She never took the time to look too deeply into the Palestinian issue, so she doesn’t know much about it beyond a few key talking points. Still, she’s learned that trashing Israel is a great way to pander to her supporters. So, during a recent interview, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decided to trot out the saying she’d been hearing for so long. It… didn’t go well.
