Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed it was Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) — not herself — who appropriated vernacular associated with the Holocaust in her criticism of the self-avowed Democratic socialist’s comparison of U.S. border facilities to concentration camps.
“Reminder: the member who directly + explicitly compared concentration camps on our border to the Holocaust was *Liz Cheney.* The horrors of the Holocaust went beyond the use of concentration camps, yet camps were part of the process,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
“They have also been used before and after,” she added.
Ocasio-Cortez has garnered a flurry of criticism since referring to President Donald Trump as a “fascist” whose administration is running “concentration camps” on the U.S.-Mexico Southern border last week.
“That is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps,” she claimed during a live-stream on Instagram. “The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it.”
Her eyebrow-raising tirade, in which she said uttered “Never Again,” a phrase synonymous with Holocaust remembrance, were met with scorn from Republicans, namely Cheney, who urged her colleague to learn “actual history” before commenting on the hot button topic.
“Please @AOC do us all a favor and spend just a few minutes learning some actual history,” Cheney tweeted in response to her comments. “6 million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. You demean their memory and disgrace yourself with comments like this.”

Nothing makes you more susceptible to being wrong than being blinded by your own delusions.

Hitler or Stalin, neither was a good man nor were their ideologies.
Could you imagine the 2 of them in a debate. One side would be thinking deep state. The other side would be thinking sex.
She is so wrong...
All of Humanity made the association of "concentration camps" to the Holocaust. We didn't need Liz Cheney to do it for us.
That's why the Holocaust is a crime against Humanity, because we all know it for what it was and still is, which is why we must never forget.
Except, apparently, Cortez and her sycophant defenders.

Don’t forget Mao.
Che and Chavez. Obama’s bromantic heroes.
That poor thing. How on earth did she manage to survive to 29 when she has so few active brain cells.
too dumb to open a bottle of beer with out instructions.
The earliest concentration camps for civilians that I know of were used by the British against the Boers in South Africa.
Anyone have knowledge of earlier ones?
More headline Porn from AOC. She must get really nervous if she isn’t in the news everyday.
AOC- Supreme ignorance coupled with a boatload of arrogance.
The moment she said “Never Again,” she inextricably tied it to NAZI concentration camps.
No alternate interpretation is possible.
She is even worse than your typical RAT politician and that’s saying something.
I have to admit, I find the absolute stupidity of the Left astonishing, and I have had low-to-no expectations from their behavior that I didn’t think they could plumb the bottom of.
But they have.
Amazing. These people actually have power, it is frightening.
B!tch be crazy.
It’s all about the hate with these Dims.
It’s all they bring to the table. They have nothing.
I am getting a little fired of this idiot. She really is not a leader just a troublemaker.
