Washington Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused President Donald Trump's administration of running"concentration camps" in its detention of migrants at the southern border.
Conservatives quickly slammed the New York Democrat for her use of the term, which is most commonly associated with Nazi death camps during the Holocaust."The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are -- they are concentration camps," Ocasio-Cortez told an Instagram Live audience Monday evening."And if that doesn't bother you ...
AOC AOC NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE LIKE OMAR AND TLIAB AS THEY R DETRIMENTAL TO OUR NATION!
AOC God is perfect love and omnipresent by grace in all Creation and where sin did abound there did grace the more so. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, everyone gets grace. Do then turn grace into licentiousness and call good bad and bad good or white black and black white.
MommaBear13112 AOC & that’s why she’s such a badass 👏🏽😁
AOC A terrible interview.Jake Tapper called her hand several times and used her own statements against what she said before and what she is saying now. She stated 50% of her district is Latino and she wanted to sustain that. Gaslighting with using Concentration camps. She is shallow
AOC Democrats Any Democrat politicians talked to an angelmom? No? Didn't think so.
AOC Lol. I love it that little Cortez is mad.
AOC Reservations are Concentration camps still exist in America.
AOC Hahahahahahahahahahaha
AOC It all makes sense now.
AOC MORE HORSEHIT
AOC Build a GIANT CAMP where you can shelter & feed all asylum seekers until court date. Build a building in the camp to put offices for immigration judge. senatemajldr SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi GOPLeader RepRossSpano
AOC WARNING: FOLLOWING MAY PROVE DISTRESSFUL FOR SOME. Seriously though, whenever I think of AOC I think doidedoidee...Can I have a large milkshake with that
AOC
AOC Good Lord that woman is stupid.
AOC We are already spending over $700/day/person to torcher them... More $$$ is not the solution....
AOC Isn't she one of the reasons the border got so bad and these people are suffering?
AOC It’s not a comparison. They are literally concentration camps.
AOC You’re not going to point out that her photos were staged? You’re just going to pretend this moron wasn’t crying at a parking lot?
AOC The House Dems have no interest in resolving the border crisis. None!!
AOC Never heard of people TRYING to get into concentration camps....
AOC She’s stupid though.
AOC She really is dumb as a rock. Not as dumb as the the people that elected her though.
AOC
AOC Bernie lover agenda....
AOC You have a problem with every solution
JCRCNY
Definitely trying to smear Bernie with this clip here
PSA_Sitch Tribe mentality turns people into idiots
Where you there Bernie? You have no idea what it looks like or what they are doing. DHS asked for help for more beds and the Dems refused to give it these children are shown on camera on another channel and being fed, housed, educated, and given health care.Go there and then talk
BernieSanders they're concentration camps. Please refer to them as such
No Bernie. They are ConcentrationCamps
Bernie you are part of Congress for years. How come you have not gotten this comprehensive immigration bill you speak of moving Don’t tell me your like Chuck and Nancy? All talk and no walk.
SenSanders come on man, they are literally concentration camps, up your rhetoric
Why not Bernie? That’s what they are!
They are camps BernieSanders. They do not suddenly become camps after the first systemic killings begin. The Nazis had concentration camps 6 years before death camps. Never Again means literally nothing if it has to happen again before we can call it out.
JCRCNY I am glad to see Bernie distancing himself from her ignorance. He is not responsible for the garbage that comes out of her mouth.
I'm with AOC on this one Senator.
The important part of all this is not that children are locked up in camps, but the semantics in discussing said camps.
Well there went those two steps forward
What a coward.
JCRCNY And why not? It certainly applies.
JCRCNY Ask Rabbi Jill what she thinks. Ask her what happens to her when she speaks her mind about separating families and putting refugees in inhumane detention facilities, which we're not allowed to call 'concentration camps,'
who afford this camp? why mexico not build it in mexico area?
so here the issue is human rights but CNN will deviate it to a discussion on the meaning of concentration camps...
Trump will be back in before Congress works out they have to impeach.
JCRCNY It can be called many names. That is not the issue. What a good opportunity to further divide voters. Reminder: human rights is the issue. BernieSanders AOC
Those are concentrations camps!!!!! This is a raping humans rights that people have to move freely around the planet earth!!!!!!!!
Wait, so why is the reporter trying to put words into his mouth? AOC called them concentration camps, so interview her about it. Why must Bernie agree or disagree with AOC about it? Is she trying to trap him into something? What's the point of the question?
You should remember history better than most. Your father fled in the nick of time. His family died. You know what concentration camps are. You know what they lead to. Say it!
Yes, the holocaust was different as the Jewish people were burned alive in the crematoriums. But why is she getting into semantics as opposed to discussing the horrific conditions the children are being subjected to. That should be the issue discussed, not who said what🧐
he should
USSR Bernie Sanders may not have used the word of his big fan RepAOC, concentration camps. But he did DEFEND Fidel Castro for his persecution & pogroms against Cubans. He also hesitates to call out Maduro for his atrocities.
Concentration camps pre-dated the Germans (conceived by the British during the Boer War) and are not defined as forced-labor or extermination camps.
She only makes $174,000 a year & wants a raise, she needs to do something irrelevant or not ... we need to get rid of her that’s money thrown in the garbage
She cann pay for it out of her own pocket book. We are sick of paying
the are free to walk out of the facility and go back across the border. ANYTIME.
Never Bernie. You and your supporters are responsible for Trump being in office. If this man wins the Dem contest i will vote for any 3rd party candidate.
AOC is an idiot. Over the top calling them concentration camps.
they’re concentration camps, BernieSanders. buck up.
Criticism with absolutely zero alternative plan is total b/s
Coward. Say it. You know you want to. Meanwhile, democrats REFUSE to give a dime to help the people at the border because that would help Trump fix a problem. Racist democrats use minorities to gain power. Even when it means their deaths.
whatever we call them they HAVE TO STOP. If we are going to argue about what we call them will we EVER stop them?
⛔ The ACLU today (12/16/12) filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit challenging the Obama administration's policy of locking up asylum-seeking mothers & children to intimidate others from coming to the US BuildThatWall MAGA FourMoreYears Trump2020
Maybe you should
Of course he going to get reelected look at all the press you guys give him, that's one reason he won last time, a camera always in front of him so he can lie and say outrages comments that you spend the rest of night discussing, sad for America.
That's crazy. The US is not rounding em up. They're breaking the border
What’s her solution on housing the 100k plus/month who are crossing the border?
which conservatives? Or shall they go nameless?
She needs to read some history books. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
The Bern + CNN = HIGH TAXES x lying news + communism
Trump and Pence 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁
The semantics is unimportant. RepAOC is just (clumsily) trying to conjur up a moral equivalence between the Nazis & Trump Administration. Fact: the difference is that these detainees have come here voluntarily en masse to deliberately flout and overwhelm our immigration system.
TrumpOrlandoRally TrumpRallyOrlando TrumpPence2020
You are worried about homeless people living in the streets
Notice they say 'concentration camps' but not 'Gulags' created by Lenin & copied by Nazionale Socialists a decade later?
They should call them “no collusion camps” because that is all the President can concentrate on.
CNN trying to smear progressives as usual. Then they'll cry when radical centrist Biden will lose to Trump!
Perhaps you did.
Shitebag
Jewish person called ....highly offended.....
Well, she is correct, she will not sanitise what is going on and people don't like the truth shoved in their faces. What the Trump mobsters are doing is so wrong and she is calling them out. Good for her.
CNN, how do you define a concentration camp? I define it as a concentration of an ethnic group and essentially imprisoning them, similar to how the Nazis rounded up the Jews, similar to how the US rounded up the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. AOC describes these camps equally.
When you deceptively separate a parent from his four month old infant (five months so far) that’s a trauma that never heals😡😡😡
Dumber than a box of rocks, but a cnn hero
Conservatives of the day cannot deal in truth. Lies allows them to sleep better at night.
She uses that language because she is a firebrand. Nobody is being herded in gas chambers or into ovens. I agree that the migrant situation need to be better handled but these facilities have existed for decades. Obama had them, so did Clinton. So yeah she’s throwing bombs.
What does this globalization agenda woman want them to run free like wild animals?
It is improper. Internment is more appropriate.
Good God she's an imbicile. Dems can't sell their view unless they go hyperbolic. Is it possible that AOC doesn't understand being striped bare, a number tattooed on her flesh, cut her hair, being starved, forced to shovel human remains from ovens, then be forced into an oven?
Why is this broad still in office? Dumb as bricks and dangerous as crack w stupid crap she says
Same premise.
Shouldn't liberal say something as well?
Didn’t Obama start this?
She is absolutely right.
They are ConcentrationCamps TrumpCamps FamilySeparation this is how it starts
Aoc lowkey bad
Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t realize the impact that statement has on those of us who had family members who died or survived concentration camps during WW II.
The Honorable AOC was spot on with this accessment. Of course Conservatives are hollowing their form of righteous indignation. Didn’t Bush open up Cuba for what they perceived as terrorists? No trials, separating young kids from their parents, overcrowded conditions? GOP bull
Decent Democrats, the few that are left, slammed her also
Is the term synonymous with “prison”? 🤔 Should we protest prisons too then 🤷🏼♀️ RealQuestion
If you have concentration camps then one has work and death camps, where are they.. AOC?
She is an idiot of epic proportions.
Our borders have to be secured. We have a massive influx of migrants. We have to detain them. Very disappointed in you that you support get ignorant rhetoric. Birds of a feather
And no journalist set her straight!! Fake news!!
This representative just showed how uneducated she is. There is no comparison. She’s a dope. Then she tried to wiggle her way out of her ridiculous comments. What a loser.
And what would AOC call the mass detentions in the regimes she and her cronies support such as for example...Venezuela? Iran? Russia? Cuba?...🤔
They are day care centers not concentration camp, like water boarding is enhanced tactics to question prisioners
NBCLatino Nice!AOC making comparising of the extermination of Jews with housing of the illegals. Only a liberal Democrat.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....
In which it is!
People need to relax on this subject. It is a primary reason for polarization in this country. It is not the “haves” who care so much. It is the “have nots” who want the same benefits as so many immigrants receive. Simple as that.
That's exactly what they are, internment prison camps. Kinda like the Nazi’s, but different. MAGA Trump America 🇺🇸 is asleep behind the wheel and Congress is powerless.
Where was this Faux Outrage before the 2016 election? AOC gets off on being edgy and bold. Not many Democrats are standing up for her use of that term.
“Conservatives slammed?” Must be today’s Dem/media catch phrase. If AOC would bother to learn history and choose her words wisely vs. going straight for the attempted political score, she might not get “slammed.”
Jews condemned.
So why is it that Trump doesn’t ha e to watch what he saids or the use of words, but we do?
Conservatives pounce
Disgusting behavior for a Congress Woman.
Ocacio the clown of the demorats party
Mindless and tactless statement.
And she is a member of the party bends over for!!
We are but a vapor in the schemes of time .... all this nonsense ....Gain , money, politics .... All I have to say ' You can't take it with you ' Jesus Christ Saves forever
And yet she kept her mouth shut while Obama was putting them in concentration camps.

What do you want it to be called. Let me think 🤔 ok for example KKK = Nationalist, NEONAZI = Primordialist? That sounds like a correct response.
Her hero, Franklin Roosevelt, was the only president to run concentration camps.
I've never in my life listened to a woman so stupid....she is truly ignorant
and lets not forget you hailed Avenetti so aoc was never far behind
Simple---don't want to be put in a 'concentration camp' then DON'T COME TO THE US!! Stay in YOUR own country!!
She is right!! What do you call it? Resort These people being held against will. Why not hire buses and send them back. Don’t separate the children from their families and throw them in cages :(. We as humans lost humanity. Very sad indeed :(.
well it is aoc and well you know she does lack in the intelligence dept
So where were they held before Trump?
Someone needs a field trip to Poland.
Nice neutral reporting.
Thank goodness for AOC AOC
Why is she still in the office
“Conservatives” are wrong and I have to disagree with your use of the term. Supporting cruelty, filling prisons and camps with the powerless, subverting and ignoring laws to support their own power—there’s nothing “conservative” about that.
What a fruit loop......
Does anyone take her seriously. She either not very intelligent or she never studied History.
Can’t fix stupid
Let me correct this for you. Republicans INCORRECTLY slammed…..
RickiMayhall Hmmm....human beings concentrated in camps under sub-human conditions? Sounds like concentration camps to me.
RepAOC is not the sharpest knife in the drawer - the crisis at the border was created by the do nothing democrats - hell even Mexico is attempting to help Trump
R o y a l - icebluemusic Prod. producer_mykah Art- studioratbeatz Jam coming soon! . . . . 069 2019 icebluemusic bushhousemusic wheremusiclives
She’s absolutely accurate
Im sorry, the comparison is pure ignorance (whether intentional or by nature I honestly don't know) either way, CNN know what it is doing, even if the Congresswoman does not! SAD
You little girl and your little friends too are speaking wayyyyy out of your knowledges and experience range. For once I wish you guys would just shut up and try to learn first!! I don’t see how you ever stay or get in office again otherwise.
It is EXACTLY how Nazi concentration camps STARTED. AOC is RIGHT.
She likes to talk, but she has no responsible solutions.. not worth listening to..
So what is her solution then? Are we to just open our borders? Let illegals into our country with no vetting? Please. If you criticize the current policy, please provide a sustainable solution.
That girl is a dimwit😂 She needs more education and life experience to gain wisdom. She makes herself look so bad.😂
It is what it is! Close enough
Last I recall folks didn't CHOOSE to go into concentration camps, they were forced at gunpoint. Immigrants are coming here of their own free will and they are very much treated humanely given the vast numbers and limited infrastructure. There's a big difference.
She is accurate.
Conservatives POUNCE! 😂
The international community has already called them concentration camps
RepAOC I'm sure that the thousands of people working at the border that are doing the best they can during this HUMANITARIAN CRISIS don't appreciate your stupidity. Open borders to millions of unvetted immigrants is economic suicide.Americans deserve better.
She is totally ignorant......history book my dear, try reading one.
She is telling the truth!!
Think before you choose your words little one, or else you are just like Donald Trump
She is right. Anyone that disagrees, when your kids get out of school for the year, send them their for camp.
No way- too many coming at one time- country was not prepared for so many- no country could handle that amount of people at one times.
Germany hid their concentration camps too. They called them work camps. Wake up America!
Then as a congresswoman intro a bill that allows border Patrol to send them back when caught. Current law says they have to go through a process. Change it
It's quite obvious that she doesn't know much about history.
Well were they not concentration camps under Obama? Nothing has changed they are the same facilities only more crowded thanks to the do nothing Democraps on immigration reform and border security talk about biased and misinformed RepAOC
They are concentration camps
realDonaldTrump didn't start it & DonaldTrump is not running them. Matter of fact Trump has made much effort to do something about the heinous conditions & disorder under the BarackObama administration & changed a lot of it. But you didn't care then racist OcasioCortez CNN.
She's absolutely right about what Trump is running. And he know it
Where's the lie though?
She is correct.
They are concentration camp . Unfortunately, conservative believe and support the concentration camp. They are angry at the truth , who does that sounds like, the angry complainer are baby boys crying 😢,
I'm willing to bet that she has never visited one of the detention centers. She is careless with her tongue. She is wild with unfounded accusations.
Well, that’s a bit hyperbolic...and inappropriate.
It’s telling that this is what conservatives are upset about.
GOP If they are not Concentration Camps then what are they?
This is ridiculous. Dems caused this crisis. That fact can be traced all the way back to the Flores Settlement. They are complaining about how this administration is handling a crisis that Dems caused and that Dems refuse to fix. If it's so objectionable, THEN FIX IT DEMS!
I’ll take the advice of this expert.
She's right
They are concentration camps.
Has this idiot ever been to the border? she is real quick to point & make as much confusion as possible that's what she wants she would not no the truth if it bit her on the butt
They slam her for everything. Were they correct to do that? It's your job to report.
What were they when Obama opened them?
AOC only talks about stuff. Has not drafted a bill on anything. Thats her MO be CPT Obvious, but never work to resolve. AOC your not at a bar providing thoughts. Your a well paid elected official work to solve problems. Then tell me you actually accomplished something.
Americans u have lost the plot. We have the same debate in Aus. Once refugees from violence in Central America bypass a safe haven in Mexico, they become economic migrants jumping the queue.
Little girl from Queens disregaurds History, and the Fools on the left in there blind hate , defend it.
So should you cnn. Terrible

addenda: the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education is siding with AOC
Please send your best reporter to the border to report the inhumane treatmenys in these concentration camps. Expect the report on web and tv this week.
I’m not a fan of either of these two, but that’s exactly what they are, concentration camps!!!
Look back at Obama and the border he’s the one who set up these camps for illegals!and said we would never accept illegals comin in The demos are hipocrites cause they all said the same as Obama now there changing views to spite trump and make him look bad! Stop hate legislate
1 AOC is from NY, that says it all. 2 She has enough AIR flowing through her head to keep a complete fleet of jets flying. 3 She's a Socialist, the number one love of her life is OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY! She wanted the $4500 pay raise to but new dancing shoes 💃💃💃💃💃
she speaks the truth
So it's not a prison , it's not a detention center, nor concentration camp. What are they?
What’s AOC address ? We will send them all over.
This woman is clueless
She is just devaluing the term just like liberals have done with the term racist. If everything is the worst thing in the world, then nothing is.
aoc comments are so outrageous it's absurd, we have to separate some children from the adults we do not know if they are their parents, concentration camps just shows how ignorant aoc really is about facts, sorry we just can't have all Spanish speaking illegals enter America
Those camps do have some elements of a concentration camp.
But not CNN, anything remotely tarnishing realDonaldTrump is good for this 'network'. RepAOC insulted the memory of those who parished in concentration camps without breaking any laws, just for being Jewish or anti fascism. Illegals are treated humanly at our expense, big diff
Low IQ AOC ocasio-cortez and her useless economics degree from Boston university BU_Tweets
To people who suffered just to get to the US & then have themselves & children incarcerated with out committing a crime except wanting the same freedom our forefathers received, IT'S UN-AMERICAN. Trump & Miller should be in a cage.
I didn’t know concentration camps have air conditioning, free food, tv, video games and free healthcare!
