Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez: Economic Migrants Who Turned Down Offers of Asylum From Multiple Countries to Rush the US Border and Throw Rocks and Border Patrol Agents are Just Like the Jews Fleeing Nazi Germany

Lunacy.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the star Democratic congresswoman-elect from New York, compared migrant caravan members who clashed over the weekend with U.S. border agents to Jewish families fleeing Nazi Germany and other targets of genocide.

Ocasio-Cortez, who was elected to represent New York's 14th Congressional District earlier this month, tweeted over the weekend in support of those attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. She compared those fleeing violence in Central America to those who escaped Germany, Rwanda and Syria.

"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," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted late Sunday.

Candace Owens had a piquant tweet about this that garnered some attention so I guess it's time for Ben Shapiro to try to deplatform his competition again.
