For some reason, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is quoting Argentina’s Evita Perón after President Donald Trump allegedly compared her to the Nazi sympathizer in a new book:
“I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.”
– Evita Perón https://t.co/IH7y7C54ip

“I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go.”
– Evita Perón

This is a legitimate, “WTF?” moment:
It takes tremendous arrogance & stunning ignorance to take the #Evita slam as a complimenthttps://t.co/eBBjuJuV9c
You have plenty of both https://t.co/X3lNQB7G1x

Or is AOC just going to ignore it?
I know that chick is a hall-of-fame moron, but holy sh*t I did not expect her to start quoting Nazi sympathizers favorably. I mean damn.

Maybe AOC likes Evita’s asylum policies for displaced Nazis?
According to records now emerging from Swiss archives and the investigations of Nazi hunters, an unpublicized side of Evita’s world tour was coordinating the network for helping Nazis relocate in Argentina.https://t.co/yAfOjf8nRA

Evita Perón “is believed to have kept Nazi treasures taken from wealthy Jewish families killed in concentration camps”
Perón’s husband, President Juan Peron, “helped many Nazis fleeing Europe after the Second World War to find a safe haven in Argentina”https://t.co/w9i1aWY8ny pic.twitter.com/N4EvnKPITx

“CBP detention centers are concentration camps but protectors of Nazi war criminals are good ackshually” is a helluva take TBQH
