Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks that the Trump administration is running “concentration camps” at the U.S.-Mexico border for migrants.

But when asked if she thinks abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood are similar to “concentration camps” for unborn babies, Ocasio-Cortez scoffed and said “absolutely not.”

While surrounded by reporters over the weekend at an event, Ocasio-Cortez was asked about her concentration camps reference and if she believed it also applies to unborn babies.

“Congresswoman, do you think Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics are like concentration camps for fetuses?” a reporter asked AOC.

“Um, absolutely not, sir,” she responded, adding that she thought the question a “kind of a crazy” thing to suggest.

Last week, Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed that Trump’s administration is operating Nazi-style “concentration camps” on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are,” Ocasio-Cortez alleged. “They are concentration camps. And, um, if that doesn’t bother you, I don’t, I don’t know, I like, we can have, okay whatever.”

Ocasio-Cortez then mentioned the Holocaust by saying “Never Again,” a phrase that is often used when referring to the Holocaust.

“I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that we should not that ‘Never Again’ means something and that 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. This week, children, immigrant children were moved to the same internment camps where the Japanese were held in, in the early, in the earlier 20th century and this is, um, this is not even about a crisis for, this is not just about the immigrant communities being held in concentration camps being a crisis.”

Her argument is that migrants being detained by U.S. officials for illegally entering the country is comparable to over six million Jews being starved, tortured, and murdered during the Holocaust.

Her comments are so bad that she has been condemned by prominent figures on both sides of the political aisle.
