This is why AOC scares them - she’s not going to apologize for what she said. Most Democrats in the past have caved to pressure from the press and apologized for pointing out uncomfortable truths (e.g. Hillary and the deplorables comment).

Thank you, Dems, for drawing attention to these horrific human rights violations. This should be item #1 in the news every day until it is fixed, reparations are made, and the Trump administration goes down in flames for it.

Hearbreaking and enraging. There are protests today but nothing near me.

Because the media never point out uncomfortable truths and hate it when others do it. Right.

Don’t tell me this is not a full blown concentration camp. This is unbelievably horrendous. What is anyone going to do to change this? Drinking water coming from toilets? WTF!!!

Read some of the nasty replies Castro got from posting some of these pictures, people thinking this is fine, what about the “real” homeless including in inner cities and veterans.

I would love it if AOC, or ANY DEM, called in the International Red Cross.

Even the Nazi’s let them into their concentration camps.

And of course when Democrats reply, “Yeah that sucks too. Lets do something about that as well.” They suddenly lose interest…

On Fox News they are moaning that AOC shouted at poor Border guards. Hell yes, she should shout. Those guys work for us. They are supposed to be upholding American values. They should all be ashamed.
