Ocasio-Cortez responds after Steve King calls her out over 'concentration camps' remark
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday lashed back at Rep. Steve King after he suggested she accept an open invitation from a Holocaust remembrance group to tour Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps during summer recess.
“I’m going to have to decline your invite,” she tweeted. “But thank you for revealing to all how transparently the far-right manipulates these moments for political gain.” The squabble follows Ocasio-Cortez’s comments in a video last week in which she compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers to “concentration camps.”
