Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday compared the scenario at the United States ‘ southern frontier with the Holocaust concentration camps.
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.

And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps.
Concentration camps are considered by experts as “the mass detention of civilians without trial.”
And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.

Without hesitating Rep. Dan Crenshaw, fired back with an hilarious tweet.
Clearly I need to explain that, in concentration camps, people are unjustly sought out and confined.
This isn’t what is happening at the border. Migrants are illegally crossing our border. Most are asylum seekers, thus pending trial, so your expert definition doesn’t apply. https://t.co/gE6kaj7jGz

Your comments reveal total disregard for our sovereignty & a deep ignorance that belittles the horrors of the Holocaust.

Even a Canadian who identified himself as a liberal has also challenged Ocasio-Cortez tweet,
Im not a shrieking republican. I am a left of centre member of the canadian liberal party. And I find your use of the phrase “concentration camp” utterly baffling. In my opinion it is inappropriate and detracts from otherwise legitimate criticism of what is going on

And I dont give a flying shit what “historically” ivory tower academics called it, today it is firmly associated with the Holocaust and the Nazi extermination of the Jews.The far left is so hell bent on labeling everything in the worst terms possible they lose sight of the debate
