A CNN panel erupted into argument Tuesday night over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>\u2019s performance at the Munich Security Conference.<\/p>\n

“Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary<\/a> didn\u2019t hold back in his criticism of the congresswoman\u2019s performance, eventually calling the rest of the panel “nuts” to close out the episode.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s missteps on the world stage have been widely criticized after she claimed Venezuela was “below the equator” and appeared to struggle with a question about Taiwan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RUBIO SHINES ON GLOBAL STAGE WHILE AOC, WHITMER, AND NEWSOM TAKE HEAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Washington Post editorial board wrote she seemed “out of depth<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s not a partisan issue. She was terrible. Get over it!” O\u2019Leary said Tuesday on CNN’s “NewsNight.”<\/p>\n

His blunt comments were met with opposition from other members of the panel, including “The View” host Ana Navarro,<\/a> podcast host Leigh McGowan and journalist Cari Champion.<\/p>\n

AOC’S MUNICH ‘STUMBLES’ DRAW CRITICISM FROM LIBERAL CRITICS ADMITTING COMMENTS WERE ‘NOT GREAT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

They defended AOC’s performance as “not terrible,” while one panelist admitted she was only “terrible for 20 seconds.” O\u2019Leary rejected that characterization, asking the group if they were “kidding.”<\/p>\n

Champion then labeled O\u2019Leary “condescending,” before CNN host Abby Phillip<\/a> tried to cut him off.<\/p>\n

“The reality is, Kevin, is that she was taking a beat, and yes, she wasn\u2019t great for less than 20 seconds, if you ask me,” Champion said.<\/p>\n

“I thought she was doing something that the President of the United States rarely does and that\u2019s think before she speaks,” she added.<\/p>\n

CNN RATINGS DOWN BIGLY FROM 2017 ‘TRUMP BUMP’ THROUGH 2025 AMID CHANGING MEDIA LANDSCAPE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The arguments resumed later in the episode, when O\u2019Leary used his final word to tell the panel they\u2019re “all nuts.”<\/p>\n

Navarro and O\u2019Leary continued to argue until Phillip eventually told O\u2019Leary, “If you don’t have anything to say, just say that. I won’t come to you next time.”<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez was joined in Munich by California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a>, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Arizona Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly.<\/p>\n

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman criticized her comments questioning U.S. support for Israel and accusing the Jewish state of committing “genocide<\/a>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
