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.

It sounds like a good idea to me. In Hungary, they put them in shipping containers. Make it as unpleasant as possible to convince them to go home.
Whole lot of Jooos! in Queens. Lot of them had parents with numbers on their arms, and money. Good luck funding your reelection, AOC. Hope Soros is generous with the money he started earning by shaking down Jews on their way to Auschwitz.
At the risk of sounding like I’m splitting hairs, the difference between the detention centers at the border and Hitler’s concentration camps is that people were forced onto trains at gunpoint and taken to Hitler’s camps while those in America’s detention centers voluntarily jumped onto trains even going so far as to ride on top of the cars to get to America. Yeah, yeah, I know. Six of one , half dozen of another.
