Imagine that. Anti-semite Ilhan Omar from Minnesota likes the fact that Ocasio-Cortez is calling ICE detention centers “concentration camps.” It’s not a surprise of course. With Omar’s transparent hatred of the Jewish people, she figures that downplaying the meaning of concentration camps is a good thing. Anything to defend a fellow socialist and anti-Semite.

Your congressional colleague Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting a lot of heat, being called anti-Semitic by some, after she called migrant facilities “concentration camps.” Do you agree with her description?
When you look at what is taking place, people are being put in camps. And when you think about the definition, if we separate it from death camps, I would say these are camps and people are being concentrated in them. And so that’s the general definition. I think a lot of people are conflating what a death camp looks like or a specific removal of people. These people are coming to the border. We are removing them from the border. We are placing them in camps. Some of them are being removed from communities and being put in what we’re calling detention centers — but are essentially camps. There has to be a way for us to have this conversation without calling people names and accusing them of things when they are just having a general honest conversation on how detrimental this is.
