AOC just got SCHOOLED by basic geography, pontificating at Munich that we "can’t just capture the leaders of nations like Venezuela because they are below the equator"!
"You know, we look at what happened in Venezuela, for example. It is not a—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."
Speaking of Munich, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went there hoping to raise her profile in international affairs for a future presidential run. But her trip to Munich worked out about as well as Napoleon’s trip to Russia (we make that reference because we assume our readers will get it, but there’s no way AOC will.)
Yesterday, we reported on some of the embarrassingly ignorant things she said that many analysts are now predicting will sink her White House ambitions. But it turns out that was only the tip of the iceberg. So here’s a round-up of “Dumb Things AOC Said,” which could become a regular – or even daily – feature.
1. “Whiteness is imaginary.” In what she apparently thought was a profound statement, AOC declared, “There’s a very big difference between whiteness and national -- like your actual culture. Whiteness is an imaginary thing. Being German is real. Being Italian is real, being English…”
If whiteness is imaginary, then why have leftists like AOC been blaming it for every problem on Earth for the past 10 years?
2. She attempted to mock Rubio by smugly snarking, “My favorite part is he said cowboys are rooted in Spain. Uhh, speak to Mexicans and African slaves!” Fact check: Cowboys (or Vaqueros) are rooted in Spain. Horses were extinct in America until the Spanish brought them back. Those Mexican and black cowboys came much later, riding the descendants of the horses the Spanish imported.
Sean Davis of the Federalist tweeted, “She is named Cortez and yet is totally clueless about how Mexico came to have horses. Imagine being named after the man who brought horses to the Americas and not knowing that.”
3. Being a good socialist (if there is such a thing), AOC excitedly endorsed imposing a wealth tax if she becomes President. She was immediately corrected by an Argentinian official who described how socialist wealth taxes destroyed her nation’s economy because the wealth flees and you’re just left with the tax.
(FYI: According to an analysis by the National Taxpayers Union, if you confiscated 100% of the wealth of the top 1% of earners in the US, it would run for the government for four months.)
4. On Trump’s arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, AOC said we can’t just “kidnap a head of state and engage in acts of war just because the nation is below the equator.”
Fact check: Venezuela is entirely above the Equator.
In a subscriber-only column at Townhall.com, Derek Hunter notes that AOC was sold to us as a cum laude Boston University BA grad with a double major in economics and international relations. Yet she was also pushed as a working class minimum wage bartender with no insurance. So he asks, with that degree and all her DEI check boxes, how could she not have landed a decent job in liberal NYC?
His conclusion: “How badly must she have come off in (job) interviews?” Well, now we know. She sure blew the job interview for President.

Marco Rubio has been tasked to teach AOC about Cowboy’s and the Equator.
