Yesterday, Twitchy covered Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trying to compare the so-called asylum seekers who threw rocks at border agents to Jewish families fleeing Germany. Yeah, we made that same face which is why we HAD to write about it.
See for yourself.
Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime.
It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.
It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda.
It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria.
And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. https://t.co/qhv7Rr1itn— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) November 25, 2018
Seems we weren’t the only ones to take notice of Alexandria’s tweet because Lindsey Graham had a friendly suggestion for her:
I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC.
Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana. https://t.co/05vCexiClE

OUCH.
Ya’ think? Note, there is NEVER EVER EVER NEVER a situation that you can compare to the Holocaust that will not disrespect the tragedy so just don’t do it. DON’T. Full stop. Put the Twitter down. Go crochet something.
Alexandria was a bit perturbed with Graham over his suggestion:
.@LindseyGrahamSC, the point of such a treasured museum is to bring its lessons to present day.
This administration has jailed children and violated human rights. Perhaps we should stop pretending that authoritarianism + violence is a historical event instead of a growing force. https://t.co/aGJMrPTqNT

Oh honey, no. Treasured museum? And STOP IT, this administration has not jailed children … FFS.
And she wonders why we make fun of her.
She wasn’t done making a fool of herself, sadly.
While we’re recommending museums @LindseyGrahamSC, I heard your “joke” about ethnic DNA preferences last month.
Perhaps you would enjoy a visit (or revisit) to the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture (@NMAAHC). It’s a great educational experience.

*sigh*
Was this her passive-aggressive way of playing the race card because it sure reads that way.
Cortez has a craze for notoriety –again she is wrong -"This administration has jailed children and violated human rights-she needs to go live in Venezuela– How Socialism Failed Venezuela -how she will fail the American people –I will give one term in office –

The previous administration put children in cages, fired pepper spray and tear gas at the border, looked the other while Assad gassed his own citizens, and provided the ability for Iran to spread its evil ideology in the region. Did you accuse them or such things?

Don’t be silly.
Not like the last administration, right? https://t.co/qTOaThhW8L

I didn't like people coming after you for minor slip-ups, but this tweet makes it clear that you do, in fact, lack the knowledge and temperament to be a leader on a national level. Embarrassing. Out of your league.
