AOC complains calling border crisis 'a surge' pushes White supremacy, but even New York Times uses term

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., feels calling the influx of migrants along the southern border a "surge" pushes White supremacy, but even the New York Times, her hometown liberal paper, has repeatedly used the term.

"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 continued.  Some of the Times' more liberal staffers, who had a public meltdown last year when the paper published an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., could be troubled that AOC thinks their newspaper is promoting a White supremacist framework.
