Last week, Liz Cheney schooled Ocasio-Cortez after she absurdly compared border detention centers with concentration camps, and little Sandy fired back, suggesting that Cheney had “co-opted the language of the oppressor” by using the term “extermination camps” (‘Sandy’ seems clearly ignorant of Elie Wiesel’s own reference to Auschwitz as an extermination camp.)
Also @Liz_Cheney, the fact that you employed the horrifying word “exterminated” here (co-opting the language of the oppressor) tells us that it’s *you* that needs to brush up on your reading.
Hope you enjoy defending concentration camps. I won’t back down fighting against them. https://t.co/OOfrrfa1Ew

But now, the entire controversy is the fault of Liz Cheney and the “shrieking Republicans” ?
Ok, got it.
Via The Hill.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hit back at Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in the ongoing battle between the two lawmakers that was ignited after Ocasio-Cortez said last week that the detention centers holding undocumented immigrants were “concentration camps.”
“Reminder: the member who directly + explicitly compared concentration camps on our border to the Holocaust was *Liz Cheney.* The horrors of the Holocaust went beyond the use of concentration camps, yet camps were part of the process. They have also been used before and after,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted….
Later…Ocasio-Cortez called out “shrieking Republicans” for equating “concentration camps” and “death camps”
“And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Concentration camps are considered by experts as ‘the mass detention of civilians without trial.’ And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.”….
