Make America Compassionate Again

Consistent news reports of children being kept in cages in squalid conditions without toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and warm blankets in cold nights led to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) calling them “concentration camps.”

This set off a massive controversy from outraged Republicans including fellow Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who blasted Ocasio-Cortez's comments, saying, “That’s a comment that is clearly ludicrous [and] clearly something that must be responded to,” Cheney said Tuesday. “I think she ought to apologize for it, and I think that we ought to be in a position where rather than launching attacks like that — which are clearly political on their face [and] clearly misinformed — we all ought to be working to try to help the crisis at the border.”
