Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Compares Rock-Throwing Migrants To Jews Fleeing Nazi Germany

Hey Alexandria. Your stupid is showing again.

Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime.

It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.
It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda.
It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria.
And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. https://t.co/qhv7Rr1itn

If it sounds like she’s comparing angry, entitled migrants– who are throwing rocks at Border Patrol agents– to Jews fleeing the Nazis, it’s because she’s comparing angry, entitled migrants– who are throwing rocks at Border Patrol agents– to Jews fleeing the Nazis.

We’re talking about a group of people– comprised of mostly YOUNG MEN (just ask MSNBC!)– who are waving the flag of their oppressive countries, storming our border and shouting “Yes We Can!”

And you DARE compare them to the men and women who fled ACTUAL OPPRESSION and ACTUAL GENOCIDE? How DARE you, AOC. That’s a new level of ignorance, even for you.

Or you think they’re equal. My entire grandfather’s family was wiped out in the Holocaust. They didn’t leave in the thousands with food and cameras and political support to let them in anywhere. Your ignorance is extremely dangerous at the least, and offensive and cruel at most

Rushing the border and throwing rocks at agents is illegal.

Sweet pea, you need to go back to school.

You are deranged.

There is a huge difference between these migrants and the holocaust.

Mexico has granted them sanctuary.

These people are not fleeing genocide. It’s not even a comparison.
