AOC deploys shocking word salad of 'ums' and 'ahs' after being asked about US defense of Taiwan at Munich Security Conference

Daily Mail

Progressive Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave a garbled answer when asked about how the US would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. 

Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, said: 'Um, you know, I think that I, uh, this is such a, you know, I think that this is a, um, this is of course, a, uh, very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,' she began.

'And I think what we are hoping for is that we make sure we never get to that point and we want to make sure that we are moving all of our economic, research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise,' she finished.

This how she responded to the question, 'Would and should the US actually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?' at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday.

Ocasio-Cortez's stumble came as she tried to boost her foreign policy chops and will likely come back to haunt her should she ultimately decide to make a White House run.   

Other panelists included Matthew Whitaker, the US Ambassador to NATO since April of last year, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Whitaker, who had a controversial stint as acting Attorney General in Trump's first administration, offered a bit more clarity on what US policy should be on Chinese expansionism.

Shocking?  I'd say her 'ums and 'ahs' are expected coming from a nonsensical liberal like her.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Taiwan China, is a country that exists in the world. It is a country which a larger country wants to conquer.
I think and I will say with absolute clarity, Taiwan is a place on the Earth with people living there!

She reminds me of that girl in a beauty pageant years ago, struggling to answer some question about politics,  finally settling on South Africa.
