Ocasio-Cortez Equates Trump’s Border Wall with the Murderous Berlin Wall

“I think it’s (Trump’s proposed border wall) a moral abomination…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.” (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Feb, 20.)

Could the ironies be any richer? Could AOC’s “powers of reasoning” be showcased any more starkly? To wit:

The Berlin Wall (which even die-hard leftists like AOC seem to recognize as a “moral abomination”) was designed to keep desperate suffering people from escaping en masse from what Ocasio-Coretz and Bernie Sanders prescribe to make people happy.

Trump’s (proposed) border wall is designed to keep people who would elect people like Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders to afflict us with their socio-economic prescriptions from becoming future U.S. voters.

Given the above, can you imagine a worthier project than the border wall?

Majority of snowflakes have ZERO clue. In 1962 I visited Berlin with my mom since my dad was stationed in Europe. We had the opportunity to tour East Berlin passing through Checkpoint Charlie so we did. At the east side, the guards boarded the bus and headed straight for me. As a 14 year old I was a little nervous to say the least. The east side was a dark dismal place with enormous mounds of WW II debris still everywhere. At that age it was easy for me to see that it was not a life I wanted to ever have to live. Chilling to say the least. As time went on, excursions to the east were extremely limited. I am glad I had the opportunity.

The Berlin wall was built by Bernie’s beloved Soviet Union, who were socialists, like AOC. Is she saying socialism is bad?

[Brilliant]

The Berlin Wall committed murder?

[butlerweave]

AOC is about to dethrone Nancy and take control of the Demonut Socialist Party

[dsrtsage]

She is right. The wall will be built, concertina wire will be strung, and guard towers will be erected every quarter mile with machine gun turrets and snipers to stop people from heading south. Actually, when their fraud machine finally wins total power, they will then be greatful for the wall

Hitler never had a “Berlin Wall”. The Berlin wall was built by Soviet-controlled East Germans over 15 years after Hitler’s death.

[proust]

That’s the joke.

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s all right. I associate Cortez with Maduro and Chavez.

[dvan]

AOC is right! The Wall will be used to keep us in once the dems take control. She knows this.

[elcid1970]

The East German border guards at the Wall who shot people trying to escape committed murder.

Who was it who said, “Bernie Sanders went to the Soviet Union for his honeymoon, and never came back.”?

[zek157]

I guess the historically illiterate AOC doesn’t realize the Berlin Wall was made to keep people in, not out. There’s a difference.

[kempster]

One was built to keep people in and the other is built to keep people out. Big ass difference.

[AFret.]

Trying to reason with this dame is like talking to a wall...

[Telepathic Intruder]

A wall to keep people in is a prison. A wall to keep them out is what every home has. We’ve been building them for thousands of years. They’re what keep civilization together.

[Vaduz]

Two walls would do a better job of stopping the invasion build them stop the crimes.

[grey_whiskers]

Hey AOC, tell me how many people were trying to sneak INTO East Germany, mmmmkay?

By the way, how well did it work on separating people.

[Southack]

Ask AOC why she supports Maduro walling off aid supplies to the Venezuelan people.
