CNN contributor endorses Nazi propaganda tactics and fails on history

On Wednesday’s edition of “Cuomo Prime Time,” CNN contributor Angela Rye offered inadvertent irony matched to historical illiteracy.

It came during Rye’s debate with Steve Cortes, a supporter of President Trump, over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., description of U.S. border facilities as “concentration camps.” Cortes’ condemnation of Ocasio-Cortez led Rye to respond, “I hope that at some point you wrestle with your conscience. Because sir, you are on the wrong side of history. In 1933 there were concentration camps, in 1941 there were death camps. And that’s where we are going if our consciences are not quickly pierced.”
