Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently broke the internet with the dumbest take in the history of the world. She compared angry, rock-throwing migrants to Jews seeking refuge from the Holocaust.
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— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) November 25, 2018
It doesn’t get much more idiotic than that.
Oh wait. Yes it does.
You see, Lindsey Graham stepped in and set her straight…
I recommend she take a tour of the Holocaust Museum in DC.
Might help her better understand the differences between the Holocaust and the caravan in Tijuana. https://t.co/05vCexiClE

…and she responded with this gem:
.@LindseyGrahamSC, the point of such a treasured museum is to bring its lessons to present day.
This administration has jailed children and violated human rights. Perhaps we should stop pretending that authoritarianism + violence is a historical event instead of a growing force. https://t.co/aGJMrPTqNT

She doubled down is now implying that the Trump administration is just as bad as Nazi Germany FOR REAL. Can you even deal?
PS– Alexandria. Those “desperate” migrants who YOU say are just as deserving as people escaping genocide literally use women and children as human shields. Just thought you’d like to be briefed on that.
