Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., refused to apologize Wednesday for labeling migrant detention centers as "concentration camps."
"I will never apologize for calling these camps what they are," she tweeted response to a call by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's, R-Calif., for her to apologize.
"DHS ripped 1000s of children from their parents & put them in cages w inhumane conditions," she added. "They call their cells 'dog pounds' & 'freezers.' If that makes you uncomfortable, fight the camps, not the nomenclature."
Ocasio-Cortez also retweeted Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., who accused the GOP of engaging in "fake outrage."
"There's a lot of fake GOP outrage from folks who have no problem with warehousing thousands of innocent, desperate people in barbed-wire enclosures that look and function like concentration camps," Huffman said Wednesday. "Can we please talk about that?"
McCarthy joined a number of Republicans and other government figures who took offense at her comparison, including Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement DIrector Mark Morgan who called the New York congresswoman's comments "irresponsible."
"This type of rhetoric from our elected leaders is reckless, irresponsible, misinformed and wrong," he told Fox News on Wednesday.

They call their cells “dog pounds” & “freezers.”
I will never apologize for calling these camps what they are.
If that makes you uncomfortable, fight the camps - not the nomenclature. https://t.co/eJpJWeYiot— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 19, 2019

One thing to remember is that these liberal nutcases live on Huffington Post. That is their world. They can’t be talked out of their “reality”.
She can be Coonman’s running mate.
Maybe they should go home then.
Again — show me the concentration camps. Any retainment centers are luxury hotels compared to what this 3rd world trash is used to.
The only reason we detain them at all is because the dems won’t change the stupid laws. These people broke into our country and should be thrown back across the border and not detained at all.
I don’t want illegal aliens in holding facilities.
I want them returned to their own country, ASAP!
Yeah, right on AOC, like these people are forced to come here.
How many has she taken in now?
Like a true child, won’t just admit she made a mistake and offended a lot of people.
“Meh, it’s just a bunch of Jews and Nazis complaining”.
Pretty sure they have that option.
Stupid is as stupid is
Yep.
Still sounds (and acts) like a 14 y.o.
There is something fundamentally wrong with her.
.
San Fran Nan is being forced to submit to her overlord and accept the new normal of avowed anti-Semites in the Rat House Caucus.
What stupid laws. They are here illegally and should be deported instead of detained and then shipped all over the country. They are invaders and PDJT should treat them as such.
we seem to be collecting more and more mental defectives in our society
is it some of our schools, some of our fast food, something in the air, something in the water, or what?
I wish this retarded Puerto Rican b*tch would go back to her failure of an island.
First of all, it was OBAMA who put kids in cages, NOT President Trump.
Second, many of these kids are props used by coyotes, i.e., human smugglers, to get across our border.
Third, who asked for them to come here?
Deport them all!
she’s gonna look nice on a stripper pole when her 15 minutes of fame are up
Hi AOC
you can come over take your top off and make me sammaches and shut up... dummy
The quintessential village idiot — impervious to facts, evidence, logic, and objective truth. As a member of Congress, Occasionally-Conscious makes an adequate cocktail waitress.
I’d take “Turtle Man” any day. :)
