Did Rep. Ocasio Cortez Claim Walls Could Not Be Built in Mountains? Republican Iowa Congressman Steve King shared an unsourced meme that attempted to ridicule his colleague from New York.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once said, "All the technology in the world won't let us build a wall in mountains."
In early 2019, Republican U.S. Rep. Steve King posted a meme that ridiculed his Democratic Congressional counterpart, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (often known by her initials AOC), a frequent target of scrutiny and misinformation, mostly from right-leaning critics.
King wrote, “Wrong again, AOC” alongside a meme containing a photograph of Ocasio-Cortez, a photograph of the Great Wall of China, and the following text: “‘All the technology in the world won’t let us build a wall in Mountains!’ Meanwhile…in 700 A.D.”
The meme indirectly attributed the quotation to Ocasio-Cortez by juxtaposing it with her image, and King directly attributed it to her with his additional comment “Wrong again, AOC.”
