Critics, however, were quick to accuse Ocasio-Cortez of having staged a “photo op” outside the detention center, with many mocking her choice to appear at the protest in “all-white” and red lipstick. However, the protesters appeared to have coordinated to wear all-white outfits for the rally, with photos showing a number of other demonstrators clad in all-white outfits.

SHAME on anyone who supports giving an 8 year old a “script” to troll a Congresswoman…the real villain here is her mom…children shouldn’t be politicized or objectified Toddlers & Tiaras 4.0 pic.twitter.com/KcjsFWzr4E
