Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman appeared on “Jesse Watters Prime Time” recently to express his concerns about remarks made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) during the Munich Security Conference. When asked if he had seen her comments, Fetterman acknowledged he had, and he found her anti-Israel stance particularly troubling. He criticized her for accusing Israel of genocide while speaking in Germany, calling it an ignorant perspective.
Fetterman remarked that Ocasio-Cortez had faced ridicule for other statements, like her comments about Taiwan and the equator, suggesting that she struggles to recognize her shortcomings.
He did not specifically rebuke Ocasio-Cortez’s unclear position on whether the U.S. would defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression. However, he indicated that her hostile comments towards Israel reflected a troubling “corruption” within parts of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez had made headlines for claiming that U.S. aid to Israel facilitates acts of genocide.
Her criticism of Israel’s military actions against Hamas, following the October 7 terrorist attacks, incited considerable backlash from military and Middle East experts.
In a separate statement, Ocasio-Cortez spoke about U.S. obligations regarding its laws, specifically citing the Leahy Act, which conditions military assistance based on human rights records. She argued against unconditional assistance, stating it contributed to severe human rights violations and the loss of innocent lives in Gaza.
Fetterman, during his time on the show, advocated for a Democratic Party that welcomes diverse viewpoints, suggesting it shouldn’t cast out its members over minor disagreements. When asked about his thoughts on California Governor Gavin Newsom, he expressed a personal fondness for him but acknowledged their differences, highlighting the need for a “big tent” within the party.
Fetterman comments that AOC’s stance on Israel reveals ‘serious decay’ in the Democratic Party.
