AOC Crashes Out On IG While Fiancé Snores Through It All | Drew Hernandez

Woke Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing intensified criticism after a halting answer on whether the United States should commit troops to defend Taiwan at the Munich Security Conference and a subsequent late‑night Instagram Live rant defending her foreign policy record.

In Munich, when asked directly if the U.S. “would and should” deploy troops to protect Taiwan from a Chinese attack, she delivered a botched response that characterized Taiwan policy as a long‑standing U.S. position and emphasized using economic and diplomatic tools to avoid ever reaching that scenario, without giving a clear yes‑or‑no.
​
Clips of the exchange, highlighting her repeated pauses and filler phrases, spread quickly across social media and conservative outlets, where commentators roasted the remarks as a “word salad” and questioned her readiness for the global stage and possible 2028 presidential ambitions.

Days later, Ocasio-Cortez used Instagram Live to argue that pausing before answering “one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues on earth” showed seriousness rather than ignorance, insisting critics were ignoring hours of her discussions on international affairs in Munich.
​
She contended that those assuming she lacks foreign‑policy knowledge because she hesitated on Taiwan have “gotten used to a president who never thinks before he speaks,” a pointed attack on President Donald Trump’s off‑the‑cuff style.

The Instagram video itself went viral in part because her fiancé could be heard audibly snoring in the background, prompting a wave of viewer comments joking that his sleep noises drowned out her defense and symbolized public boredom with her explanation.

Right‑leaning television hosts and influencers replayed the clip with the snoring on loop, mocking what they described as a raspy, rambling monologue and using it as fresh evidence that the congresswoman is out of her depth on national security matters.

Some Republicans, including Vice President J.D. Vance, seized on her original Taiwan answer as “embarrassing” and argued that it showed Democrats are unprepared to confront an increasingly assertive China and to make hard commitments in the Taiwan Strait.

President Trump has also taken “sharp jabs” at Ocasio-Cortez over her Munich appearance, contrasting her performance with his own improvisational approach and using the episode to galvanize supporters who see her as a symbol of progressive overreach.
