AOC's campaign to ensure words mean nothing

On Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said, “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border.” She then went on to say that President Trump is a “fascist” and that when she says that, she does not “use those words lightly.”

Ocasio-Cortez later tried to claim that she was not, in fact, invoking the Holocaust by talking about concentration camps, but rather, she was simply talking about the general “mass detention of civilians without trial.” This, however, is a cheap defense as in the video, she used the phrase “never again,” a phrase directly associated with Holocaust remembrance.
