Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made the misstep of a lifetime by comparing border facilities to detention camps last week.
After refusing to back down from her comments, two Holocaust survivors were featured in a very moving video to call out the freshman congresswoman for the error of her ways….
.@AOC claims America runs Concentration camps.
We spoke to the experts.
David and Sami survived the Holocaust.
They were beaten and starved.
They watched their loved ones die.
Sami was experimented on.
David still has his numbers from Auschwitz.@AOC — listen for once. pic.twitter.com/w8Dk14m3x6

In-Party Criticism
While some of the New Breed have come forward to support AOC, most Democrats realize this is a fire burning out of control and they do not want to get burned.
New York Mayor and presidential candidate Bill de Blasio was among those with words of criticism for AOC.
Mayor de Blasio stated, “I respect her greatly and I feel very close to her in terms of philosophy, but of course she was wrong.
“You cannot compare — what the Nazis did in concentration camps, unfortunately, is without any historical — I mean, it’s a horrible moment in history.
“There is no way to compare.”
Listening to the Victims
AOC can justify her comments all she wants, but she is not the one that lived through this.
As bad as some of the conditions are at the border, these conditions are being brought on by overwhelming numbers.
Those agents and staff are there to help and aid these immigrants, even though they are breaking the law.
That was far from the case with Nazis and their plans for the Jews.
Her words have hit a nerve with the Jewish community, and it will be hard to undo the damage.
There is nothing more powerful than hearing a survivor tell his or her story to realize just how far off AOC was with her comments as well as those that have supported her and backed her up on her claims.
David Tuck stated, “Out of every 10 Jews, nine were killed.
“I was lucky.
“I still have the number on my arm.
“Nobody can deny that the Holocaust ever happened to me.”
AOC, you would be well-served to apologize and move on.
There simply is no other choice because anything you say at this point will only make matters worse.
