WASHINGTON — Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back at critics of her recent gaffe-filled attempt to show off her foreign policy bona fides in Germany, contending it was proof she thinks before she speaks.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was noticeably hoarse as she responded to the blowback she received after stammering over a question about how the US should respond to a hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan is due to the public being conditioned to President Trump’s impulsiveness.
“If you think I don’t understand foreign policy because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exists on Earth,” she said in an Instagram story.
“I’m afraid the issue’s not my understanding but rather the problem is perhaps you’ve gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks and doesn’t care about the implications of his words before he speaks on matters like these.”
The Bronx and Queens rep’s trip to the Munich Security Conference earlier this month was widely interpreted as an attempt to show off her foreign policy knowledge as she tests the waters for a 2028 run.

Yes, but can you name the deputy prime minister of Angola, which was like the first foreign policy question Sarah Palin got.
But Chris Christie has a crush on her.
I see Christie’s quote, but who’s the “top Republican” referred to in the headline?
Well played.
This bimbo tries to be too cute by half. Her single brain cell is lonesome
“Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was noticeably hoarse...”
She’s been noticeably a horse for a long time. I wonder if they worked in “hoarse” on purpose.
She’s a brain dead moron, but heck this is the same commie party that put in brain dead Biden and brain dead Harris so anything is possible
“Wil-Bur!!”

You can spell hoarse with a “W” also.
Translation: She spent 12-18 hrs prepping with bernie sander’s foreign policy “expert” and in her tiny mind this makes her unquestionably qualified to be President.
There are bits of refuse floating down the Potomac that have a better grasp of the issues.
AOC fires back at critics of her gaffe-filled foreign policy speech but screws that up too ,LOL
“Top Republican” Christie will work for food these days.
AOC must have given him a triple decker, footlong Philly Cheese Steak sub.
As in, how many whores does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: None. You can't fit any whores inside a light bulb.
