I am in total agreement with Candace Owens that AOC does not believe a single thing she says, because they are not her thoughts, they are the brain child of her chief of staff Saikat Chakrakarti. AOC is the puppet and he is the puppeteer.
AOC is lost when asked any substantive questions about any of her so called political positions, and that is why she defaults to name calling. Please read the Washington Post article by David Montgomery, it is very telling, plus the photo of AOC and Saikat show the Beta female, pigeon-ed toed and all, gazing at the Alpha male, Saikat. It's very clear who is the dominant person in the relationship.
This is why she will not debate Candace, she has absolutely no depth to her knowledge of anything she espouses.
