EXCERPT:

HOOVER: "You used the term 'occupation of Palestine.' What did you mean by that?"

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Oh, I think what I meant is like the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas, and in places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to their housing and homes."

HOOVER: "Do you think you can expand on that?"

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Yeah, I think I just also — I am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue."
