Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing a wave of mockery after completely botching a simple question about Taiwan defense at the Munich Security Conference, and her damage control efforts have only made things worse.
The New York Democrat's stumbling, incoherent response to whether America should defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Instead of giving a clear answer on one of the most critical foreign policy issues of our time, AOC delivered a rambling word salad that left observers wondering if she has any understanding of basic geopolitics.
But here's where it gets even more embarrassing for the progressive poster child: When AOC took to Instagram to blame her critics and predictably attack President Trump, her fiancé could be heard SNORING in the background during her lengthy defensive rant.
Another Democrat Foreign Policy Disaster
This latest fumble perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the radical left's approach to national security. While President Trump is working to rebuild America's strength on the world stage and restore respect for our nation, Democrats like AOC can't even answer basic questions about defending our democratic allies.
The Taiwan question isn't some obscure policy detail – it's one of the most pressing security challenges facing America today. Communist China continues to threaten Taiwan's independence, and every serious leader should have a clear position on whether we'll stand with our democratic allies.
"The fact that AOC can't give a straight answer on Taiwan while her fiancé is literally sleeping through her excuses tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats' foreign policy priorities," one conservative commentator noted.
Instead of owning her obvious lack of preparation, AOC chose the typical leftist playbook: blame Trump, blame critics, blame everyone except herself. The snoring incident has only added fuel to the fire, with social media users pointing out the irony of someone falling asleep during her own foreign policy defense.
This is what happens when virtue signaling matters more than actual competence. While President Trump meets with world leaders and advances America First policies, the radical left can't even stay awake long enough to defend their own talking points.
How can Americans trust Democrats with national security when they can't even handle basic questions without embarrassing themselves on the world stage?
