Radical lawmaker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) drew harsh condemnation for comparing U.S. border facilities with “concentration camps,” a term most linked to the Nazi camps holding Jews and other enemies of the state during World War II.

Speaking during an Instagram live video on the night of June 17, the far-left politician also made a direct comparison to the Holocaust, which saw six million Jews killed by the Nazis.
