Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that US runs ‘concentration camps’ is absurd and insulting
Fox News.com ^ | June 18, 2019 | Rabbi Abraham Cooper

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim Monday and Tuesday that the U.S. government “is running concentration camps on our southern border” is obscene, shockingly ignorant, and an insult to the memory of the 6 million Jews and millions of others murdered by the Nazis.

The comparison is also a terrible insult to the dedicated men and women in U.S. law enforcement agencies enforcing our immigration laws, likening them to Nazi mass murderers and war criminals.

And the comparison insults every American who fought in our military in World War II – including the more than 400,000 killed and nearly 700,000 wounded – to defeat Nazi Germany and its allies Japan and Italy.

President Trump’s policy of cracking down on illegal immigration on the border with Mexico and detaining some migrants is certainly a legitimate topic of debate. The conditions under which the migrants are being held can be debated as well.

But comparing U.S. detention facilities operating today to the Nazi concentration camps where millions of innocent men, women and children were tortured, starved, beaten and murdered during World War II in the Holocaust is breathtakingly absurd.

During a livestream on Instagram Monday night, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of the U.S. detention facilities: “The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing, and we need to do something about it.”

She needs to be removed ASAP, along with Talib and Omar. Even the dems are starting to realize this.

Where is the evidence of that?

Um...sure, I’ll buy into your theory on ‘concentration camps’ in America.

However, they’re ALL populated by HUMANS that you @#$%^&*!-ing Democrats have beaten into submission in say, Philly, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukeestan, etc.

Dumb Beotch. She’d BETTER be one and done!

What is obscene is what Mark Levin just said, that because Cortez said this stupidity, liberal pundits who are defending her are demanding that we all change 70 years of understanding what "concentration camps" and "never again" means to civilization.

What an idgit. Just more RAT “projection”....accusing us of what they actually do.

Obama’s butt-buddy Bill Ayers and his terrorist pals were busy planning real concentration camps for normal Americans. Sanctuary Cities already are concentration camps, inner city ghettos are concentration camps. The NXIVM child molesters have concentration camps....

All of the above are RAT enclaves, Republicans like to live free and sparse, and in the sticks.

AOC is a product of our failed education system, especially in NYC. Her comparison to Nazi concentration camps is not only hyperbolic, racist and wrong headed, it down right ignorant. We’ve gone out our way to take care of those illegal aliens who have criminally entered our borders.
Time to start the mass deportations of these people back across our borders to the countries they came from....

AOC is an obnoxious child posing as an adult. She is as sharp as a bowling bowl and not nearly as useful.

Oh this is a gift that keeps on giving...

She is taking the democrat party to the hard left. Anyone who knows a little history would see her statements as hyperbole. SHE is marginalizing the left FOR US!!!!

Just laugh, and point out that the concentration camps in NAZI Germany were run by socialists, and people were mass murdered there...

Ask George Takei about how FDR treated Japanese during WWII

” In 1942, the Takei family was forced to live in the converted horse stables of Santa Anita Park before being sent to the Rohwer War Relocation Center for internment in Rohwer, Arkansas.[13] The family was later transferred to the Tule Lake War Relocation Center in California.[14]”

Yeah, it’s not really a good comparison in any way.
