She posted an update on her bluesky account around 5 hours ago and I don't think the clarification helped. She denies being an interventionist and says that she fired the advisor from her team. However she says that she still wants the US to sell arms to Ukraine and Taiwan. She even made a statement that US should end the "strategic ambiguity" policy on China, to adopt a firm Taiwan separatist policy.

You can't really put her into a box because her opinions are uniquely incorrect. She was endorsed by AIPAC Tracker, the anti-AIPAC group, on February 26 2026. She dominated the primary debate with anti-Israel positions. During the debate, she mocked AOC's "offensive vs defensive weapons" defense of Israel spending and then the very next day says that the US needs to provide defense to Taiwan. The logic is incoherent.

She really is doing vibes. The closest thing I can compare it to is Vaushism. I compare her to Vaush because they are both very online and Vaush had a positon around 7-8 years ago that he believed that the US should invade Israel to protect the Palestinians. Similarly, Kat seems to think that Israel's crimes are somehow separate from the US. I think this way of thinking comes from a delusion that the US has ever been a benevolent force around the world.

It’s actually relatively safe to accept couple of dozens anti entity dems, who support all other foreign policy imperialism (including venezuela ffs), then, when votes to maybe stop selling arms to entity inevitably fails, but to sell to taiwan succeeds you can say see even leftists agree.

Real interventionism position is supplying long range missiles to houthis and palestinians, for some mysterious reason i dont think self determination work there for her
