Once again, the Radical Left’s favorite Squad member is substituting actual policy knowledge with absolute theatrical melodrama.
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.
AOC then 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.

RE: AOC seems a nice person...
But her dark side is there, waiting. Her dimples and shy smile worked in high school but she was probably ready to cut down any rivals who got in her way as in Mean Girls.
Minutes after the controversial death of the SUV woman hitting the agent she said the ICE agent was a “murderer.”
That’s fine for people informally talking somewhere but not for a woman serving in the US Congress.
She should have played it safe and simply said that Venezuela is located "between the Tropic of Leukemia and the Tropic of Popcorn."

Good strategy.
Remember Kamala and her aides tried to make excuses for avoiding the press conferences and media interviews for months? Then had a puff piece political love affair journalist do one and the aides said “See? She just met with the media.” Then the post loss book tour theme is she only had those few days to let the public know how wonderful she was.
The more people get to know these candidates the less they like them. All they have is “the one who isn’t Trump.”
AND-— SHE WAS A THIEF WHEN A BARTENDER-—SHE STOLE THE TIPS
True. Two time World Series champion baseball manager Sparky Anderson used to say the overconfident guy who thinks he’ll always be winning and on top of the world learns that the Earth rotates and 12 hours later he will be on the underside.
Look what they did to Dan Quayle decades ago for misspelling “potato”.
Can her eyes focus on objects in front of her? Can she leave a stage without the Easter Bunny's help? Climb a set of stairs? She's already ahead of Biden 3-0. Add on that the raided tip jar is only a stack of ones compared to millions from Hunter's bagman jobs like Burisma, I'll move her to 3.9-0 over Biden.
You mean like Dan Quayle being handed the mistaken “potatoe” spelling on a game card handed to him to read at Luis Muñoz Marín Elementary School and never being able to escape ridicule?
Either refuse to read it and demand they look at it, or go along to be nice and read it.
Anybody who says something to make AOC start to have tears swell up is, well, just a meany. So there.
The Presidential candidate who was damaged and had to drop out——
“During the 1972 New Hampshire primary, Democratic presidential front-runner Edmund Muskie delivered an emotional, angry speech outside the Manchester Union Leader to defend his wife against attacks. While some reporters reported seeing tears on his face, Muskie maintained it was melting snow, not crying, that caused the iconic, campaign-damaging moment. “
-—WaPo.
Media said a President who would cry would not be a fit leader and this led to pressure to drop out of the race, which Muskie did later.
Right, and for her entire adult life whenever AOC walked by somebody would say, WOW! Look at that A$$!!!!!! and AOC always thought they were talking about her Southern Equator.

Well, they're actually called that in German! "Wendekreis des Krebs" and "Wendekreis des Steinbocks"

Rule #1 in the Liberal Handbook: It’s always someone else’s fault.
In other news AOC demanded that whatever countries might be on the equator put poles in the ground and ropes connecting them to help brilliant analysts like her figure out where the equator is....
There’s no equator on a flat earth.
I would be right if Trump hadn’t acted to prove me wrong.
The media have never stopped excoriating Quayle over it. 30-plus years later and any mention of him is still accompanied by potatoe.
I am torn between wanting to watch her go down in flames as the democrat presidential nominee in 2028 and abject fear that there might actually be enough really stupid voters to elect her.
She’ll never survive the democrat debates.....if there are any.
