Then you should not have said “Never Again”, you ignorant slut.
Maybe she was talking about george takai’s interment camps that he remembers so well since he was like 4 when he was reloacted to them. And he’s still a threat to America.
Ping.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 24, 2019
Wait till she finds out what is going on in the local Planned Parenthood
Poor AOC,so much to say and so little that makes sense.
So she mentioned concentration camps and never again and a fascist leader but its a wild leap to think she meant Nazi Germany. This is pure gaslighting..
She can explain anything away. The media allows her.
This person is a marionette. We just don’t see the strings.
Poor Cortez. Each time she opens her mouth she totally inserts her foot.
Note
Poor little AOC has to backtrack because she made a minor little comment that politicized holocaust victims for her own shallow purpose.
A memo to AOC, the eggheads in Academia who tried to support her and the morons on MSNBC like Chris Hayes: When you’re in a hole, STOP DIGGING.
Funny, she could have referenced (Good) King FDR’s concentration camps and gotten away with it — except King FDR was a Rat.
So she meant the Gulags instead?
Clown is about as polite of a name as I can manage for her.
This POS needs to be cited on the floor of the House for referencing material described as LIBELOUS:
The Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC has published a statement rejecting the kind of analogy Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made recently when she called migrant detention centers along the southern border concentration camps. The statement was posted on the museums website as a press release:
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum unequivocally rejects efforts to create analogies between the Holocaust and other events, whether historical or contemporary. That position has repeatedly and unambiguously been made clear in the Museums official statement on the matter a statement that is reiterated and reaffirmed now. The link to the Museums statement is here.
The Museum further reiterates that a statement ascribed to a Museum staff historian regarding recent attempts to analogize the situation on the United States southern border to concentration camps in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s does not reflect the position of the Museum.
The Museum deeply regrets any offense to Holocaust survivors and others that may have been engendered by any statement ascribed to a Museum historian in a personal capacity.
The staff historian referenced in the statement is Dr. Becky Erbelding who tweeted a reaction to a PBS special more than a year ago:
The parallels to the 1930s-1940s refugee crisis are so obvious. Why can’t we learn?https://t.co/Kwu5BvTC5x
Dr. Becky Erbelding (@rerbelding) January 25, 2018
That tweet was cited by a website called World Israel News Saturday as if it were in response to AOCs comments about concentration camps. Dr. Erbelding is demanding a retraction and a correction:
In an article appearing today, a reporter entirely manufactured a tweet she claims I posted. This appears to be a clear case of libel. I have demanded a public retraction and correction.
Dr. Becky Erbelding (@rerbelding) June 23, 2019
She also wrote a response on her personal website:
On June 22, 2019, the website World Israel News posted an article claiming that I tweeted that parallels to the 1930s-1940s refugee crisis are so obvious in response to Rep. Ocasio-Cortezs tweets last week. That claim is a total fabrication. I have demanded a public retraction and correction.
Holocaust analogies are lazy, distracting, insensitive, and incorrect. I have never compared detention camps on the US southern border to Nazi concentration camps. I am a good, careful, and award-winning historian, and this article contains lies and distortions.
This morning, Dr. Erbelding updated her statement to note that World Israel News has corrected the date of her tweet:
Note: I have made a correction to this statement. (6/24, 11:20am). The WIN article originally claimed that I tweeted the parallels statement in response to AOCs comments last week. This is untrue. Now, without stating that they have made a correction, they changed the article to read that I made that statement in 2018 in response to a Frontline article describing the intensive vetting of refugees. I have gone back through my tweets and found the tweet in question, from January 25, 2018. At the time, it received two likes and no retweets, and again, was tweeted from my personal account.
So it sounds as if Dr. Erbelding had forgotten she ever made the statement on Twitter. In any case, she was not replying to or endorsing AOCs statement about concentration camps.
This rebuke from Dr. Erbeldiing and the Holocaust Museum comes after the World center for Holocaust research, documentation, education and commemoration tweeted this last week:
.@AOC Concentration camps assured a slave labor supply to help in the Nazi war effort, even as the brutality of life inside the camps helped assure the ultimate goal of “extermination through labor.”
