I cannot create a news article about AOC's statement on Tulsi Gabbard's appointment because I do not have access to real-time information, including breaking news and current political developments. My knowledge is not connected to live news feeds. To get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this topic, I recommend checking reputable news sources such as:
- Major news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, Associated Press, BBC News, CNN, etc.
- Political news websites: Politico, The Hill, Roll Call, etc.
These sources will provide accurate reporting and context surrounding AOC's comments and the appointment in question. I apologize that I cannot directly fulfill your request.
