Actress and left-wing activist Alyssa Milano on Saturday tweeted an image that included Vice President Mike Pences visit to an immigration detention center along with a picture of Nazi chief Heinrich Himmler touring a prisoner of war compound.
Milano posted the picture of Pence at the detention facility juxtaposed below Himmler walking past prisoners. Himmler was a one-time poultry farmer who was ultimately responsible for all Nazi security forces and directly oversaw the Holocaust. Pence, who toured a McAllen, Texas immigration facility on Friday, has described himself as “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican. In that order.”

Milanos tweet did not go unnoticed on Twitter with dozens of people telling Milano that they thought the comparisons were either inappropriate or inaccurate. (RELATED: Alyssa Milano Says Shes A Gay Man In A Weird Tweet — Doubles Down On Critics)
She neither explained nor commented further in the tweet.

The actress is not the first Twitter star to attempt to draw parallels between the Nazis and border detention. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently called the facilities “concentration camps on our southern border.” The Holocaust Center upbraided the congresswoman for making the comparison.
