Some think Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went too far when she compared the detention of immigrants at the border to being put in "concentration camps" earlier this week.
But actor and activist George Takei, who was sent to a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II with his family, backed up the New York Democrat's characterization.
"I know what concentration camps are," Takei wrote on Twitter this Tuesday. "I was inside two of them, in America. And yes, we are operating such camps again."

True. It’s good to remind liberals, that FDR issued the executive order which resulted in setting up internment camps. A Democrat icon did that.
So many things in history are ignored or distorted by liberals. The Jim crow laws of the old south were all passed by Democrats. Democrat governors resisted the civil Rights movement. It was an evil Republican president, Eisenhower, who sent federal troops to enforce a school integration court order.
Excuse me, war had been declared after Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
Some Italians also went to internment camps because Italy had been declared a Nazi country by Mussolini, the Italian leader. It was just a bit ridiculous considering Fiorello LaGuardia was Mayor of NYC at the time and many Italians were in the US armed services. On October 12, 1942, less than a year later, U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle declared that Italians were no longer enemies of the state. Interesting account here:

Great info. Thanks.
Too many idiots, that is the real problem.
.....and they'd why I still vote and still support the party of FDR that did this.....and made me gay!
"Oh myyyyyy!"
“Yep, You would think entertainers would keep that stuff to themselves rather than alienate so many in their audience. “
I am guessing there is an ideological purity test right after the casting couch test for any new actor or actress. If they aren’t wearing their SJW-ness on their sleeve they won’t get a role.
US has, at least, two morons.
Someone should ask this asshole whether he or any of his countrymen were gassed, or even just tattooed.

“Takei” must mean “arsehole” in Japanese ... if it doesn’t, then with this guy it should.
Show us where orange man bad tattood your serial number on your arm George.
Show us where orange man bad has gas ovens and killed the Japanese in those concentration camps George.
Or maybe explain why AoC AND you support and are members of the only political party that both supported slavery and rounded up people into concentration camps
Well, actual internment camps were pretty similar to the original concentration camps in Russia and the Boer. But the immigration camps are nowhere near those in context or execution.
The internment camps were not concentration camps. They were pretty nice, actually. I slept in those billets.
Back away from the Appletini and be quiet Sissy Mary.
a Freeper passed on a link about a book on the Nazis and the author claimed that MOST Nazi’s were fags. Freeper also stated that the book was added to Wiki a few times as a reference/footnote but was deleted at every turn..
George Takei has no audience and never will. He's never been a 'star' in anything that I know of.
STFU you creepy old jap faggot.
sorry, George, but you weren’t in any concentration camp. not even close
What is most concerning is the way Ocastro-Cortex blows her dog whistle by invoking concentration camps and all the other leftists come barking and repeating her disgusting remarks. Chelsea Clinton, Kamala Harris, Chris Hayes, just to name a few. They are all following the same script and the Communist-style propagandists are writing it.
I think you're right about that. I think trying to impress their liberal holiwierd masters to get new acting roles accounts for most of their insane over the top comments.
