AOC mocked for ‘absolute train wreck’ weekend on global stage: 'Made a fool out of herself'
One of the leading voices of the Democratic Party and a rumored 2028 presidential frontrunner, Ocasio-Cortez was ripped over several comments she made this weekend, including one in which she attempted to mock Secretary of State Marco Rubio for saying that U.S. cowboy culture originated in Spain.
"My favorite part was when he said that American cowboys came from Spain," Ocasio-Cortez said, laughing. "I believe that Mexicans and the descendants of African enslaved peoples would like to have a word on that."
Matt Whitlock, a GOP strategist, called Ocasio-Cortez’s showing "an absolute train wreck," calling her out for "Talking Nazis, Mexico and Spain, and the word salad heard round the world on Taiwan."
David Harris, an author on antisemitism, wrote that "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) isn't just an ignoramus. She's dangerous because she has the support of a larger group of ignoramuses."
"AOC pontificates that we can’t just capture the leaders of nations like Venezuela because they are below the equator. Venezuela is not below the equator," Johnson wrote.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, chimed in on X, writing, "It’s bad enough that @AOC, who barely speaks Spanish, is showcasing her lack of basic geography in Europe instead of spending time helping her constituents. What’s worse is the woke white liberals in Germany felt compelled to clap for her."
