People need to be reminded that the Democrat narrative fails to mention the fact that one of their modern godfathers (the individual in the middle) was very much an admirer of Hitler and opposed U.S. involvement in World War II.

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer didn't mind that he was live on air when he sounded off on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) abominable analogy this week. It's almost hard to fathom, but she compared the ICE detention centers on the U.S.-Mexico border to Holocaust concentration camps. Hemmer fumed during "America's Newsroom" on Tuesday over how AOC could use the extermination of 6 million Jews and the sacred phrase "never again" for political gain. He said that she owed "all Jews on the planet" an apology.
Hemmer was no less irate on Wednesday, when he gave one of her fellow Democrats a chance to distance himself from her comments. When asked what he thought of AOC's analogy, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) opted not to directly condemn her, but just offered how he would characterize the holding centers on the border.
"I call them detention centers," he explained.
"You are exactly right, and she's wrong," Hemmer pressed. "Why don't you say it?"
"Do you respect the way she characterized it?" the host asked.
Cuellar only said that he has Jewish friends who certainly don't call the shelters concentration camps and they had a "particular reaction" to Ocasio-Cortez's comments. What that reaction was, we still don't know.
Cuellar went on to explain that perhaps the reason none of his colleagues have addressed the AOC controversy is because they've been "working late on appropriations."
"That’s where my concentration’s at," the congressman said.
If not him, then who, Hemmer wondered. Who will step up to condemn AOC's incendiary remarks? Because from what it looks like, she has no plans to retract them.
We need more God-fearing border officials to appear on public platforms and rallies to defend and clear their name. And perhaps invite the likes of AOC to do her job by actually visiting the border and spending time with the law enforcement there to learn what’s going on and how Congress should help.
The Left has too much ground in controlling and distorting this narrative. It’s disgusting.
Play their game. If they do not fervently disavow AOC’s remarks 7 or 8 times while rending their clothes then they are worse than Hitler.

Good on Hemmer.
It’s Party above all else to the Democrat Thugs. They’re depraved.
RE AOC, Bernie, etc:
They’re Socialists. That’s what they themselves say.
And Hitler and his Nazis were Socialists too.
Period.
Any further conversation with them should involve the statement “So you believe in the exact same ideology Hitler and the National Socialists (Nazi Party) believed in.”
the sad thing is- she and other anti-semites in congress will receive hardly any fallout from their despicable actions
Amen to that!
Seems the RATs have a pact about not criticizing one of their own no matter what they say.
Come on, Bill. You need to be more patient with someone who has an IQ of 4.
” Bill Hemmer gave him every chance”
I thought Hemmer and Smith went overboard on this one.
I remember him from CNN. If he's gotten better, cool.
Agreed. :^)
Yes. Joseph P. Kennedy was a well known Hitler supporter.
That part of history is glossed over even now.
But, to be fair, GHWB’s father, Prescott Bush was a business director who was involved with maintaining the financial architects of Nazism. Shocking but true. Many of the very wealthy were impressed with the sheer power of Hitler and his movement. They also held an elitist way of seeing the world.
There are the Haves and the Have-Nots who support us.
Just like The Godfather. Don’t ever go against the family.
“Never tell anyone outside of the Family what you’re thinking, again!”
Was your descriptor taken from an Eddie Murphy skit? It sounds familiar, from back in the day.
What would they condemn? Minimizing the Holocaust? They’re Democrats; they can’t condemn that.
No, that was my own. From somewhere back in my Drum Corps days. Eddie might have had something to do with it, but I did not channel him.
Cuellar was a huge, spineless weakling. I saw that interview. I think I’ll call his office tomorrow and tell him.
