Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Trump is operating concentration camps, compares the situation to the Holocaust: “The U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are. … ‘Never Again’ means something … we need to do something about it” pic.twitter.com/F2MmZ8y2dT

Via Jewish Journal:
Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action Agenda at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Rabbi Abraham Cooper called Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) comparing immigration detention centers on the border to concentration camps an “insult to victims of the Shoah.”
In a June 17 Instagram live stream, Ocasio-Cortez said that “the United States is running concentration camps on our southern border” and that she wanted to “talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that ‘Never Again’ means something.”
Ocasio-Cortez defended her remarks in tweets on Tuesday stating that “concentration camps are not the same as death camps.”
