Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bit off more than she can chew.
Note to self: If you are going to make completely dishonest and self-serving exaggerations that refer to the Holocaust, don’t do it where Rep. Dan Crenshaw can see it.
But AOC did exactly that in a Twitter post on Tuesday.
“This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying,” she AOC wrote. “This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis.”
Her comparison of President Donald Trump’s efforts to deal with illegal migrants with the concentration camps of Hitler’s Nazi Germany did not go over well at all. (A tweet comparing Planned Parenthood to concentration camp operators, for instance, was priceless.)
So AOC did what AOC does.
She doubled down.
“And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps,” AOC told her critics. “Concentration camps are considered by experts as ‘the mass detention of civilians without trial.’ And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.”
There’s only one problem. And it’s huge.
Crenshaw does know the difference.
“Clearly I need to explain that, in concentration camps, people are unjustly sought out and confined,” Crenshaw shot back in a Twitter post.
“This isn’t what is happening at the border. Migrants are illegally crossing our border. Most are asylum seekers, thus pending trial, so your expert definition doesn’t apply.”
But Crenshaw wasn’t finished.
“Your comments reveal total disregard for our sovereignty & a deep ignorance that belittles the horrors of the Holocaust,” Crenshaw wrote
And then Crenshaw gave AOC a little helpful advice:
“If you’re worried about conditions at the border, why don’t you do something about it & support @RepMikeRogersAL’s bill securing billions in humanitarian aid?” Crenshaw said in reference to a bill proposed by Rep. Mike Rogers from Alabama’s 3rd Congressional District.
You have to admit, AOC is adapting into the Swamp and learning the trade of Kabuki Theater very quickly.
AOC announcing Democrats will be first to put a man on the Sun.
Weren’t these migrant facilities established by the halfrican?
On Blast?
Is that a woke term?
Fo shizzle?
On the regular?
Kale?
“AOC announcing Democrats will be first to put a man on the Sun.”
Her plan is to go there at night. Universities everywhere want to give her an honorary degree in Astrophysics.
funny how she leaves out the fact she mentioned “Never Again” in her video- a clear indication she was comparing what’s happening on the border to the holocaust.
“You have to admit, AOC is adapting into the Swamp and learning the trade of Kabuki Theater very quickly.”
I’m pretty sure that she reads lines written for her.
A leftwing PAC auditioned people to run for Congress and she was one that was hired. Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks was involved in this but was later forced out. The group may be operating as Justice Democrats.
She’s tripling and quadrupling down on it today.

Crenshaw is off to another topic since yesterday.

Every single story I’ve seen on AOC’s comment got it wrong. She did not “compare” the detention facilities to Concentration Camps, she strait up CALLED them Concentration Camps.
The scariest thing about AOC is knowing there are millions of American voters just as dumb or dumber.
If it’s that bad, why don’t they just go home and forget about crossing into the US illegally?
Even scarier. AOC is now the real leader of the Democrat party. Pelosi is speaker in name only.
I agree with you. Especially in the urban areas and what the kids are being told in college. Hopefully they will wake up! and I hope soon!
Outstanding-— this craze commie has zero clue and zero mind to comprehend-— trained that way.
And the f’ers at OCCUPY have bs panels with queer actor jap american saying “at least my family wasn’t separated in the internment camps”-— george butt boy star trek takei— homo nut case. He wasn’t old enough to even know WHAT was happening, and.... he actually GOT the settlement money from that law suit. Doubly full of bull crap. This was NOT Dachau or the 100’s of other “facilities” in naziland.
The nazis are doing the illegal invading— thanks to merkel and the islamofascist 5th column. How, for instance is it possible for Cameroonian negroes from Africa, come into Mexico to be taken across the border? Answer: the HEROIN world drug trade and the cartels expansion— got money get them into the US. This HAS to stop, NOW!
Crenshaw! oorahhh!
Compare and contract.
Crenshaw telling this dumb Marxist where to go.
Cruz trying to be her friend to get her in the sack.
One man has integrity and principles
