In a clip from an episode of The Benny Show doing the rounds on social media, Benny Johnson is seen asking Homan, “Just one final question, Mr. Border Czar, and it has to do with the region of New York and somebody who’s in the news a lot lately because she’s most likely planning on running for higher office: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC has come—and what looks like to us crossed the line—a number of times. But two very curious stories out of her office: One, as soon as you were able to regain your position as Border Czar, AOC had a criminal alien who was working in her congressional staff flee the country. I can't quite square how that’s possible. How is somebody allowed to be a criminal alien in this country and then go work in Congress where you have access to classified material and you have access to a lot of important information? Then AOC has gone on and obviously taught publicly illegal aliens how to avoid ICE. She’s done this with some of her colleagues in the Squad. Here’s the article of the criminal alien staffer that AOC had on staff. Maybe you could just start here, as an explainer to me and to this audience: How is this even possible?”
