Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Compares Migrant Caravan To Jews Fleeing The Holocaust
2018-11-26
[Daily Caller] New York Democratic Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday compared members of the migrant caravan attempting to enter the United States to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Members of the caravan on Sunday rushed the border at the San Ysidro port of entry, which connects Tijuana, Mexico and San Diego, California.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol closed the port of entry in response and reportedly used tear gas to disperse the crowd of migrants.

Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to denounce the treatment of the caravan members.

#13  I am sure the Jews have something to say about this low IQ statement.

#12  ...and then there was Alaska.

"The plan was dealt a severe blow when President Franklin D. Roosevelt* told Ickes that he insisted on limiting the number of refugees to 10,000 a year for five years, and with a further restriction that Jews not make up more than 10% of the refugees."

#11  Of course, Dem hero FDR allowed very few Jews to enter the US during WWII. Forgotten by Libs today.

#9  Is there any way we can get Mistress Overbite her own TV show? Her words of wisdom should be spread throughout the land, so that we can all decide for ourselves how much ammunition to buy.

#7  Didn't the US turn away a ship full of Jews in the Second World War? Perhaps AOC is suggesting they be turned away?

#6  So the jews are fleeing to Hitler/Trump's protection?

Is she asking for the US to invade and remove these Hitlerish latin American dictatorships from power?

It would be nice if our media asked a logical follow-up question or two.

#4  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Compares Migrant Caravan To Jews Fleeing The Holocaust

Given the blatant antisemitism in her part of the political spectrum, if she believes what she says you'd think she'd tell them to go home.

#3  I think laughing at Ocassional Cortex is the best response.

No-one is this stupid without trying.

#2  Ocasio-Cortez is little more than a symptom of the problem. The real problem are the people who voted her into office.

#1  Alexandria's day.
Morning: compare Trump to Hitler.

Afternoon: Compare illegal emigrants to USA to Jews fleeing Nazism.

Evening: Compare Zionism to Nazism.
