Breitbart: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) refused Sunday to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp, after a Jewish group had invited her to tour that camp and others this summer to educate herself about the facts of the Holocaust.
Last Monday evening, Ocasio-Cortez compared detention facilities for illegal aliens caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to “concentration camps,” adding the phrase “never again,” which commonly refers to the Nazi Holocaust.
The remark drew outrage and criticism, even from fellow Democrats. Nevertheless, Ocasio-Cortez doubled down, first claiming that she had not been referring to Nazi Germany, then drawing parallels to the U.S. internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War. “I will never apologize for calling these camps what they are,” she tweeted.
Alan Dershowitz, who recently said he would support Joe Biden over President Donald Trump in 2020, said Ocasio-Cortez’s “concentration camp” claim made her a “Holocaust denier.” Bill Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and a determined foe of President Trump, criticized her on his show Friday evening: “If you want to run a campaign based on reparations and concentration camps then it’s going to be very hard to win the election.” Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (who is also a Breitbart News contributor) published a full-page ad in the New York Times:

Coward.
To be wrong is human. To be deliberately wrong is being a democrat.
Has she toured the border?

A quick visit to the Holocaust Museum in DC may help.
Remember the disgusted response from the know-nothing obamabots? “Get educated!” That was their ignorant, lock-step demand to anyone who disagreed with them.
Cortez makes our Founders — who could quote Homer and Cicero in their original Greek and Latin, respectively — turn over in their graves.
Jee – I thot that was Homer and Jethro …………………
Not to mention that AOC specifically used the words! “Never again.”
AOC is the logical extension of the leftist propaganda for the last couple of decades.
Haven’t you heard- Israel is treating the Pallystards worse than the Nazi’s treated the Jews. The US is running concentration camps on the Southern border. We are all going to die from Climate Change in the next 11 1/5 years.
Historically revisionism and ignorance by design have consequences and we are living to see it manifested in the likes of AOC getting elected to high office. When the fall comes it’s going to be brutish and ugly time. People rejoicing in the blocking of YouTube channels are the same people that would burn books if given the chance and they don’t even realize what that means.

Any day now she’ll validate her concentration camp claim by pointing out the entire world is a concentration camp. It’s going to take another 12 years to heat the oven.
Well, she’s officially a Halocausy denier.
What a POS. She’s in the same ugly league as tlaib and omar.
She obviously is a product of today’s education. She really doesn’t know much. She is just regurgitating what is being written for her by her handlers. She reads what they give her and thinks it makes her an expert on whatever talking point they want her to cover. How many times does she have to suffer humiliation before she realizes that they don’t know what they are talking about?
Then, maybe I’m wrong and she really IS this stupid!
@Claudia – La Retardada is the product of today’s
educationschooling.Ignorance is bad enough.
Wilfull ignorance is despicable.
Trying to force others to kowtow to ignorance is infuriating.
^^100% Correct!^^
Education camps are only for others. She’s so smart…she knows everything. Gosh, this ignorant cow is beyond help.
Yeah, just like internment camps, complete with taxpayer-defrauded free facilities & meds for trannies. Note this is Trump’s border czar doing this.

AOC probably thinks Auschwitz is a sausage.
I could suggest a few graphic documentaries for this dunce to view in order for her to come back to reality. Besides, she can’t go. There’s no one to feed the garbage disposal for her.
…at first, I was kind of surprised to see this. I figured she’d go to get som “how-to” tips at the very least, and dream about when she could start forcing Americans who disagree with her into the ovens.
…then it occurred to me that;
1) She’s a Communist, and Communist killed FAR more people in the last century than Nazis could, so she ACTUALLY follows bigger serial killers than Hitler from the get-go.
2) She’s really not an “Implementation” person, she’d rather just ORDER the murders of millions than worry about HOW the murder of millions is DONE. Some lesser being can handle the boring details, THAT part just makes her head hurt.
3) She’s a Millenial, and as such, doesn’t think she can learn ANYTHING from the past, good or bad, since she believes EVERY generation before HERS was wrong about absolutely EVERYTHING.
4) She’s pretty sure she knows how to do everything anyway since she’s a super-genius, and she’ll solve THAT little problem all by herself when the time comes.
…so, all in all, NOT surprising.
…oh, you meant learn something about the torments of Jewish people? She’s a Democrat, so she ALREADY knows all she NEEDS to about THAT, the Anti-Semite party says to hate them, so that’s THAT…
AOC; proudly, defiantly…ignorant!
Unfortunately, there are no connecting flights between where she lives [Fantasyland] and Reality [where most of us live]
This is the plaque at Manzanar;
In the early part of World War II, 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were interned in relocation centers by Executive Order No. 9066, issued on February 19, 1942.
Manzanar, the first of ten such CONCENTRATION CAMPS (emphasis added), was bounded by barbed wire and guard towers, confining 10,000 persons, the majority
being American citizens.
May the injustices and humiliation suffered here as a result of hysteria, racism and economic exploitation never emerge again.
There were almost no pro-NAZI German-Americans during WWII, because they all remembered how they were treated during WWI.
At the request of the US Navy, Lucky Luciano helped suppress pro-Mussolini Italian-Americans because treason was bad for business.
A Japanese spy could come to the door of a loyal Japanese-American, threaten his family back home in Japan, and force him to commit treason.

AOC brought to by political donations and uninformed voters gone astray.
Communists only observe history that has been influenced by communist propoganda according to their perspective. This does not include history that reflects the destructive, deadly affects of the communist doctrine.
AOC’s refusal to visit Auschwitz is proof her objective is to show not even deaths of millions of people are relevant if it doesn’t conform to the communist party line/narrative. AOC is a true believer and party cadre – she is dangerous.
Some Cortezisms:
“Back in 1945, I believe, the Titanic sank because of global warming.”
“We don’t build nothing here no more. I just got a TV and it was built in Antenna. I don’t even know where that is.”
“You know, like, when you put bread in the toaster, and toast comes out, like, where does the bread go”?
” I pushed a button in my new kitchen in DC and there was like, rumbling. I called the janitor and he told me it was a garbage disposal unit. I told him that in The Bronx, we just put the garbage out with the trash. I mean like, what a waste.”
“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” No, No, she didn’t say that. Just joking.
But this broad must be ridiculed as long as she’s in office.
Mor Tom….Moe Tom’s Viking Ancestor !!!! (Love Ya Moe !)
Actually when asked to go …She worried that Her attention Span was
too short to visit a Concentration Camp..
Communist narrative must deny the historical deadly affects of communism in order to decieve mostly misseducated millenial sheeple hungry for an altruistic experience, which is not the objective of communism.
Ironically, altruism can be a result of communism when food, medicine and supplies are short or none existent after communism takes root. Just to survive the masses will be forced to make sacrifices. Any doubt about how this happens – ask a Venezuelan.
JUST as dumb, as she is STUPID! 🙄
Bobcat. Glad you caught it. Good one. But in all seriousness, the people of The Bronx and Queens, should be saying “Never Again” to this whore.
Moe, I think even the dembeciles are frightened by Her…Well not Her,
but Her rabid Fan base of loonies…Think Chuck Manson.
As Geoff C. would say, “Useless as tits on a boar.” He said it, not me. But, it couldn’t be more accurate.
