Washington – Presidential senior adviser Stephen Miller said he was offended “as an American Jew” because Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez likened migrant detention camps to concentration camps.

Miller, the architect of President Donald Trump’s restrictive immigration policies, made his remarks on “Fox News Sunday” while seeking to defend his boss from charges of racism.
He said the focus should not be on Trump, who started a political fire when he said four congresswomen of color should “go back” to unspecified countries, but on the remarks earlier this year by one of them, Ocasio-Cortez.
“As a Jew, as an American Jew, I am profoundly outraged by the comments from Ocasio-Cortez,” Miller said of the freshman lawmaker from New York. “It is a historical smear, it is a sinful comment, it minimizes the death of 6 million of my Jewish brothers and sisters, it minimizes their suffering, and it paints every patriotic law enforcement officer as a war criminal.”
Ocasio-Cortez has said she is not likening the detention camps to Nazi camps, but to the broader understanding of the term concentration camps. A number of Jewish groups have criticized her for the comparison, while others have defended it as accurate.
Trump has repeatedly accused the four congresswomen of anti-Semitism, a charge that a number of Jewish groups have said is largely unfounded and inappropriate. Marianne Williamson, a self-help author who is Jewish and one of 25 Democrats seeking the presidential nomination, told CNN on Sunday that Trump’s accusations were out of line.
“I’m a Jew,” Williamson said. “No, I’m sorry Trump, you don’t get to pull that out as your defense.”
Hes a Jew that believes in Christianity. Hes no Jew besides his name.
You see, it is not the people running the concentration camps who are racists. It is the people who call the people running the concentration camps racists who are are really racists. Stephen Miller knows this because of his race. Got it?
Stevie ‘Kapo’ Miller is OK with the concentration kamps filled wih exiles. When VP Pence went there the footage looked like when Goebbels visited Buchenwald. Go to YouTube to see that great footage. Alt-yidden will enjoy that footage, too.
Why wasnt Miller offended “as a Jew” when his boss said that many fine people demonstrated with Neo Nazi’s in Charlottesville?
As a practicing Jew, I am outraged that Miller continues to use Judaism, the religion he does not practice, and the Holocaust in which many of our relatives paid for that religion with their lives, and as a soapbox and a bullhorn for political purposes.
No difference if it is done in the service of liberal or conservative issues. It is just wrong when politicians discover their G-d when it serves them but disregard Him when they should be serving Him.
Before I went to Amsterdam I believed that “Never Again” meant only “to us.” After visiting the Anne Frank exhibit I’ve come to agree with Leo Frank that Never is universal. Those camps are not “Death Camps” but that part of concentration camps came only after the start of 1943.
The commenters here are kapo scum who continue to lie about President Trump when he actually condemned the neo nazis, and continue to compare Trump to hitler and the detention centers for people coming here illegally to consentration camps and then have the audacity to complain when people fight back against this sick holocaust comparisons, go to hell you sickos and quack you don’t seem to have a problem with all the leftist scum who bring up their Judaism to support their anti Torah agenda and to condemn Israel at every turn. Democrats continue to support the end of religious freedom and those who support the destruction of Israel.
Wow, how many hours did it take you to come up with such an erudite comment?
