“The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border. That is what they are.” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In April 1944, two Slovakian Jews named Alfred Weczler and Rudolf Vrba escaped from Auschwitz, and provided one of the first eyewitness accounts of the horrors of the European concentration camps. Both men had been rounded up with a group of their countrymen and sent to the Birkenau section of the camp in the spring of 1941, where they were immediately put to work as slave labor. This was before the German regime had properly streamlined and industrialized efforts to destroy European Jewry. In the early days of the camp, any man
Went to a friends wedding several years ago. I met the brides Grandmother. While talking with her I saw the number on her forearm. I asked her and yes she was a very young girl who survived Birkenau and Auschwitz! AOC is a moron and a total bag of garbage! She should study what the Nazi's did to people before shooting off her fat dumb mouth! This lady was very gracious and shared her story freely. I was in awe at her struggle and courage!

Ocasio-Cortez is very little more than a useful idiot. Harsanyi's article applies to many others.

The scary thing about this is that antisemitism is alive and well around the world. I fear we may repeat history due the ignorance of generation who are not taught history in school and do not have a clue. How about Stalin who managed to kill in excess of 20,000,000 of his own people, Mao probably over 100,000,000, Pol Pot at least 2,000,000.
What do all these people have in common.? Socialism. I t is disgusting to hear people make these comparisons. They should all be requires to take tour of The Holocost museum in D.C. with a survivor as their guide.

It's not just history that she is ignorant of. Apparently someone is giving her these talking points and she is a parrot. If she is ever engaged in a discussion or debate she folds and claims victimhood.

AOC's ignorance frightens me. The fact there are many who believe and support her terrifies me even more. Our "education" system has undermined our nation's existence more so than any nefarious spy operation could imagine.

FWIW, #7, the committed left, the anarchists targeted and infiltrated our education system over a century ago. An essential part of their long game but certainly not the only institution to be corrupted. They've been very patient but now think they see the finish line and are getting sloppy, as AOC reveals.

She is Leni Reifenstahl, well the puppet of propaganda- she is creating headlines and talking points.. ok AOC is not the brilliance behind the method- she is a lipstick wearing, finger wagging, tip stealing bar maid- who is hired in as a House Of Representatives from NYC.. period. She is however, dangerous.

FDR's internment camps for the Japanese during WW II were actually more like concentration camps. It's funny how the party of slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, and internment camps never uses it's own illustrious history in their talking points.

Mocking AOC is the only kind of attention she deserves and as we observe from her angry reaction, bites her deeply. She will never be qualified to be anything more than a tip-stealing bartender and the voters in her district will hopefully correct their huge mistake. The guy she replaced was a useless trough-feeding democrat but at least he kept his mouth shut.

AOC's audience is other ignorant people like herself. Those, and a few radicals willing to support any lie for the left, are all that support her.

Someone recently divulged that the NYTs --a Jewish-owned paper--buried its knowledge of the Holocaust throughout the war?
How "Democrat" of them.

These socialists with 'pretty faces', minuscule brainpower and big mouths get lots of attention these days. AOC and Don Lemon are two great examples. Thanks to David Harsanyi and others for calling them out; we need you speaking out - loud and clear - on our behalf.

I'm still waiting for leftist Jewish office holders to comment on this.
Where are Schumer, Feinstein, Nadler, Schiff, Engel - - and all their minyans? Why aren't they loudly condemning this trivialization of the massive holocaust murders?
Crickets, anyone?

I never read any article when AOC is in the headline. She is not just ignorant of history, she is an all around ignoramus, which she proves virtually every time she speaks. Why any rational, sane person would be interested in what she says is unfathomable. She even has a college degree in areas which she knows absolutely NOTHING about, which should put B.U. to shame.

She's ruining the reputation of bartenders with her ignorant opinions.
Face it: popularity and glib charisma are poor qualifications for representing voters in Congress, or pouring drinks at the local pub.

This is what we get for allowing the Hippies to take over our education system and teach
our kids. We've lost two entire generations to this Socialist Claptrap!

Well David - one quibble with your article. Yes, it is unfortunate some illegal aliens, including children, have died while in our care at the Border. However, they were a miniscule number of the total that has invaded our Border. We didn't invite these people in, ask them to walk thousands of miles to come here and then revoked the invitation at the Border. They are receiving probably the best health care ever in their lives, at least until they scurry off to some part of the USA to live in the "shadows" getting free health care and free education for their children. We really owe them nothing.
As for the internment of the Japanese, well, if they were Japanese citizens, that's one thing but they were American citizens of Japanese ancestry who were interned and denied due process by a Democrat President. Illegal aliens are getting more due process then our fellow citizens did in World War II.

This bartending strumpet was so full of herself after she won that she wondered out loud 'if Congress knew that she had a degree in economics'?!?!? She did not know that most morons take those courses to while their time away!

Ms. AOC is the perfect example of what happens when we knuckle under to emotional reasoning by either being lazy or wanting to avoid conflict. Her ignorance & illogical thinking has become a political tool for her & the Dems. Our society in general has increasingly accepted soundbites created by over-emotional and irrational thinkers as 'the truth.' Greg Lukianoff (of FIRE) and Jonathan Haidt who wrote "The Coddling of the American Mind" point out how the lack of sound reasoning skills & loss of emotional strength so prevalent today is damaging whole generations. Lukianoff especially realized that his students were thinking pathologically, wedded to 'cognitive distortions' such as catastophizing, using over generalizations & emotional reasoning, magical & negative thinking, jumping to conclusions (w/o evidence), and exaggerating or minimizing the importance of certain events - among other bad thinking habits which can land a person in the psych ward. AOC, her fellow SJW and those people with Bush Derangement Syndrome and now Trump Derangement Syndrome all demonstrate this repudiation of good & healthy logic. This is mental illness by any measure!! Politicians are encouraging the 'we are all going to die unless...' attitude and it is a very effective way to sway the populace onto the paths of socialism.

AOC and her ilk will soon be primaried out as they serve as an embarrassment to their constituents. The trick is to not let these morons close to getting elected in the first place.

Hurts to read about it. Chica is a trained monkey who can't even stick to the script. How many others in Congress are being led by foreigners ? Dippy Debbie's tech people, DiFi and her Chinese driver, Mitch and his in-laws etc. And the House is worried about Russians?
If AOC was a white conservative man, she would be forced to resign. It is up to US to keep calling for the three new House members out.
