"So, in the cause of intellectual honesty, Mehdi Hasan, would you say that what we heard was a load of gibberish word salad nonsense? I think what we heard was not her finest hour in terms of articulating an answer on a very complicated subject, Hasan began, causing Morgan to burst out laughing. Hasan then denied Morgan's comparing AOC with Trump. It's not equivalent to Trump, Piers! Hasan exclaimed."
"Trump was asked about Taiwan a few months ago, and he couldn't answer the question. He said, 'It's a secret. I can't tell you what my position is,' Hasan said, adding sarcastically, 'Wow, that's much better! Hasan said Trump's sentences make AOC look like the most eloquent woman in history. Have you heard Donald Trump rant about shark attacks, about the size of Arnold Palmer's penis, about toilet flushes? AOC's never said anything like that!"
Piers Morgan played a clip of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez struggling to answer how the United States should respond if China moved to invade Taiwan and mocked the response as 'word salad.' Mehdi Hasan acknowledged the answer was not AOC's finest hour but rejected equivalence with Donald Trump, saying Trump often offered far less coherent responses. Hasan cited Trump's 'It's a secret. I can't tell you what my position is' remark and pointed to bizarre Trump references about shark attacks, Arnold Palmer and toilet flushes, plus a Davos gaffe confusing Iceland and Greenland, calling that behavior embarrassing and unfit for high office.
