AOC Crashes and Burns in Munich
Sasha Stone Dot Com ^ | 17 Feb 2026 | Sasha Stone

Posted on 02/17/2026 4:51:14 PM PST by Rummyfan

And Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have never looked so out of touch.

You know things must have been bad for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Munich for the New York Times to attempt some damage control.

But rather than the substance of her arguments, it was her on-camera stumbles when answering questions about specific world affairs that rocketed around conservative social media and drove plenty of the discussion about her visit, as political observers speculated whether they would make a dent in a potential presidential run in 2028.

It must be nice to have a full court press — a propaganda machine — to run cover for you every time you make a mistake. Can you imagine if Donald Trump got this kind of cushion every time he stumbled? Or any time he stumbled? Or even one time, even one break, even one nice headline ever from the New York Times?

The script didn’t go as planned for AOC. On the upside, at least she finally knows what the real world is about and why it’s not as great as it might seem to have a magic mirror that always tells you who is the fairest of them all.

It wasn’t just her long pause, her ums, and her uhs, as she tried to think of the right thing to say when asked about the US sending troops to protect Taiwan. That was bad enough.

She's exposed herself as a liability to her handlers and her donors.

If she can't regurgitate talking points, or keep her mouth shut when she's behind the curve, she's a liability.

After First Big Overseas Trip, Ocasio-Cortez Expresses Frustrations

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had anticipated a potentially frosty reception to her anti-establishment arguments at the Munich Security Conference, a venue she called “an elite place of decision makers that, frankly, are not responsive to a class-based message.”

She is afraid to say anything because she knows she is an idiot that knows nothing. All democrats are just emotion with zero intellect or life experience.

Throw her off guard by telling her it’s in The Cloud.

Someone joked AOC could be right about Venezuela if you turned the map upside down.

Next, ask AOC how do the people south of the Equator and in Australia keep a grip and prevent themselves from falling off the Earth down there.

Good grief, she was as bad as Kamala. These commie clowns are just plain ignorant.

I hear Hillary was a total bit_h and was asked to please let others speak. She had that hideous, sour, know it all look on her hard and nasty face.

Total embarrassments.

Perhaps the bartender side of her just had to sample the excellent beers of Munich and she underestimated them.

Nah.

Neither of them has the ability to play "Costello". Throw in Jasmine Crockett, and you might have Three Stooges.

AOC, like most Democrats, are accustomed to getting hints from the propaganda media if the answer requires any actual knowledge.

You’re right.

Yes. That trio you mentioned.

AOC: “Hey Kamala. Ya know what I think?’’

Kamala Harris: “Listen sweetie pie every time you think you weaken the nation!’’

Jasmine Crockett: “Oh a wise cracka, huh?’’

I thought Abbott was the one they would have a tough time playing.
