Context matters here. AOC called them concentration camps (they are), and the Museum was responding to that. So while yes, they did object to drawing any analogies at all,* their statement is appropriately understood also as an objection, specifically, to the claim that the ICE camps are concentration camps. And I maintain that it's spineless. But I will grant to you that their response is also extreme.


*which I guess is a trivial way to satisfy "never again", if you decide that "again" should be understood to mean "literally the exact same thing happening again with no differences whatsoever" then surely it will never happen again, eternal recurrence of the universe aside.
