Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Refuses Invitation to Visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp

[zimmer]

[h=2]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.[/h]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.

This is a typical problem for the Left. They just cannot face reality, as it kills their idiotic world view.

Instead they prefer to remain ignorant... and... my oh my this O-Cortez a model of ignorance and stupidity. And she seemingly loves to show it off!!!

Love her, but she really stepped in it with this one.

She seems to be in the habit of doing that 24/7.

Right, some group invites her some place and she probably suspects that they're doing it for political reasons, and she rejects.

And all of a sudden you're like "she's ignorant".

Sorry, you don't need to go to Auschwitz to understand the Holocaust.

You don't need to go to Auschwitz to know that the right in Israel like to make out the Holocaust only involved Jews either.

You don't need to go to Auschwitz to understand that some of Israel's right wing government's policies are a little barbaric either.

They're both jokes. Horse Face for being the unwitting, unqualified, simpleton of a pawn she is, and the Jewish lobbies for jealously scrambling to deflect from the slightest insinuation that theirs wasn't the only holocuast of any historical relevance. So now they're demanding that she re-align herself with the established (read as 'demanded') narrative.

"Sorry, you don't need to go to Auschwitz to understand the Holocaust."

Certainly not when you have the informed opinion of an activist bartender/actress to go on.

And what are your credentials? Seeing how you want to make this about someone's former job, what's your former job? Historian of WW2?

The only thing this story does is rally those who are already politically opposed to AOC.

I mentioned her current job, and I'm not the one spouting off idiotic, insensitive and inaccurate comparisons.

Right, her current job is a bartender or actress.

Dude. Two posts and you've convinced me not to bother with any more of your crap!

Activist/actress ... I believe she quit her bartending job.

If that silly individual visited an actual concentration camp, even someone like her would have pangs of conscience for what she has said.


Hopefully, after 2020, people will be asking: "Alexandria WHO?"

She might invite the Jewish group to visit our own concentration camps. Our fellow posters should express an interest in them as well. After all, they are done in our name.

It's disconcerting to see how eager many of you are to avoid this shameful and cruel policy.

That should have been her move. Accept the invitation and go. Then, a week later, issue an invitation to that group to go to our detention centers.

Of course...she may not like what she finds...children playing with other children, being fed 3 squares a day, medical care, beds, etc.

Not really.

I think she's great, but she put her foot in her mouth here.

AOC is lining rent free in the minds of the right wing. She owns them lock, stock and barrel.

Israel is just a country full of barbaric philosophies like actually wanting to exist as a state, this cannot be tolerated

I treat Hamas and the right wing Muslims and the right wing Israelis as more or less the same.

Wanting to exist as a state is one thing. Doing certain barbaric acts to try and get a reaction out of Hamas is something quite different.

Apparently these Holocaust remembrancers are more interested in preserving their monopoly on the word "concentration camp" than they are in preventing such atrocities from reoccurring. Makes me wonder, what exactly is the point of remembering the holocaust if they refuse to learn their own lessons? It's sad really. These are the people who should have the most sympathy for the migrants currently held in US concentration camps.

That's a nice offer. I've toured there and learned a lot about the Holocaust. But why did they invite AOC? I don't remember her making comments about the Holocaust. Is she a Holocaust denier or something?

Steve King was bragging on AOC the other day by saying that he, himself, had visited Auschwitz. Although, it appears that this representative of the concentration camp party at home was getting in touch with his ideological roots.

Rep. Steve King met with members of a far-right Austrian party with historical Nazi ties during a European trip financed by a Holocaust memorial group.

In an interview with a website associated with the party, King (R-Iowa) declared that “Western civilization is on the decline,” spoke of the replacement of white Europeans by immigrants and criticized Hungarian American financier George Soros, who has backed liberal groups around the world.

Disgusting.

You think the Jews were migrants? Oh boy..
