones had a quickly exposed what a fool she is. AOC does what she does best: takes another L.
Ocasio Cortez tweeted, “Does “live from the border” mean Party City? Fox is really out here doing the most on a budget to make the border look more dangerous than it is”
Does “live from the border” mean Party City?
Fox is really out here doing the most on a budget to make the border look more dangerous than it is 😂

Jones fired back with: “Congresswoman, I’m sure the Border Patrol Laredo Sector, would be happy to give you a full briefing on the crisis here on the border. How about you join me & see for yourself. We just capture 8 illegals 3 minutes ago. Thankfully they weren’t armed like the others 2 days ago.”

Jones has been reporting live from the Laredo sector for several days. On Thursday morning when he posted a photo wearing the vest he was mocked. Jones explained over and over that the best is a requirement of CBP.

Bruh, save it. Did I say it was a war zone or did you ignorantly assume that because I was wearing a vest? Bottom line: CBP instructed me to put on one of their vests during my ride along. Period. https://t.co/7DSimIu4sH

This is totally ridiculous.
I have never once worn a bulletproof vest at the border, nor has CBP ever asked me to -- even while on a chase with Border Patrol to apprehend migrants in remote Arizona desert in the middle of the night.

On Thursday night Jones appeared on Hannity and explained that he was ordered to where the vest.
.@LawrenceBJones3 on viral bulletproof vest pic: CBP "told me to put it on to keep us safe here. Just two months ago, there was a shooting. ... We control this side of the border, but the cartel controls the other side of the border. There's been gun fights." pic.twitter.com/71BeGMCBZd

Jones also posted a photo where he was thanking someone from Border Patrol for keeping him safe.

How sad is it that the left would rather crack jokes about the border situation than address the issue?
