Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is being widely mocked for what one critic called an "absolute train wreck" weekend full of gaffes while in Germany for the Munich Security Conference.
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."
"Tell me you know nothing about history without saying you know nothing about history," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote.

Political strategist Marco Frieri reacted, "I don't understand why AOC is trying to rewrite this. It just makes her look bad."
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."
Harris took particular issue with Ocasio-Cortez’s comment about Israel perpetuating a genocide in Gaza. Harris wrote that "for her, on German soil, to declare #Israel guilty of ‘genocide’ is beyond obscene" and "should be disqualifying for her political ambitions."
OutKick founder Clay Travis compared Ocasio-Cortez’s answer about U.S. policy on Taiwan to a viral beauty pageant answer from 2007, quipping, "Who gave the better answer to a foreign policy question: AOC or Miss South Carolina?"

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., the term-limited governor of the key Great Lakes battleground state, was also criticized.
Asked what victory would look like for Ukraine, Whitmer said Ocasio-Cortez and U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker, who were sitting with her on the panel, were "much more steeped in foreign policy than a governor is."
"Ukraine's independence, keeping their land mass and having the support of all of the allies, I think, is the goal," Whitmer added.
Ocasio-Cortez was also asked, "Would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?"
The four-term lawmaker appeared to stall for nearly 20 seconds before offering that the U.S. should try to avoid reaching a clash with China over Taiwan.
"This is, of course, a, a very long-standing, policy of the United States, and I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point, and we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise," said Ocasio-Cortez.
Conservative journalist Eric Daughtery called the response a "word salad," writing in all-caps that she had "SELF-DESTRUCTED."
Popular commentator Benny Johnson also ripped into Ocasio-Cortez for another comment in which she accused the Trump administration of kidnapping Venezuelan ex-President Nicolás Maduro and claimed that Venezuela is below the equator.
"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.
Independent journalist Nick Sortor wrote, "AOC has AGAIN made a fool out of herself on stage saying that we can’t capture leaders like Maduro in Venezuela ‘just because the nation is south of the equator’ NONE of Venezuela is south of the equator," adding, "PLEASE run in 2028, AOC."

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."
"Wokeness is truly a mind virus," he added.
Prominent Catholic leader Bishop Robert Barron also expressed concern about Ocasio-Cortez’s statements over the weekend. In a video released on X, Barron said that Ocasio-Cortez’s dismissal of Rubio's appeal to Western values and casting of class struggle as the defining global issue is "right out of the Marxist playbook."
Barron said that this "concerns me not just as someone who follows politics but as a bishop of the Catholic Church."
"Marx himself said that the first critique is a critique of religion, and his political adepts followed it. The first thing that the Marxist tyrannies went after, in most cases, was religion. I’m getting a little concerned that in some of these leading figures in our own politics, a Marxist philosophy is taking hold," said Barron.
"As a religious leader, this is concerning me quite a bit. Take a look, everybody, attend to the language, in a way they’re telling us who they are and what they’re for, and I think that should be very concerning to everybody," he concluded.
Ocasio-Cortez's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Trump hammers AOC Munich stumbles as 'not a good look for the United States'
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been facing criticism for her responses to foreign policy questions

President Donald Trump said the way Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez answered questions at the Munich Security Conference "was not a good look for the United States."
The Democratic lawmaker from New York and potential 2028 presidential candidate has been facing criticism for making foreign policy gaffes at the event. In one instance, Ocasio-Cortez appeared to stall for nearly 20 seconds when asked if the U.S. should send troops to defend Taiwan from a possible invasion by China, and in another, claimed Venezuela is below the equator.
"By the way, I watched AOC answering questions in Munich. This was not a good look for the United States. I watched Gavin Newscum answering questions in Munich, and this was a bad look for our country," Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One on Monday night.
"This was a bad – these two people are incompetent, and at least Hillary is competent. She's just Trump deranged. She was so deranged and she is an angry woman. But I watched the other two speaking and answering basic questions. Look, Gavin has destroyed California, and AOC I never really got her, I never heard her speak very much and they started answering questions. She had no idea what was happening," Trump continued, referencing Newsom’s and Clinton’s attendance at the Munich Security Conference.
"She had no idea how to answer, you know, very important questions concerning the world. But she can't answer questions concerning New York City either, because New York City [has] got some problems," Trump also said about Ocasio-Cortez.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for reaction.
A Newsom spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday: "Donald Trump is on his knees for coal and Big Oil, selling out America’s future to China. Governor Newsom will continue to lead in his absence. Foreign leaders are rejecting Trump and choosing California’s vision for the future."
Ocasio-Cortez was asked on Friday, "Would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?"
The four-term lawmaker appeared to stall for nearly 20 seconds before offering that the U.S. should try to avoid reaching a clash with China over Taiwan.
"This is, of course, a, a very long-standing, policy of the United States, and I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point, and we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise," Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez also claimed that Venezuela was "below the equator" while criticizing the Trump administration for arresting the nation's dictator Nicolás Maduro.
"It is not a remark on who Maduro was as a leader. He canceled elections. He was an anti-democratic leader. That doesn’t mean that we can kidnap a head of state and engage in acts of war just because the nation is below the equator," Ocasio-Cortez said.
In a post on Truth Social Monday night, Trump said, "AOC and Newscum were an embarrassment to our Nation."

Appendix I
Trump declines to answer question about China and Taiwan
February 27, 2025 8:14 AM GMT+8 Updated February 27, 2025
https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-declines-answer-question-about-china-taiwan-2025-02-26/
WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to comment in response to a question about whether the United States would ever allow China to take control of Taiwan by force.
"I never comment on that," Trump said at the White House. "I don't want to ever put myself in that position."
Trump spoke during a Cabinet meeting in response to a reporter's question about whether it was his policy that China would never take Taiwan by force while he is president.
He said he intended to have good relations with China, including cross-border investment, despite his imposition of tariffs on goods from the country.
Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring democratically governed Taiwan under its control. Taiwan strongly objects to China's sovereignty claims.
In a separate interview with Fox News, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the government had a long standing position on Taiwan it was not going to abandon, namely being against any forced or coercive change in Taiwan's status.
"America has existing commitments that it has made to prevent that from happening and to react to it, and that would be executed on....the Chinese are aware of this as well," he said, when asked what would the U.S. do if China attacked.
The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979 and has long said it does not support a formal declaration of independence by Taiwan.
It does, however, maintain unofficial relations with Taiwan and remains its most important backer and arms supplier under a law that requires Washington to provide Taiwan with a means to defend itself.
The United States has long stuck to a policy of "strategic ambiguity," not making clear whether it would respond militarily to an attack on Taiwan.
Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, took a different approach during his time in office, saying that U.S. forces would defend Taiwan if China were to attack.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has declined to commit the US military to the defense of Taiwan from China if she is elected in November.
“I’m not going to get into hypotheticals,” the candidate told Bill Whitaker of CBS when asked about the issue.
“We need to make sure that we maintain a ‘One China’ policy, but that includes supporting Taiwan’s ability to defend itself, including what we need to do to ensure the freedom of the Taiwan Strait,” she added, speaking on the program ‘60 Minutes’ which aired on Monday. Harris said the US “should not seek conflict,” and should also keep its business interests in mind.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has declined to commit the US military to the defense of Taiwan from China if she is elected in November.
Washington switched its diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, but maintains close ties to Taiwan, including by selling advanced weapon systems to the island and inviting its representatives to various international events.
China considers such actions as infringing on the One China principle and fostering conflict. Beijing’s stated goal is to seek peaceful reunification, but has said it would use force, should Taiwan try to declare independence.
The US considers its current relationship with China as a strategic rivalry, which is complicated by extensive trade between the two nations.
In her 2023 interview with ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS, Harris disagreed with President Joe Biden over his description of the Chinese economy as a “ticking time bomb.” The US policy “is not about decoupling, it is about de-risking,” she said.
“It is about ensuring that we are protecting American interests, and that we are a leader in terms of the rules of the road, as opposed to following others’ rules,” Harris added.
