(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.-N.Y.) said in a video conversation she had online on June 5 that she embraces the term radical and that what it really means is that you get to the root of problems.
That word has just kind of been coopted as though you are just kind of some - I dont know--loony-tune out here, she said.
But what it really means is if you are radical you get to the root of problems, she said.
Which is why I have never been offended and I embrace that term because it means that we believe the systemic problems require systemic solutions, said Ocasio-Cortez.
Here is a transcript of the part of Rep. Ocasio-Cortezs video conversation where she talked about embracing the term radical:

Cartoons are beyond portraying her.
There’s the new buzzword du jour again! “Systemic.” She scored big by using it twice in one sentence.
Someone needs to get to the root of HER problem, which is Marxism apparently.
Hopefully this one will be primaried, and then forgotten about.
Shut up horse face! I am utterly repulsed by this equine retromingent buffoon.
AOC: Mouth in high gear...brain in neutral
Yeah but she lost some points for not using "intersectional."
The “root of the problem” is that some people think they deserve free stuff without understanding the work that goes into making that “free” stuff. The “root of the probem” is both the welfare pigs and the government bureaucrats who are parasites on Normal Americans,
God I hope some in her district wake up and replace this loony toon - We all deserve better in the District of corruption.
As usual she is involved with a hit and run with the truth.
The etymology of the word is from the Latin for root, but in no way relating to getting to the root of a problem.
In her use of the word it is more pulling it out, roots and all.
Radicals create problems and don’t solve them.
So thus they are indeed at the root of the problem - they are the root of the problem.
Cortez was a conquistador.
She should change her name and atone for her ancestors sins.
Which is why said radicals tend to be first against the wall when the Revolution comes.
Dear AOC: The root of the problem is SIN. The only solution is Jesus Christ.
Don’t count this chick out. She could easily be put back in office. The district she comes from is populated by people dumber than she is.
At the same time, square roots, cube roots, indeed anything under a radical - tend to be irrational.
Miss Zanti Misfit here recently had a problem with the expression “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps’’. She she failed to understand the expression refers to girding ones self to commit to doing hard work, soul searching or a personal inventory of one’s abilities and applying them and that fact that boots, at one time and still do have two small straps sown inside to put them on she felt the whole expression and it’s concept was utterly bogus.
