"The View" hosts slammed Savannah Chrisley during her week as a guest host on the show over a false claim she made about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being the Democratic Party's presidential pick in the next election.
For the Wednesday, Feb. 18 episode of the ABC political talk series, the hot topics discussion focused on a response from the New York congresswoman to a question about whether she supports potential U.S. involvement in the Taiwan-China conflict.
At the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Feb. 13, Ocasio-Cortez, who also goes by AOC, said, "I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point, and we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation."
The conflict in Asia centers on China's view that Taiwan is a breakaway province that rightfully belongs under Beijing's control, while Taiwan rejects this claim and argues it functions as a sovereign, democratic society.
On Dec. 29, China deployed troops, warships, fighter jets, and artillery in exercises encircling the island, simulating strikes on land and sea targets and rehearsing a blockade of Taiwan's major ports.
