Delusional Dems Equate Temporary Border Detention with WWII Death Camps

The irrepressible Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) latest video stink-bomb charged that “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border.” To make it official, she later tweeted, “This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.”

Fort Sill is no Auschwitz, but facts are apparently for wimps.

Democrats seldom leave a politically fallen comrade behind and never admit the obvious. Enter House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler who tweeted, “We fail to learn that lesson when we don’t call out such inhumanity in front of us.” Rep. Nadler is a Jewish-American and, like AOC, a fellow New Yorker who believes his own twaddle. It will come as no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar agrees with AOC that migrant detention centers are concentration camps because “there are camps and people are being concentrated.”

Stop making nauseating comparisons to Nazis and the Holocaust because there is no comparison.

Speaking of twaddle, which the dictionary define as “silly idle talk” or “something insignificant or worthless,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped twitching long enough to release a statement: “The President must walk away from these cruel, ineffective and discriminatory policies, and work with Democrats to support smart, effective immigration reform that honors our values and keeps families together and safe.”

Breaking with precedent, however, Speaker Pelosi did not predict any Armageddon-like consequences. See health care, tax reform, Dreamers, or gun control.

The Adults Chime In About Concentration Camps

Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Center, responded” “Concentration camps assured a slave labor supply to help in the Nazi war effort, even as the brutality of life inside the camps helped assure the ultimate goal of ‘extermination through labor.”

“We are deeply disturbed by the language used,” the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York said in a letter sent directly to AOC on June 18. Understatement is unavoidable when dealing with large organizations and delicate matters. Read the letter in full; they weren’t happy, and I expect were working on important issues when AOC’s comments emerged.

Townhall’s Timothy Meads puts blame on the Democrats where it belongs: “House Republicans have tried 15 times this year to secure $4.5 billion dollars specifically to ‘feed and shelter migrant families and unaccompanied children, fund urgent medical care and transportation, and pay for growing overtime cost for DHS men and women on the frontlines.’”

Dem response? “Bupkis” (or insert your own appropriate term). Maybe that’s their twisted plan (see below).

Setting the Record Straight

The horror of the Nazi’s operation to exterminate the Jewish race is captured brilliantly at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Inside you hear whispers, sniffles, muted sobs, and sometimes not much else. On any given day, you’ll find hundreds of wide-eyed teenagers exploring the halls in stunning silence. It’s about a 10-minute walk from AOC’s office, if anyone cares to tell her.

The museum is a monument to evil and unimaginable death. Each exhibit is accurate and incredibly well done. One of the more famous exhibits is a huge pile of old leather shoe. They are all that remain of their owners, murdered Jews, and they pain your heart.

The Holocaust is an elaborate tragedy, but a simple story: The Nazis killed six million Jews and five million non-Jews in concentration camps by gassing, abuse, starvation, disease, and death squads.

A Disgusting, Disrespectful Comparison

Those currently seeking asylum in the United States may be detained, but they receive taxpayer-funded meals, healthcare, clothing, and shelter. Not all of them are detained, and many are released after a short time. So stop already with the nauseating comparisons to Nazis and the Holocaust because there is no comparison.

Hi @AOC –

You say America runs concentration camps.

I spoke with people who have true authority on this issue: David & Sami. They both survived real Nazi concentration camps.

They have a message for anyone who thinks America runs concentration camps.

There’s an old saying along the lines of “Respect what people say but, to really know what’s in another person’s heart, watch what they do.”

Know this: if AOC really cared, she’d stop the theatrics and do her job. As a member of Congress she can propose legislation to address our border issues. To make things worse perhaps, AOC opposes the Senate $4.6 billion border-crisis humanitarian aid bill that Pelosi finally agreed to pass through the House.

In the meantime, maybe AOC will brush up on her World War II history, and even more recent Obama administration history, because she badly needs to do so.
