Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) embarrassed herself once again, this time struggling to give a coherent answer when asked whether the United States should defend Taiwan against Communist China's aggression.
The socialist Squad member's stumbling response reveals everything Americans need to know about how the radical left views our national security responsibilities and commitment to democratic allies.
When directly asked if the U.S. "would and should" commit to defending Taiwan, AOC appeared visibly uncomfortable and unable to provide a clear answer. This is the same woman who confidently lectures Americans about everything from cow flatulence to pronouns, yet when faced with a real foreign policy question involving Communist China, she crumbles.
Weakness Invites Aggression
AOC's inability to take a firm stance on Taiwan isn't just embarrassing—it's dangerous. The Chinese Communist Party is watching every signal from American politicians, and this kind of weakness only emboldens Xi Jinping's territorial ambitions.
While President Trump has consistently demonstrated strength against China through tariffs and tough negotiations, Democrats like AOC seem more concerned with appeasing Beijing than protecting our allies. This is the same party that spent years enriching China while American manufacturing jobs disappeared.
Taiwan represents everything the left claims to support: democracy, human rights, and freedom from authoritarian oppression. Yet when push comes to shove, AOC can't even commit to defending these values against Communist aggression.
The contrast couldn't be clearer. President Trump's America First policies include peace through strength and unwavering support for democratic allies. Meanwhile, Democrats fumble basic questions about defending freedom.
Patriots deserve leaders who can answer fundamental questions about America's role in the world without stuttering and stumbling. AOC's performance proves once again that the radical left is simply not serious about national security.
How can Americans trust Democrats with foreign policy when they can't even take a clear position on defending democracy against Communist China?
