CNN asks AOC if Obama had 'concentration camps'
wnd.com ^ | 6/27/2019 | unknown

Despite criticism from Holocaust survivors, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., continues to use the term “concentration camps” to describe the federal detention centers temporarily housing the massive wave of migrants who cross the border illegally to apply for asylum.

Ocasio-Cortez’s chief target of criticism has been President Trump, but as President Obama’s former ICE chief pointed out this week, the detention centers existed during the Obama administration.

So CNN’s Jake Tapper asked the self-described democratic socialist congresswoman if she called the centers “concentration camps” while Obama was president.

“Well, at the time, I was working in a restaurant,” she began. “But I do – I absolutely was outspoken against Obama’s immigration policies and the detention of families then.

She insisted she’s held a “remarkably consistent position.”

"“Well, at the time, I was working in a restaurant,”" The now closed restaurant/bar was unavailable for comment. I did hear her co-workers thought she was good at skimming their tips..................

Well I do agree she’s held a remarkably constant position.

She’s been an incredibly ill informed person as long as I have been aware of her.

“Well, at the time, I was working in a restaurant, which was also very much like a concentration camp."

The Democrat bovine excretion is getting pretty deep when a CNN hack actually sort of questions it.

I love her idiot answer “I was working in a restaurant”.
Reminds me of the old joke, “6 weeks ago I couldn’t even spell engineer, now I are one”

She didn’t know what the heck was going on before she ran for office and now she is an expert in everything. I know she’s just a sock puppet and was chosen to run in a district where a Democrat cannot lose, but surely they could have picked a slightly less dumb sock puppet with perhaps the ability to connect brain-to-mouth.

She didn’t know Obama was detaining families because the media hid it.

So she had no opinion or stance then.

Or, "Last year I couldn't even spit over my chin; now I spit ALL over it."

This harpie has the gift of gab for sure; unfortunately it more greatly resembles dysentery of the mouth. She might do better if she'd drink some kaopectate.

CNN should have gone further.

She was correct. She was working in a restaurant.

The question to ask her is why did Obama and Clinton find it necessary to have these detention centers, and why did the party she is a member of support it ?

Well, give her credit for ending ‘blonde jokes’ forever. She puts the DUH in duhmb! She just boarded the YUGEST gravy train there is and won’t keep her mouth shut. Proof positive that they no longer teach comprehension skills in prestigious colleges and universities.

I believe she attended the University of Dumbassistan on the Island of Moronica and arrived on the Ship of Fools.
