'I don't use those words lightly': AOC compares US southern border to the Holocaust

2019-06-19

Yet another way this queen bee offends me.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria <q>Boom Boom</q> Ocasio-Cortez

Dem represntative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details...
accused U.S. immigration officials of running "concentration camps" on the U.S. southern border.

Ocasio-Cortez spoke to her followers on Instagram in another one of her live, unscripted videos on Monday evening. The New York Democrat said current U.S. immigration policy rivals the Nazi’s treatment of Jews and other prisoners in World War II.

"The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps," Ocasio-Cortez said.

"I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity that 'Never Again' means something," Ocasio-Cortez continued, referencing the slogan adopted after the Holocaust. "The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it."

"This is a crisis on if American will remain America ... Or if we are losing to an authoritarian and fascist
...anybody who's not a leftist...
presidency," Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to President Trump. "I don’t use those words lightly. I don’t use those words to just throw bombs. I use that word because that is what an administration that creates concentration camps is."

#5 'I don't use those words lightly'

Deep thoughts from AOC.

Other deep thoughts from AOC:

'When you close the refrigerator door, does the light turn off? How do you know?'

'Cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny.'

'If a #2 pencil is so popular, why isn't it #1?'

'Should I worry about a false flag starting a war, or what caused the war in the first place?'

#4 #3 Ideally, some reporter would ask AOC if she has ever visited a WW II death

I wonder if she has ever visited the U.S.-Mexico border.

#3 Ideally, some reporter would ask AOC if she has ever visited a WW II death camp and follow up with a few questions about that time that I'm sure she could not answer. Realistically, nothing like that will ever happen.

#2 'I don't use those words lightly'

Here’s an excerpt from the novel which describes Ellochka the Cannibal:

[A]ccording to researchers’ calculations, William Shakespeare ’s lexicon comprises twelve thousand words. The lexicon of a Negro from the cannibalistic tribe Mumbo-Jumbo comprises three hundred words. Ellochka Shchukina got by easily and freely with thirty.

Here are the words, phrases, and interjections she judiciously chose out of the entire great, powerful, word-rich Russian language:

So rude.
Ho-ho! (This expresses, depending on the circumstances: irony, amazement, rapture, hatred, joy, disdain, and satisfaction .)
Outstanding.
Dismal. (Said about everything. For example: “dismal Petya came over,” “dismal weather,” “a dismal occasion,” “a dismal tomcat,” and so forth.)
Appalling.
Horror. (Horrible. For example, on running into a dear friend: “a horrible meeting.”)
Little fellow. (Said about all men of her acquaintance, regardless of age or social standing.)
Don’t teach me how to live.
Like . . . a baby. (“It was like taking candy from a baby,” said about a card game. “I smacked him like a baby’s bottom,” said, evidently, during a conversation with the responsible lessee.)
Be-e-e-yootiful!
Fat and handsome. (Used to characterize animate and inanimate objects.)
Let’s take a horse-cab. (Said to her husband.)
Let’s take a taxi-waxi. (To male acquaintances.)
Your back is all white. (A joke.)
Just think.
Ulya. (An affectionate ending for names. For example: Mishulya, Zinulya.)
Oho! (Irony, amazement, rapture, hatred, joy, disdain, and satisfaction.)
The extremely insignificant number of remaining words served as communicative links between Ellochka and salesclerks .

#1 This imbecile and her horrifically ignorant constituency are a pox on this nation. The media cover she is afforded is an absolute disgrace.
