Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed on Wednesday that the United States ran “concentration camps” during World War II at the same time that Nazi Germany was systematically murdering millions of Jews in concentration camps.
“The US ran concentration camps before, when we rounded up Japanese people during WWII,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “It is such a shameful history that we largely ignore it. These camps occur throughout history. Many refuse to learn from that shame, but here we are today. We have an obligation to end them.”
