WASHINGTON \u2013 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, D-N.Y., and White House adviser Kellyanne Conway traded blows on Twitter Tuesday afternoon over the treatment of migrants\u00a0in federal custody on the southern U.S. border.\u00a0<\/p>\n In a Tuesday morning Fox and Friends interview, Conway said that Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that detained migrant women had drunk from toilets in a Border Patrol facility was “outrageous.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Ocasio-Cortez was part of a congressional delegation that traveled to the southern U.S. border to tour Border Patrol facilities Monday where children and families had reportedly been held in poor conditions. After her visit, she’d tweeted <\/a>saying\u00a0that “Officers were keeping women in cells w\/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.”<\/p>\n Ocasio-Cortez later responded to Conway\u00a0on Twitter, accusing the White House adviser of defending and muddying the “clear and indefensible.”<\/p>\n More: <\/strong>AOC criticizes CBP after report of secret Facebook group as agency opens investigation<\/a><\/p>\n More: <\/strong>‘Children come first’: House passes $4.6 billion in aid for migrants at border after Pelosi caves to Republicans<\/a><\/p>\n How many migrant women has Kellyanne Conway touched?
