As Twitchy reported earlier Tuesday, the Washington Post had done a piece on the first migrant facility for children opening under President Biden. We wondered what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was going to say about the migrant facilities, which are modified shipping containers with cage-like features.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that it wasn’t OK — it’s never OK — but she stopped short of calling the migrant facilities “concentration camps,” which is odd, seeing how she was trying to prove it didn’t matter under what administration or party it was happening.
This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay – no matter the administration or party. https://t.co/AEV7s7QQnB

A lot of people are telling AOC to actually read the article to learn that the cages — um, migrant overflow facilities — really aren’t that bad, at least to the DNC transcriptionists at the Post.
Little bit more subdued response than flying to the border to scream through a chainlink fence. https://t.co/eYmTNFKuF3

She typed in a strongly worded email. https://t.co/WW45iDsACO

Notice how she avoids mentioning how this is the second time Biden has been involved in dreaded kids in cages horror story. https://t.co/urboYxXst1

Looking forward to the next photo shoot of you crying next to a fence about it. https://t.co/etwCcI6lLg

Sure, she may want kids vulnerable to traffickers, but at least she’s consistent.
Gotta give her credit for that much. https://t.co/VsgOs2FSgw

Apparently this problem doesn't have the same social media star power as raising money in Texas. Instead we will just point out the problem. https://t.co/vG4ioxWKwe

I'm sorry…I won't believe you're serious until you're down there weeping and calling Biden "literally Hitler" for running "concentration camps" https://t.co/0qzimDVGFd

This is all she has to say about concentration camps?

Strange. I just scrolled through AOC’s timeline and not once does she mention Biden’s concentration camps.

Out: concentration camps, evil, fascist
In: not ok

They are shelters now. It's fine.

Only took a month for her to notice. Actually better than I'd have thought. https://t.co/Dv3pEK1Zer

What a lame response to Joe Biden putting kids in cages after you staged a publicity stunt outside an empty parking lot to make President Trump look bad.https://t.co/70OqsZLVA0
— Cassandra (@CassyWearsHeels) February 23, 2021
As we said above, a lot of Democrats are not happy with AOC for not reading the Washington Post’s article, which makes the cages sound their best, or flying down there and inspecting the facilities herself to see just how much they’ve improved in a month.
