This was painful to watch.
Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez completely fell apart on the world stage when asked a simple question about foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference on Friday.
AOC spoke on two different panels on Friday: “Vox Populi? Responding to the Rise of Populism” and “Breaking (With) the Past: Seismic Shifts in US Foreign Policy.”
The moderator asked AOC if the US should commit troops to defend against China and she turned into a stuttering mess.
Of course, AOC would hang Taiwan out to dry, but she could not string together a sentence.
“Would and should the US actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?” the moderator asked AOC.
“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.
WATCH:
AOC also called for a “wealth tax” and ranted about “income inequality.”
“I think we are moving in this direction… We have to have a working class-centered politics, if we are going to succeed and also if we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism, which provide political siren calls to allure people into finding scapegoats to blame for rising economic inequality,” she said.
