Full title: Academics Rally Behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Over Concentration Camp Comments: 'She Is Completely Historically Accurate'
Freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to spar with Republicans over her claim that U.S. migrant detention centers are "concentration camps" over the weekend.
Ocasio-Cortez blasted Iowa representative Steve King Sunday after he asked her to visit the site of Nazi death camp Auschwitz with a Holocaust memorial group. Declining his invite, she pointed out King had met with a far-right Austrian group during his own trip to the camp, as The Washington Post noted last October.
Ocasio-Cortez described migrant detention facilities at the southern U.S. border as "concentration camps" during an Instagram live stream June 17. Following up on Twitter, she said the centers "brutalized" migrants with "dehumanizing conditions."

Buff said criticisms of Ocasio-Cortez are "part of a long-term, right wing campaign against the overwhelming success and popularity of progressive politicians like her, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib."
If they are rallying behind what she said they aren’t really academics.
So is she the lone academic supporting her?
Pitiful.
IOW, doubling down on stupid
Probably. One pastor out of 100,000 supports gay rights, but they get wall to press coverage.
No kidding...
It’s almost scary how incapable of grasping the differences between Concentration Camps, and the border containment centers we run today.
Further, she likened our wall to the Iron Curtain wall.
These people are devoid of pertinent knowledge, and the abilit to assess issues.
Well, they are Leftists after all.
All camps are concentration camps
The purpose of a camp is to concentrate some element of the population
I heard the guy who played Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, agrees with her.
And he supposedly has gravitas and authority on this, because his family was sent to internment camps for Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II.
I see a pattern.
“So is she the lone academic supporting her?”
There are several listed.
Read the article.
These liberals, like all holocaust deniers, imply that the Nazi concentration camps were just temporary detainment centers for people who broke the laws, instead of human death processing centers where millions of innocent people were murdered.
Liberals are holocaust deniers.
The best summers of my youth were spent at Concentration Camp! It was wonderful... I was concentrated with others of my age, and we played softball, ate, slept, swam.
Thanks detective. I used to speculate that Occasional Cortex was a Trump operative, but I've gone back to my original thesis.
Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Concentrata
Camp Concentrata is very entertaining
And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining
History has moved on from that definition, and the same is true for concentration camps.
And we're not yet ready to move on from the meaning of "never forget."

and 97% of those were educated in the public schools...hmm
Really?
Will we be informed when the U.S. begins making lampshades and book covers out of human skin, or stuffing furniture with human hair?
My Indian name for her is now ‘BARKING MOONBAT’...............
