"So, look, I'll give you that AOC probably should have been more ready for that question, she conceded after the reel's conclusion before posing the following question to a right-leaning guest: But are we going to really pretend that the actual president of the United States has not made similar or perhaps worse flubs on the global stage?

Abby Phillip aired a clip of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being asked whether the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. Ocasio-Cortez provided a hesitant, policy-focused response emphasizing avoidance of confrontation and coordination across economic, research, and global positions.

Phillip conceded that Ocasio-Cortez could have been better prepared while questioning whether the president has made similar or worse errors on the global stage.
