Julian Castro, who is making a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, said he understands “the sentiment” behind Rep. Alexandria Ocasio’s comment comparing detention facilities at the southern border to “concentration camps.”
Castro made his remarks Wednesday during an interview on CNN’s “New Day.” A video excerpt of the interview was posted on the show’s Twitter account.
“Well, look, I think the point she was trying to make is that this is serious,” he said. “That this is the mistreatment of human beings.
“Of course, I understand that there is a significance to that term. But I agree with the sentiment behind what she said, which is that we can’t take this as normal. This is cruelty for these children.”
“We’ve had folks who study these things say that these children, a lot of these children, these people are going to be affected for their whole lifetime and so we can’t write it off.
“I think we should focus on what she was trying to say, which is we need to end this and end it now.”
Ocasio-Cortez had called the detention centers at the border “concentration camps” during a live video to her Instagram followers.
“The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border,” she said. “And that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps.”

I think we all know what AOC is attempting to point out but, as usual, her daffy
way of expressing herself, always ends up with her placing her foot in her mouth.
Castro and her need to look at the facts about what is happening at the border, how the
retention of illegals was the same as in the previous administrations and it is the Democrats
in Congress who deny the funding or the legislation to fix the problem because they do not
want this President to get anything he requests. Both should be asking why are there so many
illegals seeking to enter the U.S.. They probably already know it is a multi billionaire providing the funding who has an agenda and trying to get this President removed from office.
WELL SAID !
And we already know who “the billionaire” is: George Soros.
To Julian Castro, Fidel passed away, you Julian are a Jew Hating Hispanic Spick speak English, no Spanish, lump of Garbage.
Julian Castro, your a disgrace. AOC is an uneducated fool. She knows nothing and that goes for you too. She doesn’t know history. I guess you don’t either. What a fool you are. Do don’t belong in any government agency or office of President. So sick of you and the democrat party lying. Illegals are illegal. Not paying anymore taxes for lazy people who hate America and just want our benefits. You only care about illegals not all of American people. Democrat party is a dictatorship .
based on the above poll results re AOC, 8% of Americans belong in mental institutions.
As far as the camps go, the people responsible for the children, and others, being there, are those that illegally crossed out border
Do any of the 50 or so democratic president contenders ever actually go to Washington to do their job ? AOC is so far out of touch that no one with the IQ of a first grader could take her seriously and the rest of the field is running purely on hate. The democrats seem to believe that our country should turn over every dime to less than 2% of the country(LGBT) America better get back to god and stand up to all the freeks and baby killers and put this socialist uprising down before it ruins this great country. Who would have thought that someone running for president would be on TV kissing his gay lover ?What will we call him ? The first Gay bee ?? I mean seriously ???
ALL dementedKKKrats are bottom feeding idiots.
First of all, those who become occupants of concentration camps do so by force.
“Concentration Camps” for illegal invaders is a damn leftist lie.
The illegal invaders CHOOSE to storm the borders, so whatever happens to them is by their own hand.
The D party is now the DEMONCRAT CULT, and all that it implies, that is one reason they get along so ell with the moslems.
The CULT must be stopped!!!!!!
I think thry might benefit from learning the difference in definitions between an interment camp and a concentration camp.
I seriously doubt that the Trump administration has spent even ONE DIME on Zyklon-B.
Can any politician named Castro be trusted? Julian must be a dyed in the wool communist if he supports and defends Ocasio-Cortez.
Hey castrated, you are as big an idiot as she is. Get lost! Your lies don’t work anymore
I think you’re right. Only an idiot would try to justify anything another idiot says. So far as socialist democrats go she is by far the worst. No maybe not the worst just one of the new ones, cripe there are so many The new Muslim ones the old one’s Waters, Pelosi, shit, so many.
Rewrite Hillary Clinton 2005, said the average democrat voter is just plain stupid, they are so easy to manipulate, that’s the easy part, What did Hillary have to hide? why didn’t she give all her emails to the FBI? she ,and Obama colluded with Russia, and got millions from the 20% uranium deal, she’s an alcoholic, drug addict, can’t walk, can’t talk, and pedophile Billy boy had to talk for her, we voted for a non politician that is not stealing, and wasting our tax money, you wanted them to be our president, what a stupid retarded idiot you are you have shit for brains
The only thing that will bring us out of this depression is free energy, hydrogen from water, you can make all the hydrogen, as you drive from a tank of water, you know our space shuttles,are powered by hydrogen / oxygen made from water, and home power plants run from water. There’s a 200 mpg carburetor sitting in the patient office collecting dust, called the Porge vapor carburetor, liquid gas does not burn, only the vapor, look at the gas wast that our cars, and truck get 20, 30 ,40 mile to the gallon, boycott the auto company’s owned by the oil company’s don’t buy a new vehicle, and demand water to hydrogen kits to change all autos to water power with 2 switches to shut off the fuel pump, and fuel injectors, and fill your tank up with water, free energy
This “GUY” they call AOC is just another brain dead trannie. HE doesn’t even know what HE is, so how do you expect HIM to know about anything else. Just another freak from Frank’nville.
Castro is another Democratic moron!
Hey! Juli-anne. You are too brown to be a snowflake, maybe you are a little kitty cat turd. Both you and your queer twin brother. You need to just quietly go to your corner and shut-up and sit down.
AOC can make a perfectly good ass of herself without your help. AOC doesn’t need you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Neither do we. You can dream of the days when your nose was far up obama’s crack. Get forked.
it would take somebody fucked up like him to understand that dumb bitch
Julian and AOC definitely do not want to know what my sentiments are about their bs.
