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.”
