Babs echoes some of the weakest corporate-media talking-points attacks on AOC I’ve ever seen, from the Wall Street Journal here: > [@Frontrunners for Democratic presidential nomination in 2028](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/frontrunners-for-democratic-presidential-nomination-in-2028/1013036/1456): > > AOC has been brought up, although I’m not sure if she’s planning a run in 2028. If she is, she’d better brush up on her foreign policy first; she was in Munich to show off her foreign policy chops, but it was a bit of a fumble, with her flubbing a question about Taiwan: [https://www.wsj.com/opinion/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-taiwan-china-munich-security-conference-4c907430?gaa\_at=eafs&gaa\_n=AWEtsqf28ntH51Vc0y5Fl6tW2vAQjBWPeUPejY8TnM0rTLRA4oF2Ue6fSPsIvAq3ISk%3D&gaa\_ts=6993d590&gaa\_sig=SofZiC6sEvknm…](https://www.wsj.com/opinion/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-taiwan-china-munich-security-conference-4c907430?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqf28ntH51Vc0y5Fl6tW2vAQjBWPeUPejY8TnM0rTLRA4oF2Ue6fSPsIvAq3ISk%3D&gaa_ts=6993d590&gaa_sig=SofZiC6sEvknm2ctQRj3XSvXgXXk-9rjORnqUusBgCPCWwLE7aPBxlXHUYl8n-_01poInEiu-fs4TzVIAjTDlg%3D%3D) Oh no, she gave a generic answer! And Babs is _concerned_ she may not have the foreign policy chops! Thanks you so much for bringing this important issue to our attention. We surely can’t survive if Democratic politicians give generic answers to questions! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-babale/1016738)._
