It was a striking moment from a self-assured legislator who is normally nimble at answering impromptu questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, and conservative critics seized on the stumble online.

Literally the next line in the article. But let’s just shit on mainstream media! Surely there’s a conspiracy here and they are lying to us!!!1

Edit: or should we got with the first sentence of the following paragraph?

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was quicker to respond to questions about other foreign policy matters

Or 2 paragraphs later, the silly lamestream media attacks the left again!

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sounded strongest when drawing a direct contrast with Mr. Trump’s vision of the world.

Is this an incredible article? Not really. Is it crazy biased? Also not really
