Far-left New York City Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being widely mocked for erroneously claiming that Venezuela is “below the equator” while trying to show off her foreign-policy chops in Germany.
Venezuela sits just above the equator, but that didn’t stop the Democratic socialist — who majored in international relations at Boston University — from making the embarrassing gaffe while speaking at a Technical University of Berlin panel Sunday.
“[Nicolas] Maduro canceled elections. He was an anti-democratic leader,” Ocasio-Cortez said, describing the Venezuela elections that took place under the Maduro regime and which many international organizations have said were rigged.

The horse-faced libtard skank is the living and breathing embodiment of the embarrassing gaffe.
As far as AOC gaffes go, this isn’t the worst. Yes, she should know that Venezuela sits north of Ecuador, which is ON the equator, but South America is generally thought of as being in the “southern” hemisphere.
As embarrassing as she is, people who vote for her are just as stupid; so we’re probably stuck with her...
It is ***closer*** to being south of the equator than many other countries. lol
Don’t blame her, blame Riley.
Just like kamalalaladingdong......the more exposure she gets the more people will see what a complete imbecile she really is.
Imagine this little twit on a debate stage with J.D Vance or Marco Rubio.......hopefully it would completely destroy her so called political career.
The people that voted for her must be a bunch of knuckle dragging mouth breathers.
I watched a clip of her trying to answer a question at that event. She makes Kamala look like a genius.
She majored in f******g in college.
They didn’t get into a lot of geography in that curriculum.
Mouth breeders, just like AOC.

I won’t mock her on this, as I didn’t know where it is either. She is stupid to talk about it in public in front of the media & World leaders.
It was worse when she said the three branches of government were: the presidency, the senate and the house.
AOC has proven me wrong again. I really did think she could get even more stupid. I was clearly wrong.
Below the equator, below the belt...same thing.
You thought she could get more stupid, but you were wrong?
You’re not a politician with large public audience. IF I WERE which I’m not, I’d parse every statement clearly with proven facts ahead of time. Like Guam tipping over if all of the people crowded to one side of the island comes to mind.
Cancun, the equator—what difference does it make?
She’s a brain dead MORON..the ONLY thing she is good at is trashing Israel and supporting Hamas, that gets her kudos from the Hamas loving base of hers other than that its a deer in a headlight look every single time
Being an imbecile does not disqualify one from political office. She’s demonstrating to her followers and most democrats that she has the intellect for the presidency.
