Left-Wing Piers Morgan Guest Throws Down With Fellow Liberal Over AOC Word Salad': That Answer Was Terrible, And You Know It!'

"Cohen said AOC's answer on whether the U.S. should commit troops to defend Taiwan which has been ripped to shreds on X for being nothing more than word salad wasn't great, but it super unfair to mock her for it. That's not an easy question to answer, and yeah, she stammered in the beginning. And God knows we've all stammered in the beginning of difficult questions, Cohen said."

"We need to have higher standards for Democrats, she said. She said she agreed with Cohen on his claims about the Trump administration, but that doesn't mean AOC's answer was smart. In regard to Democratic candidates, we have to stop providing cover for their mediocrity, Kasparian said. That answer was terrible, and you know it! Morgan exclaimed Yes! as Kasparian made the remark."

"So tell me what you think would have been a more acceptable answer, Cohen asked her. Kasparian said a sensible answer would have been what Cohen just said, but that was something he read from AOC's post-conference talking points, not what she actually said at the conference, she said. It was just a bunch of word salad nonsense, because she's not an expert on foreign policy, Kasparian said. This is a weak spot for her. Kasparian continued, She didn't know what she was talking about, she was blindsided by the question, and it doesn't look good. Let's just be"

Ana Kasparian sharply criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's response to a question about defending Taiwan, calling the answer terrible, incoherent, and a foreign-policy weak spot. Brian Tyler Cohen defended Ocasio-Cortez, saying the question was difficult, she initially stammered, and her call for diplomacy to avoid escalation was acceptable and preferable to more extreme rhetoric. The exchange occurred on Piers Morgan's show and grew heated, with Kasparian insisting Democrats must stop excusing mediocrity and arguing that Cohen's post-conference talking points differed from Ocasio-Cortez's onstage remarks. Kasparian said Ocasio-Cortez appeared blindsided and lacking expertise.
