Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared President Trump’s border barrier with the Berlin Wall – a Cold War symbol of Communist oppression that divided Germany for nearly three decades.
“No matter how you feel about the wall, I think it’s a moral abomination,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a livestream video for her supporters last Friday, according to a report on Fox News.
“I think it’s like the Berlin Wall. I think it’s like any other wall designed to separate human beings and block out people who are running away from the humanitarian disasters. I just think it’s wrong.”
Twitter users were quick to give Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described Democratic Socialist, a history lesson.
“Dear @AOC: Let me serve as your private professor here. The Berlin Wall was meant to keep people inside the socialist/communist utopia and stop them from fleeing to the decadent capitalist west,” posted Gad Saad.
“So as the New Millennial Lenin, you might want to refrain from using this example.”

She’s a mental giant, I tell ya or is that midget.
She never heard of the Berlin Wall until George Soros mentioned it to her.
Free Countries build walls to STOP PEOPLE FROM COMING IN ILLEGALLY.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
Crazy eyes...
“In other parts of the video, which surfaced late Monday, she talked about her life in Washington, DC, as a new member of Congress, calling it “super weird.”
“Here in DC it’s like, so weird. It’s like everybody is like, a spy. Like, it’s so bizarre,” she said.
“It’s like — you could go out to get a coffee and the person that’s, like, sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant is like, you know, like,” she said, as she made typing motions.
“Then they go and, like, they text all of their friends that they saw so-and-so at this cafe and it’s like, triangulation,” she continued. “And it’s super weird.” She also bemoaned the fact that it’s harder to blend in in DC than in New York.

” text all of their friends that they saw so-and-so at this cafe “
Kind of hard to hide a horse in a cafe.
It isn’t “Trump’s Wall”
It already exists and Nancy Pelosi voted for it, funded it and they could just as easily call it the “Chuck Schumer”, as we also voted for and funded the exist structure...
Democrats are trouble... and they done it all on their own!
3 sentences and she used the word “like” TEN times. Completely irritating !
I can’t blame her for not reading a history book before...she probably wasn’t given one or had access to one...BUT, is she even aware that the Berlin Wall was built to keep Germans IN?
It’s harder for her to “blend in” now that she has become famous. I doubt that there’s a big difference between blending in between New York and Washington. When she was in New York, she was virtually unknown till she burst on the scene after winning her primary and then general election.
No, she has no knowledge of the Berlin Wall, or the reason it was built. She’s again just showing her ignorance.
The Berlin Wall was to keep people in not keep them out.
The border wall has a better analogy in the Great Wall of China that was designed to keep undesirables out.
It’s likely she never learned to speak English. LOL!
