Ana Kasparian said in an episode of “The Young Turks” that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) showed “a devastating level of weakness” in past votes related to Israel after a public exchange between the two on social media.
“I’m sick of AOC being incredibly weak on things that she shouldn’t be weak on,” Kasparian said. “Especially at a time when overwhelmingly Democratic voters are against what Israel is doing.”
Kasparian’s remarks came during a segment in which she walked through a recent interaction with Ocasio-Cortez on X,after responding critically to the congresswoman’s post about a disrupted plot targeting Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani.
Kasparian said her response to Ocasio-Cortez was intentionally sharp and rooted in frustration over what she described as inconsistency on foreign policy votes.
“You should vote to send Israel more money for weapons,” Kasparian said. “Obviously I’m being sarcastic there.”
The segment then shifted to Ocasio-Cortez’s past voting record, which Kasparian argued reflects a pattern of backing away from stronger opposition under pressure.
“No one can force you to change your vote,” Kasparian said. “You changed your vote because you got a little bit of pressure, and you didn’t like the pressure.”

This is bullshit smear work in hopes AOC will lose popularity. She’s far more in tune with what average Americans want than most other candidates, and the right wing/Israel want her to fall.
It won’t work.
The ironic thing though, i think actually a lot of people on the left believe that aOC is even to Friendly toward israel. In fact a lot of the criticism you see these days of AOC is the fact that she does seem to be so friendly toward aoc.
I can’t understand what you’re saying. Your post doesn’t make sense in English. Try reading it out loud?
Right, I was using speech to text and it was mangled…
I meant to say that the irony is that AOC’s biggest critics tend to say she is too friendly to Israel and is not a true critic of the country.
Isn’t this just part of what it means to be a Democrat? Only go on left wing media outlets, refuse to face tough questions from the right.
Yes, and sadly, one of the things I dislike about Trump is the fact that he can somehow provide some justification for this policy by being more critical of journalist he doesn’t like and showing favoritism to journalists who are friendly to him. But overall I like trump.
But the way our country has become increasingly polarized is undeniable.
