Monday night on Fox there was a fill-in host in there, Sandra Smith, and she was talking to a woman named Lynne Patton. Lynne Patton is the regional administrator for HUD, the department of Housing and Urban Development. She is in the Trump administration, and she is African-American, and she is also from the district represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-317520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-073119-Fox-PATTON.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-073119-Fox-PATTON.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/APP-073119-Fox-PATTON-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The question: \u201cThe case is obviously being made by supporters of the president, members of his party, that this president has been very good for minority communities. When you look at the very low employment rates, when you look at wages &#8212; &#8221; Wall Street Journal has an editorial today documenting the vast wage increases for 99% of the American people, further obliterating Democrat arguments. Anyway, the question is being asked of the administrator for HUD, regional administrator Lynne Patton, &#8220;All these attacks on Trump, he\u2019s actually been very good for minority communities, hasn\u2019t he?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>PATTON: I am in Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s district more than she is. She\u2019s more concerned about conditions at the border than conditions in her own backyard. This past week I had to shut down a children\u2019s day camp because dead rats were falling through the ceiling and hitting the ground and falling on children\u2019s desks, so infested with maggots that they broke apart when they hit the ground causing staffers to throw up. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening in New York.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. This is happening in the Ocasio-Cortez district? Holy smokes. Ocasio-Cortez claims we\u2019re running a concentration camp down at the border? Again, this is Lynne Patton. Get this ready to play again. This is one of those things, \u201cWait, did I just hear that?\u201d Yes, you did. Lynne Patton, regional director HUD, Trump administration, African-American on Fox on Monday night describing the lamentable blight and rat infestation in a children\u2019s day camp in the district of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>PATTON: I am in Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s district more than she is.

It was so maggot infested that it was the rat carcasses falling apart when they hit the desk, and that\u2019s what was causing people to vomit. And this is in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s district. And it\u2019s classic. She\u2019s more concerned trying to score political points by making things up about the horrible conditions for illegal immigrant kids at the border while ignoring what\u2019s going on in her own district.
