Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “concentration camps” remarks have really kicked off an important conversation about the Holocaust. It’s been trending on Twitter all day:
Notice anything?

So very hot. Good thing Twitter doesn’t choose sides, huh?
Semantics is correctly used when it's a mere difference in word-usage, but essentially you're saying the same thing.
In this case, two parties are saying two completely different things.
This isn't a case where semantics is the issue.

This crap goes way beyond “semantics.”
There are no "semantics" when discussing anything related to the Holocaust
Also, there would be no discussion of "semantics" if a Republican said this pic.twitter.com/AywLl9bvo3
