Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted another tweet on "concentration camps."

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday commented on the United States' history of concentration camps. 
 "The US ran concentration camps before, when we rounded up Japanese people during WWII," she 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."  That tweet follows one that included a link to an Esquire article citing historians who say the country's detention centers meet the concentration camp criteria.   Ocasio-Cortez stated on Tuesday: "This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis."  A number of Republican lawmakers were quick to criticize the comment as one that downplayed the Holocaust.
