to be fair, AOC didn't give a "word salad", she just complete froze and had no idea what to say. The topic of Taiwan is not new and it's an issue that congress has discussed at length. She could've at least spouted out some generic talking points.
Imagine if you will, an ex-bartender, Representative
in Congress with a degree in International Relations,
attends an international conference in Munich and
delivers word salad answers regarding Venezuela,
Taiwan, and even the origin of the north American

dumb blonde jokes, who makes Kamala look like a
genius, and who thinks she can be president of the
most powerful nation ever, with nuclear weapons! Welcome

I think,
