Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is facing criticism over a campaign mailer featuring a nonsensical Arabic translation of election information, including the last day voters can cast their ballot. The campaign leaflet features Arabic script in which the characters appear in reverse order and are disconnected, deviating from standard Arabic script requirements.
The mistake drew attention after Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a journalist, criticized the gaffe on X (formerly Twitter). He remarked that the disorganized script was emblematic of Ocasio-Cortez’s disconnect with Arab voters.
The incorrect Arabic also drew comments from Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian studies professor at Reichman University. He equated the flyer mishap with Ocasio-Cortez’s understanding of Middle Eastern affairs, labeling it “gibberish.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not appear to have caught the error until Shihab-Eldin and others noted the mistake. The New York Democratic Party lawmaker had posted images of the mailer on social media but quickly deleted them after criticism began to roll in. As part of her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez has been vocal about reducing military aid to Israel, accusing the Jewish state of committing acts of genocide against Palestinians.
The social media post accompanying the campaign material pointed out efforts to mobilize New Yorkers in five languages, advancing support for Vice President Kamala Harris, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), and Ocasio-Cortez herself. According to the Democrat, her campaign has sent mailers in 800 languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, French Creole, and Bengali. It is unclear how many suffer from translation and grammatical issues which render them unintelligible.Image by Matt A.J.
ChatGPT and idiocy are a hell of a mix.
Even the Gibbers couldn’t understand what she was trying to say.
Jail her.
Douglass Mackey [Ricky Vaughn] went to prison for the same thing.
Well her English is gibberish..
This is as funny as Trump’s garbage truck slap at Biden!🤣 Love it!
It looks like “I, J, Happy face, clamp, 9, rubber duck, Happy face “.
AOC supporters are fluent in gibberish.
It looks as though Sandy hired the same speech writer to make her posters that the Walz/Harriz Cartel uses to write their speeches.
She thinks “From the River to the Sea” means the Hudson to Coney Island.
“I am a jelly donut” - John F. Kennedy
“I lust after the Polish people” - James Earl Carter.
I really thought this was the Babylon Bee!
Omg.
Direct quotes from Kamala?
Dirka Dirka Dirka Muhammad Jihad!
In all fairness, some of Poland’s women are quite beautiful. I wouldn’t openly say I must after them; some things are best left to the internal monologue.

Babylon Bee, as great as it is, cannot compete with reality!..................
You really start to wonder if there are saboteurs on her campaign.
So many unforced errors.
