Sky News host Danica De Giorgio blasts Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calling her “not the sharpest tool” and questioning her future presidential viability. “She’s certainly not the sharpest tool as they say … on the world stage, I remember a couple of months ago, she was asked a question … and she just fumbled the answer,” Ms De Giorgio said. “It was actually uncomfortable to watch, so this is a woman who can’t give a straight answer on very basic foreign policy. “Good luck to her if that’s her plan for 2028.”
