Joy Behar’s latest gush-fest on The View has her crowning AOC’s Munich Security Conference remarks on Taiwan as Mensa-level genius, a glowing upgrade from the intellectual pea-shooter she apparently reserves for Donald Trump. For context, AOC stepped into the geopolitical ring over the weekend, delivering what Behar hailed as a razor-sharp takedown of isolationist vibes—implicitly jabbing at Trump’s America First foreign policy that prioritizes U.S. sovereignty over endless overseas entanglements. Behar, never one to miss a chance to polish her progressive darlings, contrasted this with Trump’s off-the-cuff style, framing AOC’s scripted summit soundbites as Einstein-esque next to the former president’s unfiltered rallies. It’s peak Hollywood-left theater: elevating a bartender-turned-congresswoman’s foreign policy TED Talk while dismissing a guy who actually brokered Middle East peace deals without firing a shot.

But let’s zoom out to the 2A lens, where this Taiwan tussle hits home harder than Behar’s hot takes. Trump’s MAGA doctrine echoes the Founders’ vision of armed neutrality—strong borders, a robust domestic arsenal, and zero apology for putting American gun owners’ rights first over subsidizing Taiwan’s defense indefinitely. AOC’s hawkish pivot? It’s straight from the globalist playbook that funnels billions into foreign aid while demonizing AR-15s as assault weapons of mass distraction back home. Implications for the Second Amendment community are stark: Behar’s Mensa worship signals the left’s escalating war on sovereignty, where praising AOC means cheering policies that weaken U.S. deterrence abroad *and* erode self-defense rights at home. If Taiwan falls due to our limp-wristed commitments, expect the same playbook for America’s shores—disarm the citizens, outsource the fight.

This isn’t just celebrity snark; it’s a cultural bellwether. Pro-2A patriots should see Behar’s bias as exhibit A in why Trump’s unpolished truth-telling resonates: it defends the armed republic against elite gaslighting. While AOC postures for the Davos crowd, Trump’s record—border walls, energy independence, and no new wars—kept America fortified without begging for Mensa membership. Stay vigilant, Second Amendment warriors; the real high-IQ move is safeguarding our God-given rights from these summit sophists.
