Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for what he called “embarrassing” moments at the Munich Security Conference, even calling one instance “the most uncomfortable 20 seconds of television” he had ever seen. Vance made these remarks during an appearance on “The Story,” where his comments about Ocasio-Cortez’s performance at the conference drew significant attention.
Vance said he believes Ocasio-Cortez, who is often mentioned as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, is simply “mouthing slogans” written by someone else. He questioned whether anyone genuinely believes she has “very thoughtful ideas about the global world order” or about U.S. policies in Asia or Europe. President Trump echoed a similar view, saying Ocasio-Cortez’s responses were “not a good look” for the country on the global stage.
