NBC host Chuck Todd has called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for her recent comments comparing U.S. border facilities with “concentration camps,” saying that the freshman congresswoman is doing “the people there a tremendous disservice.”

“You can call our government’s detention of migrants at our southern border many things depending on how you see it,“ Todd said during his ”Meet the Press“ program on June 19. ”It’s a stain on our nation, maybe, a necessary evil to others.”
