The Gateway Pundit reported on the speculation that AOC’s decision to speak on foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference was her way to signal a possible 2028 run.
Her debut, however, was a disaster, as she faceplanted on the world stage and her word salad blunders drew mockery across the globe.
When a moderator at the event asked her if the US should commit troops to defend against China, she delivered what Vice President JD Vance called “the most uncomfortable 20 seconds of television I’ve ever seen…”
“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,” she fumbled.
“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.
AOC also incorrectly stated that Venezuela was below the equator and called Secretary of State Marco Rubio racist for saying cowboys came from Spain.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld noted that AOC’s performance exposes the benefit from what he called a “binary filter” inside the U.S.
Gutfeld first mocked AOC for her take on cowboys, pointing out an ironic twist.
“The way she mocked JD Vance, the idea that American cowboys came from Spain, that, that was so stupid. She’s wrong.”
“They were brought there, I don’t know, in the 15th century by some guy. Get this. Do you know what his name is? Cortés. She’s a direct descendant of the guy that brought the horses to Mexico and then to America.”
“So weirdly enough, it was Cortés, who brought the horses, and then later gave us an ass.”
“Anyway, I think the Democrats are blessed with the binary filter of being within our border, where Democrats and Republicans are kind of seen as intellectual equivalents because there are two, two parties. But once you step outside the country, that equality evaporates on contact.”
“It’s like two guys playing Call of Duty. Then they both go to war, but only one has real combat and experience and skills. That’s when the Dems, that’s what happens to the Dems when they leave the house and they venture outside and you see that they know nothing.”
“It’s like on cable news, AOC and Gav can raise themselves up by sparring online with Trump. And you might think they’re in the ballpark, but they’re not even in the same country.”
“I think the mistake since Obama was focusing on identity but not national. In fact, it was the opposite of national identity. It was splintered factions and causes, whether it was trans, illegal rights, felon justice, kind of activist-driven climate pronouns, land acknowledgement.”
“So the Dems took this short-term virtue signal and let everything else go to pot. So they became almost like the children in Lord of the Flies. They just start going after each other. And Republicans, just by default, look like adults, even if you disagree with them, and they have to return to the island to establish order. And the children hate it.
“But the problem with this identity politics is you only focus inward and not outward.”
“They look like children because they are.”
Watch:
Gutfeld just ROASTED AOC with a savage historical twist!
