Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., lied at this weekend’s South by Southwest Conference and Festivals when she implied that former President Reagan was a racist. Her claim that Reagan”pitted” white working class people against minorities in order “to screw over all working-class Americans,” particularly African-Americans and Hispanics, is both false and malicious. He did no such thing.

Had Ocasio-Cortez bothered to do her homework, she would have found otherwise.
