Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is not taking coverage of her epic debacle in Germany well at all.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, AOC delivered one of the most humiliating performances by a U.S. politician in modern history at the Munich Security Conference. She made a host of mind-boggling gaffes in response to simple questions while botching basic geography.
In one instance, a moderator at the event asked AOC if the US should commit troops to defend against China, and she turned into a stuttering mess.
“Um, you know, I think that, uh, this is such a, uh, you know, I — I think that this is a, umm, this is of course a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States – uh and I think what we are hoping for is we want to make sure that we never get to that point,” AOC said.
“And we want to make sure that we are moving all of our economic research and global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise,” she said.
In addition to the ugly episode, AOC also incorrectly stated that Venezuela was below the equator and called Secretary of State Marco Rubio racist for saying cowboys came from Spain.
On Monday night, AOC called The New York Times and vented her fury over the coverage of her gaffes and the questions she was asked.
“This reporter came up to me and was like, ‘Is Munich the new New Hampshire?’ And I cannot say enough how out of touch and missing the point, genuinely, that is,” AOC whined during the interview with the Times.
“Global democracies are on fire the world over, and established parties are falling to right-wing populist movements.”
AOC continued to complain about the media clips that went viral, saying, “Any five-to-10-second thing” only serves to “distract from the substance of what I am saying.”
The New York Democrat later felt compelled to claim that her attendance at the event was not about preparing for a 2028 Presidential run. As if anyone believes her.
