Did you ever imagine we’d be at a place in this country where our very own lawmakers who swore an oath to defend the United States, would so casually compare America to Nazi Germany?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued the trend of Democrats in Congress denigrating America by saying the federal government is operating “concentration camps” for illegal immigrants at the southern border.

It is a despicable statement unworthy of the office she holds.
“That is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps,” she claimed without evidence during an Instagram video session with followers.
“The fact that concentrations camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it,” the freshman Democrat added.

“I don’t use those words lightly,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “I don’t use those words to just throw bombs. I use that word because that is what an administration that creates concentration camps is. A presidency that creates concentration camps is fascist and it’s very difficult to say that.”
- Barack Obama was the one who actually put kids in cages, so by extension, she must also be upset that his administration ran ‘concentration camps.’
- It can’t be that ‘difficult to say’ since she used the term at least five times in a two-minute time span.
- What’s ‘extraordinarily disturbing’ is that someone this ignorant was elected to Congress.
- Whoever taught history to AOC in high school should have their teaching certificate rescinded immediately. You did a very poor job.
- This isn’t even vaguely comparable to ‘concentration camps.’
In 2014, the Obama Administration also housed migrant children at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, the former site of a Japanese internment camp.
The Obama administration also housed migrant children at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, another former site of a WWII internment camp.
In a sane world – where Democrats weren’t the party of unhinged lunatics – Ocasio-Cortez would be reprimanded and censured for making such an anti-American statement.
World War II
Ocasio-Cortez has an absolute infatuation with World War II references and seemingly thinks the America she grew up in is akin to Nazi Germany.
It wasn’t that long ago she was comparing global warming to World War II. In October of this past year, she compared climate change to Nazi Germany in a call for more radical environmental efforts in the United States.

“So we talk about existential threats, the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II,” she told a crowd of supporters. “And so we’ve been here before and we have a blueprint of doing this before.”
She created a short film that also compared the fight to curb climate change to the Greatest Generation.
Climate change is here + we’ve got a deadline: 12 years left to cut emissions in half.

“Some of us remembered as a nation we’d been in peril before,” she fretted in the video. “The Great Depression, World War II. We knew from our history how to pull together to overcome impossible odds and at the very least we owed it to our children to try.”

Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, an actual true American patriot, reminded Democrats not that long ago about this specific topic.
“President Trump is a lot of things but he’s not Hitler,” Crenshaw said in a video directed at Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson. “He didn’t kill millions of people. He didn’t start a world war. He doesn’t have any concentration camps.”
Maybe someday they’ll figure that out.

Only muslims run that kind of Government. Our govervenment is protecting us from mumps measels and chikcken poxs. Also from drugs and killers and do not forget sex traficing the kind of government she is talking about is shari law right otc
The Queen of hyperbole, and the most ethno historically challenged elected Congresswoman in history I give you AOC, aka Cortez as in the conqueror of Mexico.
This bimbo is crazy as Hell! Why would anyone pay attention to her except for her sick comedy routine.
I don’t blame AOC I BLAME ALL OF THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT TEACHING OUR CHILDREN AND YES SHE IS STILL A CHILD! SHE SHOULD NOT BE IN OFFICE! HER IGNORANCE SHOWS WHEN SHE OPENS MOUTH! SOME ONE SHOULD PUT HER SHOE IN HER MOUTH BEFORE SHE SAYS ANYTHING MORE IGNORANT THAN SHE ALREADY HAS!!! BUT THEY WON’T. SO YOU GO AOC DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING PUT YOUR SHOE INTO YOUR MOUTH AND SAY NOTHING AND YOU MIGHT NOT BE SO IGNORANT!!! Keep AMERICA GREAT
This girl is nuts! Voters who elected her better get busy and get her out of congress, surely we can do better than this simple minded pea brain, she is truly dangerous because she can vote! How have we come to this? It seems she never grew up.
I often question the mental state of people that would elect a clearly unstable brainwashed commie brat to public office.
IT LOOKS LIKE SHE GOT PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH… POOR THING, IT MUST BE THE PAIN THAT MAKES HER CRAZED, CERTAINLY NOT THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE…
OH YAY, I WAS WORRIED THAT AOC DOES NOT TAKE THE TERM ‘CONCENTRATION CAMPS’ LIGHTLY – OKAY THEN!
IS THAT A DIS ON PEOPLE WITH ADD?
HEY BARTENDER! ANOTHER ROUND HERE!!
Hey AOC I have news for you. Those are not concentration camps. They are terrorist training camps.
Really, just now are they waking up. When she was running around giving speeches to get elected did she speak better, was she speaking intelligently then. So what happened all of a sudden that she got stupid??? It is the people who elected her, fault because they just didnt do their job to listen carefully. You dont get stupid overnight.
After saying this kind of garbage, she is upset that in her own district she is striking out very seriously. Putting it simply, the Bronx is very sorry they tried out the bartender. They do not like her and she won’t be re-elected. Shame, she had the chance of a lifetime, and just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. She’s done!!!
AOC is SUCH a liar–she just makes stuff up out of her VAST IGNORANCE about almost EVERYTHING, and spews it out over TV. The really sad thing is, there are actually people out there STUPID enough to believe her BS!
This women is NUTS. How in the devil did she get elected? Those people in her district better learn to choose more intelligent leaders, because she has a screw loose.
NO NOT ANYMORE THEY ALL ARE FAR FAR AWAY TO THE LEFT SO LIBERAL AND SOCIALIST. All THESE dem rats in office want their power back and they don’t care how they get it!! The new house REP’S are useless for the dem RATS POLITICS! But the deep STATE AGENDA is AFU from fighting each other in the fake news media! When will we see the HRC, OBAMA ,COMIE,BRENNAN AND ALL THE REST OF DEEP STATE CRIMINALS AND TRATORS SENT TO GITMO!!! When will we see JUSTICE DONE AND THE DONKEYS GO TO GITMO!!
Who is behind AOC? Who is pushing the buttons and pulling the strings? She is well mentored by someone with a lot of money and an evil agenda. She didn’t come out of the blue and decide which district in what area would be the easiest path for her to achieve an election. She’s not that smart. Her stumbling in the first few months after her election was almost enough to call for her removal but again, the buttons were pushed and she regained her footing. Who put the fix in on Nancy to give three junior members, AOC, Omar and Tliab top spots in important committees; something that has never been done before. Why is Nancy so quiet about their insubordination? It’s so obvious they own her. How long will moderate Democrats put up with the destruction of their once great party? Are there any moderate Democrats left?
More info the media will NEVER EVER tell you.
The people in her district fell for her line of crap and already regret it. She is a fool first class. She’ll be a one and done and back behind the bar before you know it….Don’t send your kids to Boston University….
It is time to terminate this ingrate.
She has the maturity and insight of an eight year old. That is why one imitates her so easily. Let’s stop paying attention to her temper tantrums. It gives her legitimacy.
I agree 100%…she could be Bernie’s sphincter muscle!!! There will be no run in 2028…she will not be serving when she gets booted out by those in New York in 2020 who have enough embarrassment to last them a lifetime from this clueless, bigoted bartender!!!
She has her nose up Bernie’s butt and treats her comments as a trial run for the POTUS in 2028! She is a self promoting foll!
We also have insane asylums for folks like you AOC….maybe it is about time you confirm your intake appointment?????????
How do we get lazy people up off their butts and go vote? How do we get them past the ‘My vote won’t make a difference’ mentality? How do we get more of us to vote than ‘them’? We have to wake up the American people and make them see what’s at stake before the whole nation is in ruins politically. I wish I knew the answer – my sister voted for Obama twice because she thought he was going to ‘help her with her mortgage’.
I don’t know how she got there butt I do know how to vote her back out in 2020. Lets do it. !!!
At the horse trough.
how does she successfully feed herself..
AOC is a witch of the worse kind. She hate America
Why is a NY Representative telling the Federal US government what to do ?
Someone put a muzzle on her or turn off the mike in front of her.
She is getting far more attention and publicity than she deserves. There are world wide situations which need our focus right now.
Look how many people die in Chicago each week and ‘normalize’ the numbers for the same time frame. It’s safer at the border.
Of course I agree w/you! But, out of all the massive numbers of kids and adults that have crossed this year only 5-6 have died? And they cry like it’s an EPIDEMIC! Ridiculous!
Yes, at the time, there was a flu epidemic. More children in the US were dying of the flu around the country. But they were screaming about the ones at the border.
A loss of life is tragic. But, putting it into perspective, that is fewer than a weekend in Chicago with all its gun laws to make the place safe.
Well, since only 5 or 6 kids have died so far, we’re way behind. We’ve got to get those numbers up. Get going, Border Patrol! Cut those rations!
In regard to this particular matter, AOC is exactly correct. If you read even a little bit of history around the term ‘concentration camp’, you would know that the term itself and the practice of concentrating people seen as undesirable by the government is purely a British invention used against the Boers (South Africans of Dutch ancestry) during the Second Boer War 1900-1902. This was done by the British Army as a means of ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the more desirable areas of South Africa that the British wanted. Most of the camp inmates were women and children held as hostages due to the fact that most Boer men were off in the bush fighting against the British Army. The camps were impromptu affairs and as many as 50% of the ‘illegals’ in those camps died of starvation and disease.
I wonder if this woman has ever read such tomes as “The Diary of Ann Frank”. Or such works as the Christian writer Corrie Ten Boom, “Tramp for the Lord”, where she describes life in a concentration camp…A REAL ONE! Where there are active lice all over the cots, cots are jammed together, no such thing really as medical care. the women are called out at ungodly hours for roll call in the bitter cold, sometimes forced to get naked.
That’s just a few highlights off the top of my head. I doubt that she has ever read an account of a real concentration camp survivor.
I read the story of that young man that escaped N. Korea; his name escapes me right now. He was born in a concentration camp. Had NEVER SEEN the world outside. The stories HE told. Eating frogs, etc. Anything really. Horrible.
AOC, YOU TRULY DISGUST ME
Wrong. She does have a knowledge of history, at least some parts of which you yourself are completely ignorant. Please see my posting above regarding the origin of the term ‘concentration camp’ and who and why such a thing was invented by those freedom-loving, fair-minded British.
well …you got the thoughts right.. your spelling and use of proper words could be better….. I actually support your thinking…. it is more coherent than AOCs.
AOC has know knowledge of anything, i do agreed with you. AOC has night mares in which she has to say the next day. AOC is better off as a bar Maid, or maybe she shouldbut a diaper on and start all over from day one if she can fine it.
What is so sad – she has no knowledge of history. She runs down our country every chance she gets. Good job New York!!!!!!
First, AOC needs to get out of DC. Then, just to make her happy…we put all those people currently in detention back from where they came from…mostly on the Mexican side of the border. And process them BEFORE letting them in the US. See how simple that is.
Maybe. Some states have laws for recall of elected officials.
Is it possible to get her removed?
Yes! And I’m sure that we would not hold these people if they up and said, “I want to go back to my country. Let me go”. They are not being held against their will in that respect. The German concentration camps didn’t offer that option.
She hasn’t a clue about anything! The detention camps are to hold the people applying for entry or asylum! Concentration camps were used as prisons!
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! GOOD ONE!!! SHE COULD USE A REALLY GOOD CONCENTRATION CAMP! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
She gets stuck in the shower with her shampoo – wash, rinse, repeat!
A concentration camp—i.e. one where you learned to concentrate— would be good for AOC. If she could learn to concentrate, she might say something that made sense.
Who’s dumb and dumber? This ignorant politician or those who voted her in???
There must be a way to recall this embarrasment.
In the words of Forrest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Or, in AOC’s case, what she says.
I think there are only certain states that have “recall” provisions in their constitution or charter. I think CA does. Don’t know about the rest. And even then I don’t know if it applies to state-level elected officials or to all elected officials, federal and state and muni.
Right now she is just one step above those who elected her… she could be on the bottom of the ladder …if the NYC voters wake up and recall or impeach or whatever they need to do to get this loser removed….
She takes the phrase, “how stupid can you be” as a challenge.
