Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by claiming nan Boston University postgraduate “didn’t do good ... successful college.”

Trump deed retired astatine nan Bronx Democrat, a longtime target of his rhetorical barbs, for a disastrously awkward reply she’d fixed days earlier during an quality astatine nan Munich Security Conference aft she was asked astir America’s defense committedness to Taiwan.
