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.

Pelosi = House Speaker in name only
AOC = The Dem’s real leader
Capped off with a huge dose of arrogance.
What a ninny. If these were concentration camps, the only freebies these crimillegals would get are free burials in mass graves.
To be able to admit that we’ve done something wrong requires a certain level of ego strength. She obviously has no ego as she recognizes the act of failure and can’t face it because it destroys her self capacity as a person. So even if she is right, she is a failure for being unable to recognize the difference based upon her concern more for her own worth than what others think is her worth.
“Nother words, being worthless to herself continually being unable to right correctly perceived wrongs makes her worthless to everybody all the time. And it definitely makes her a bad choice for leadership. She can’t handle the truth if it is or not. And will act accordingly toward it, incorrectly at least half the time. Want her as POTUS? I don’t think she qualifies for congress. She barely qualifies as an adult human. A three year old is never wrong as they think. Correlation? She wouldn’t know.

I’m surprised some of the GOP haven’t apologized on her behalf.
There is something fundamentally wrong with her.

And she reveals her triggers to that dysfunction when needled. The solution to AOC is to needle her until she blows up.
Excellent!!!!!!
Please continue, Mz. Cow Fartz. The more you talk the bigger the #WalkAway effect gets.
Being a Marxist means you have the media behind you.
Is she being primaried at least?
Remember how after Jews were put in concentration camps, more Jews kept entering Germany so they could be picked up and put into the camps? I don’t either.
This ditz is self-immolating.
AOC is accidentally correct on one historical point.
In German, the term for “Concentration Camps” was originally applied to prison camps that were created for political opponents of the Hitler regime.
From memory, almost 100,000 Germans were arrested and brutally treated. Many thousands died from mistreatment or summary executions.
Concentration Camps for European Jews were created about five years later.
This is what she does, doubles down on stupid.
That’s pretty cool.
She says something stupid and
TRASHES REPUBLICANS FOR REPEATING IT.
I'm pretty sure Village Idiot is clueless about the term.
Concentration Camp: noun
a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz.
The detention facilities are no where near what a concentration camp is.
They are the enemy of America.
I wish President Trump would. ......
Hi.
Before I hear another word out of Occasional-Cortex’s mouth, I want to know when she is going to pose nude in Hustler.
Or, make me a sammich and bring me a cold beer.
