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.

Her 15 minutes of fame have been extended to two years.
AOC’s presence on the scene is way beyond the “use by” date.
Agreed. And you are also wasting your breath on trying to discuss with them things like confronting the drug addiction problem in the United States (and also Canada) that funds the drug overlords who rule Mexico and Central America, incompetent and corrupt political rule in these countries, and other intransigent things that contribute to the migrant and illegal alien problem. All that matters to them is Orange Man and his people are heartless racists.
Commies never have to say they are sorry..Commies favored the Holocaust against Jews..by mocking the Holocaust and turning it into a joke, they are accomplishing more than Holocaust deniers ever could
Hey Honey,
Innocents they most definitely ARE NOT! They knowingly break our laws, a lot of those children are sent by their parents and are not with their real ones here, but those people who are being paid to “pretend” to be parents so they will take advantage of our leniency.....
This little twit needs a spanking.
If their accompanying person (probably not a family member) had not entered the U.S. illegally, none of this would happen. The Republicans should hammer that point and put the blame squarely on whoever “ripped” them from their family in Mexico and brought them here.
My Mexican friends and acquaintances say these are most likely trafficked children.
“This little twit needs a spanking.”
No, she needs a megaphone, a microphone, a soap box, a YouTube channel, and 24/7 coverage.
The more this idiot speaks, the more people realize what the Democrat party is -— socialist, anti-white, anti-Jew, idiots.
The ignoramus speaks truth. Let me explain: Most ignorant and stupid people never apologize cause they actually believe what they say......
I can’t see how these people live with themselves. But when you realize that they have no soul and are obsessed with evil power ,it all makes sense.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just a loud mouthed idiot who grasps every oppurtunity to get her name in the news. This comment about concentration camps was also just stupid. Who cares if she doesn’t appologize? She is just ensuring that the people in her district will not vote for again next time.
If AOC was incarcerated I would refer to it as a horse stable.
Maybe, as Rush posited, she’s just an attention whore.
Poor Nancy Pelosi was so anxious to get the gavel back, and she didn’t know that this fool AOC would ruin all that lovely power and importance that she wanted to enjoy in her last years.
To be a Democrat you have to be non-white and a true leftist socialist kook! There are a lot of common sense thinking Democrats, while hardly conservative, are not nutjobs like AOC. They are increasingly being pushed to the outer margins by the continuing socialist radicalization of the RAT Party! lRemember that millions of these people voted for Donald Trump in 2016. I think that number will increase next year. These are the new version of the Reagan Democrats. I guess we should call them Trumpocrats!
Never having to apologize is one of the hallmarks of a true liberal.
Being a liberal means that you never have to say that you’re sorry.
It just seems that behind that smile is a lot of hatred, racism, and resentment.
