"Do you condemn Hamas" turned to "Do you agree this is not a genocide"

[bakarydrammeh]

If he doesn’t want to be called Genocide Joe, then let him stop supporting Genocide

[littlegipper]

That's not what she asked, answer the question

[sacramentofoodforest]

Imagine if she had the balls to just say “ yes”😂

[ChristianMontoya-bz]

Why can't politicians ever just answer the frikin' question!

[JC-justchillin]

Talk about skirting the question. She is honing her political skills, lol.

[compactinfinity]

I like how she doesn't directly respond to the question, dances around the accusation itself. Show her frustration, but "empathizes" with the people who do feel strongly about it. Calls them gazans instead of Palestinians. It really does show you what type of person she is.

Ngl "Genocide Joe" goes really hard

[FreeBird_]

Politicians and their word salads. Ugh.

[bebef]

aoc is the prime example of a true hypocrite.

[DungTran-enuu]

Don't pretend to be naive, you and Biden are on the same page ...Cortez ?

[rzrwiresunrise]

Some say learning to choose words wisely is a sign of maturity. Others call it selling out.

[rizoula]

To say that she is a disappointment is an understatement

[Jasonwesleythornton]

Had to pause her response, didn’t want to hear the donkey noises…. Time to elect new leaders who actually care about our country!

[pacmadman]

Q: Do you think Joe is supporting genocide.
A: Let me spew out some words that basically state the obvious

[briankavo]

She has become skilled at not answering the questions she is being asked in relation to the Middle East.

[rocha]

Hypocrite! She can’t call it a genocide!

[northwoods-dqdq]

The funniest part of this interview is when AOC says she thinks... jury is still out on that one 😂

[astrosoup]

It's not a matter of debate, or opinion. The word has a definition, and it applies to what Israel and Biden are doing.

[isthathingsharp]

It’s those soulless eyes and it’s like she’s trying to just say what you want to hear, but it’s not. So strange
