On Friday night, Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez illuminated her relative lack of knowledge regarding world history once again by invoking the Holocaust in her defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar from what she says is an "explicit attack" from President Donald J. Trump. The commander-in-chief shared a video yesterday evening reminding Rep. Omar and her allies about the tragedy that occurred on 9/11 resulting in nearly 3,000 dead Americans. Rep. Omar has previously diminished the terror attack by Al-Qaeda as "some people" doing "something," which was included in the video. Conservative commentators and pundits across Twitter reminded Rep. Ocasio-Cortez her criticism of President Trump fell short on a number of reasons.
"Members of Congress have a duty to respond to the President’s explicit attack today.@IlhanMN’s life is in danger. For our colleagues to be silent is to be complicit in the outright, dangerous targeting of a member of Congress," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
Her tweet went on to say, "We must speak out," and included a photo the famous poem by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller about the Holocaust and how dictator Adolf Hitler and Nazi targeted individual groups, eliminating them one by one. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tagged the Holocaust Memorial Museum in her tweet as well.

We must speak out.

Young America's Foundation speaker and Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro pointed out it is both dumb to assert "speech is violence," while also defending a noted anti-semite like Rep. Omar by referencing the Holocaust.
And there’s something deeply disturbing about AOC making Holocaust references to defend an open and unrepentant anti-Semite who is merely being criticized— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 13, 2019
Erik Erikson commented that if simple criticism, pretty commonplace in American politics, is now tantamount to calling for violence, then the media is surely in need of a restraining order.
If criticizing an elected official is now incitement to violence, Donald Trump should get a permanent restraining order against the media.— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) April 13, 2019
The Federalist's David Harsanyi said that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez managed to "belittle both the real victims of 9/11 and the Holocaust.
This is just a shameful attempt to chill speech. It belittles both the real victims of 9/11 and the Holocaust. https://t.co/RHkjQShk0c— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) April 13, 2019
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders also condemned President Trump for his tweet.
Sen. Warren said, "The President is inciting violence against a sitting Congresswoman—and an entire group of Americans based on their religion. It's disgusting. It's shameful. And any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it."
While Sen. Sanders added, "Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won't back down to Trump's racism and hate, and neither will we. The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end."
Here's the video. It features Rep. Omar's words in comparison to what actually happened.

Good for her. The more she keeps talking the more certain President Trump will win reelection.
Low IQ bipolar manic, she can’t let 10 minutes go by without tweeting something ignorant and ridiculous. Jabber blabber blabber. Blabber jabber jabber.
I hope she and the evil Omar are getting lots of death threats, they deserve them.
I know people are tired of hearing about her, but the AOC platform and all the media attention is setting up a beautiful 2020 red wave.
She ran right past “full retard” and kept on truckin’.
OAC brings up the Holocaust but ignores the Holocaust of abortion. Her Green New Deal and a single payer health care system will create more Holocaust through engineered shortages.
OAC is illustrating the Dem’s mode of operation: do nothing for the nation while doing everything to grab more power.
Landon’s Gofundme has raised almost 28k in under two hours
MAGA, MEGA kudos to My PRES9DENT TRUMP for finally showing the real 9/11 videos in a political ad that shows who and why we’re fighting.
There is conflicting stories out there if the child is still alive, some say he already passed away, but the police say “He’s still alive” not sure if they mean hes alive in the sense that he’s on machines or what..just looking at that beautiful little boy, he’s the spitting image of my 4 year old nephew, just cant imagine the pain the family is going through, they were just going to the mall to have some fun and look what happened. Anyone find out anything the dirtbags immigration status Id love to know if he’s an American citizen or not
Boot them out? I vote, “up against the wall”.
The charge sheet has changed back to attempted murder from murder earlier
Here is the gofundme

Typical crybully Democrat. “Don’t hit the girl!”
Omar is really apiece of work, a cute, small, vulnerable-looking woman who’s actually as venomous as and more pure evil than a cute, colorful little Coral Snake. The big difference is the snake eats vermin while she is vermin.
She was a snake before she was brought into America, yet she was still brought here..all three of them are vermin, this is the commie left, they defend JIHADISTS but hate everyone else
Factoid: The Muslims sided with Hitler in WWII
Someone claiming that he asked mother if he was in the way.. She said no.. He then threw the kid over. Too crazy.
Linked in page says he graduated in Chicago.
Turds of a feather stick together.
My problem with your post calling her a snake is she’s really sub-herpetic. The Black Snakes in my yard do great things eating all the vermin and none has ever threatened me. OTOH she’s a low form of particularly toxic vermin that threatens all of us.
Let’s gas the bitchez and then we can talk.
No similarity whatsoever, except for what Omar and Tlaib would inflict on us if they had the power.
