As Twitchy told you, earlier this month, stunning and brave Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clammed up when she was asked if the Maduro regime is legitimate. “I defer to caucus leadership on how we navigate this.” Really tough talk from a tough girl.

Well, while a cat may have run away with AOC’s tongue, Nikki Haley’s not afraid to call out a murderous, tyrannical regime. So she’s most certainly not afraid to call out AOC for refusing to condemn Maduro:

When a reporter asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if the Maduro regime is legitimate, she offered this non-answer: “I defer to caucus leadership on how we navigate this.” A simple “no” would have sufficed. https://t.co/GIGQd7ffOh — Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) May 15, 2019

It’s one word. Surely, even someone as moronic as AOC is capable of giving such a simple answer to a simple question.

Why is it so difficult for some people to unequivocally reject a tyrannical socialist dictator? — ᴾᴿᴬᴳ ? (@pragmatometer) May 15, 2019

That’s the thing: It’s difficult for AOC to unequivocally reject Maduro because she doesn’t reject him. Maybe we’ve found the one thing thing she can’t lie about, so she’ll try to just avoid telling the truth instead.

Amb. Haley, thank you for the support! I would imagine that it is hard for some of the Dems that are pushing a socialist agenda to denounce a regime that “in theory” is based on the same ideas that they propose. Hypocrisy is running rampant on the other side of the the isle. — Juan (@JuanRGomez) May 15, 2019
