Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Refuses Invitation to Visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp
[BREITBART] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
(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.

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."

#1 Afraid she might learn something.

#2 Really gorb? She won't visit concentration camps because she doesn't want to think that hard.

As the country sage of Texas-shire Sir Ron of White opined, "you can't fix stupid!"

#3 Perhaps they could be called 'localization regions'?

#4 She doesn't have to visit Poland. There is a Holocaust Museum in DC. She could take an afternoon off from tweeting idiocy to visit it.

#5 Well, if they didn't get across the border, they would not need to be detained at all.

#6 Refused the offer to visit Auschwitz after her asinine statements likening our border situation to the Holocaust?

There was no equivalency at any level. I'd say just resign for being too stupid to serve but we have many other Dems (and some Pubs as well) like her making stupid statements from Congress. She does seem to be the gift that keeps giving.

#7  "I'd say just resign for being too stupid to serve LIVE but ..."

#8 Her logic:

The guy who suggested I visit the camps is racist, racists are bad so we must do the opposite of what they want, therefore I don't have to go.

Hopefully everyone pays attention to the rhetoric and doesn't see that I'm a Holocaust denier and afraid of taking a good suggestion that came from me making yet another ignorant comment.

#10 "haben"...damn conjugation rules! Herr Greilinger, my German teacher in the 10th grade (and served in the German army) looks down and rolls his eyes at me in disappointment!
At least JFK's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" translate well to him being a tasty German pastry!

#13 AOC had a college degree, but was working as a waitress. There is something catastrophically wrong with that picture.
