First things first: we have to give props to NBC News’ Chuck Todd, who surprisingly turned out to be one of the few journalists who didn’t instinctively provide cover for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez after she accused the Trump administration of running concentration camps at the border.
Ocasio-Cortez's comparison of ICE detentions to concentration camps did border detainees "a tremendous disservice" #MTPDaily
"She said she didn't use those words lightly," Chuck Todd said. "Well, neither did I." pic.twitter.com/5CIOfWn7BQ

Serious props to Chuck Todd. This is how every journalist and rational person should have reacted to AOC’s comments. https://t.co/k0KA1ENL7X

Much props to him. The far left is going to absolutely DESTROY him for this, so this took a lot of courage. I may have to start following him again.

Man, stay away from the tweet commentary though.

Well let's see, she's got a couple options:
-White male lectures minority
-She can double down and attack journalists
-She can apologize
-She can keep quiet and other journalists will recklessly keep defending her— Junior (@Jxnyor) June 20, 2019
Which will it be? You know we can cross options 4 and 5 right off the list, so … maybe she’ll respond to someone else’s tweet instead:

This makes no sense – in one breath, Chuck Todd concedes that @AOC herself says she wasn’t referring to Nazi death camps, but in the next breath he condemns her for invoking “Nazi concentration camps” – which she didn’t. As he himself conceded only seconds earlier. Sigh. https://t.co/fkuC9uuvsn

Well, @chucktodd – the fact that you slipped in “Nazi” when I never said that is pretty unfortunate.
Almost as unfortunate as the fact that you spent this whole time w/o discussing DHS freezers, “dog pounds,” missing children, & human rights abuses that uphold use of this term. https://t.co/1eNuW1ZR0f

She’ll never apologize for anything, ever, will she?
Ocasio-Cortez is lying, again
AOC specifically referenced "Never Again" in her Instagram video, which is a direct reference to the Holocaust, which was carried out by Nazis pic.twitter.com/AyMAAWNdcE

But … they had concentration camps in the Boer War!
More attacks on the media by AOC. Democracy dies in the void between her ears.

Now that she is biting the hands that feed her, this is going to get interesting.

This is why Americans cannot trust politicians today. They lie even about what they simply said and then expect Americans to trust them with liberty and freedom!

Cut her some slack… it’s entirely possible she’s just that stupid.

She’s a child that somehow convinced idiots in NY to elect her to congress. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s still a child with no real life experience.

Being an elected official should come with some sort of 'maturity' test, which you would absolutely fail.
Grow up. 🙂

AOC is trying to salvage her career after she found out that her ratings are plummeting.

She is deranged

Let them fight this is great for us. ?

I kind of think she's an undercover Trump supporter. Seriously, name one person who does more to make Trump look good than AOC. Trump says something a bit cringeworthy, then AOC one-ups him times 1,000. She's his perfect foil.

In the future, the history books — if there are history books — will have much to say about the people who did the normalizing. The phenomenon is notable not for its uniqueness to these times but for its similarity to other periods of darkness. The lessons have not been learned.

No, they have not, despite any number of Jewish groups reaching out to educate her.
