Just when you think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex can’t get any dumber or more awful.
AOC compares border crisis to the Holocaust https://t.co/LZzp8LwyLg

We’ve said it before we’ll say it again, she’s GOT to be trolling.
From The Daily Mail:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed ‘fascist’ Donald Trump’s immigration policy, saying his administration is operating ‘concentration camps on our southern border.’
The Democratic Representative for New York’s 14th congressional district streamed a live Q&A with her Instagram followers on Monday, in which she doubled down on her criticism of the government’s crackdown on asylum seekers and migrants.
‘That is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps,’ Ocasio-Cortez said during the live-stream.
Sweet baby corn.
Watch for yourself.
Can someone PLEASE get @AOC a history book, so she can learn what the concentration camps were like? Comparing our border’s centers to camps where millions were GASSED TO DEATH is reckless and utterly false pic.twitter.com/g3I9BkLdWq

That she was actually elected says so much about Democrats, and ain’t none of it good.
DISGUSTING!
My grandparents were gassed to death in concentration camps by the Nazis, millions of Jews, men, women & children were gassed to death then burned to ashes in those camps. @AOC comparing ICE detention centers to that is absolutely disgusting pic.twitter.com/yJXYJ718wM

She was clearly still upset with Trump for using her own words against her earlier in the day.
Eddie Zipperer wrote a pretty epic thread about how stupid AOC’s claim really is.
.@AOC: "This week immigrant children were moved to the same internment camps where the Japanese were held."
Please read this thread on how stupid that is… https://t.co/36urT4ClmD

In 2014, the Obama administration used Ft. Sill to deal with the influx of unaccompanied children crossing the border. It was literally the EXACT same thing that is happening now. They have to house the children until they find sponsors in the country to take them in…

But in 2014, the media framed the situation as Obama can't get the Republicans in Congress to do their job. ZERO outlets were reporting that Ft. Sill was once used as a Japanese internment camp because that is irrelevant context…
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
That fact is only being jammed into headlines now in order to make the Ft. Sill barracks sound scary and to make it sound like Trump is evil. That's the product that the MSM sells all day long: Orange man bad…

The Hill (2014): "Fort Still was one of three facilities set up last month to house the huge influx of unaccompanied minors crossing over the Texas-Mexico border"
The Hill (2019): "JUST IN: Trump administration to send migrant children to former Japanese internment camp: report"
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
WaPo (2014): "GOP lawmakers have questioned the administration’s decision to house thousands of the unaccompanied children at military bases."
WaPo (2019): "Geronimo and the Japanese were imprisoned there. Now Fort Sill will hold migrant children once again."
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
TIME (2014): "Obama Urges Congress to Approve $4 Billion in Funds for Immigration Crisis"
TIME (2019): “Trump Administration to hold migrant children at base that served as Japanese internment camp”
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
So, Ari Melber on MSNBC picks up the Time story that Trump is jamming kids in Japanese internment camps and does a segment on it. The segment uses this image with the TIME headline superimposed over a very scary looking internment camp… pic.twitter.com/8evwgO8Z3h

Cher tweets this unhinged take on it because even though she didn't hear about it in 2014, now it's the end of democracy…https://t.co/DGe6EI27Kl
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
All this ultra-hyperbolic MSM headlines are used by Democrats to score points for their "Trump is the end of Democracy" narrative…https://t.co/SBq3PwiIvX
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
This all leads to @AOC having to have the MOST insanely hyperbolic take comparing Ft. Sill, a military base- the kind of military base where our soldiers live all over this country- to Nazi death camps…
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
Now many of her millions of followers will repeat this lie and make stupid people hysterical. I can see why there are people who agree with Donald Trump's "enemy of the people" statement…
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
The MSM seems to be willing to damage the country in a lasting way in order to get more clicks on their wildly hyperbolic headlines. This is a total disgrace, and it's the reason that a big portion of the country feels animosity toward the MSM. They are doing their job poorly.
— Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) June 18, 2019
The media cares more about creating a narrative to hurt Trump while pushing the Democrats’ agenda than anything else.
Otherwise, they’d be the ones making fun of her this morning instead of us.
Such is the MSM.
