Charlie Kirk Breaks Down Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Three Most Revealing Moments on Policy and Government
Charlie Kirk dissects three memorable moments from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that reveal her grasp of foreign policy, healthcare economics, and basic government structure. From her stumbling response on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to her claim that universal healthcare would eliminate funerals, Kirk examines statements that highlight the congresswoman's understanding of complex policy issues. He saves his favorite for last: her confusion about the three branches of government, calling them "chambers" including "the one where the president works."
Charlie Kirk presents what he calls Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "greatest hits"—three moments that stand out in her public commentary on major issues. Kirk's analysis focuses on statements the congresswoman has made regarding foreign policy, healthcare, and the structure of American government.
Number Three: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Kirk plays back Ocasio-Cortez's response when asked about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the clip, she responds: "Oh well you know you got like um Israel which is like occupying like Palestine like and it's like really hard to like understand all the settlements and stuff like that." Kirk emphasizes her use of the word "occupying" to describe Israel's position regarding Palestine, noting this as her stated position on the conflict.
Number Two: Healthcare Without Funerals
Kirk's second highlight comes from an interview with Chris Cuomo, whom he describes as "not exactly like the hardest-hitting journalist for leftists." When asked how she would pay for a thirty-two trillion dollar healthcare plan, Ocasio-Cortez offered an unexpected explanation. According to Kirk, she suggested that people wouldn't have to have funerals anymore under her healthcare plan. Kirk emphasizes that this was an actual statement, calling it "a core position of the Democrat Party." He expresses his interpretation that under her vision of universal healthcare, there would be no more funerals.
The Top Spot: Three Chambers of Government
Kirk saves what he considers the best moment for last. During what he describes as a Periscope session, Ocasio-Cortez discussed taking back "the three chambers of government." Kirk quotes her as saying: "Oh you know we got to go take back the three chambers of government it's like oh you know you got like the house in the Senate and the one where the president works or whatever."
Kirk breaks down what he sees as the fundamental error in this statement, pointing out that the United States has three branches of government—not chambers. He reminds his audience: "You got the legislative branch, the executive... there's that's the one you work in okay like this is the one that makes law." His reaction to this moment is pointed: "As Ocasio Cortez my gosh lord help us all."
