Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a rising star in the progressive movement. People have watched what she says with a magnifying class. She's said some rather wacky things over the last few months, but this one takes the cake.
When the news broke that the Central American caravan rushed the United States border and Border Patrol agents fought back with tear gas, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter...to compare those caravan riders the Jews fleeing from Nazi Germany.
Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime.
It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.
It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda.
It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria.
And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. https://t.co/qhv7Rr1itn— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) November 25, 2018
This is what the scene at the southern border looked like:

This is nothing comparable to what occurred in Nazi Germany. Absolutely nothing. It's a crazy assertion to think that the violence in Central America is like Adolf Hitler wanting to wipe out an entire ethnic population. The violence that's occurring in places like Honduras isn't the result of one person wanting to get rid of a group of people because of their religious beliefs. It's a result of gangs taking over the area. It's a result of people deciding that a life of crime is a way out of a life of poverty.
Ocasio-Cortez should be ashamed of herself for comparing the Jews to these illegal aliens who knowingly storm our southern border. The caravan riders put the lives of Border Patrol agents at risk. The Jews, on the other hand, came to America with dignity and respect after living through hell on earth.
Don't belittle Jewish people to try to push your political agenda, Alexandria. It's disgusting.
Doesn’t matter the liberal jews will still vote and support her
The amusing thing in 2019...will be the Sunday political chatter shows which will include O-C in at least one major appearance every single weekend. Just about everyone in the nation will be able to easily identify her by the end of 2020.
Well, the Honduran refugees in the caravan are wildly waving the Honduran flag in honor of the hellhole they left; I don’t recall seeing pictures of German Jewish refugees wildly waving the Nazi flag after they were able to escape. Honduras is yes, a miserable place but if the caravan is so fond of it, why did they leave??
Yeah, they’re fleeing war (rolling eyes)
Yes. They’ll walk right into cattle cars too.
Lying bitch.
There is a big difference. Jews fleeing the Nazis were hunted down Soros. Caravan riders are underwritten by Soros.
This bitch’s ignorance demonstrates why the left continues to refuse to teach history to these ignorant maggots. Keep ‘em stupid and ignorant and they’ll vote “democrat” every time.
Wait, I thought we Americans were the Nazis but the Hondurans were fleeing to us.
Yeah - like she cares about Jews ...
Wait... so are they running *from* nazis or *to* nazis? The propaganda is getting confusing.
They’re probably running FOR nazis.
Soreos.
The girl is a dedicated flake.
Great map ........ where’d you find it?
Also being done to overload the welfare systems to destroy the U.S. for more fundamental change of the Obama kind. Straight out of Alinsky.
Dang, you beat me to it.
Yes, and WI wouldn’t listen either after 1954.
Why are we even paying this liberal air head the time of day.
Out of NY in the post watergate era, a bunch of hard core liberal candidates got elected in the Northeast. At least they were conversant in the issues. Their understanding of what it would take to fix their issues were slanted to the left but at least they had supportable points they could utter. This one’s logic is like a subway coming through a station, it picks up some passengers and drops them off further down the line without knowing anything about any of them.
Frank Perconte: Hey, George.
George Luz: Yeah?
Frank Perconte: Kind of remind you of Bastogne?
George Luz: Yeah, now that you mention it. Except, of course, there’s no snow, we got warm grub in our bellies, and the trees aren’t exploding from Kraut artillery, but yeah… Frank… other than that, it’s a lot like Bastogne.
