Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez justified her questionable grammar and speech mannerisms in front of the House Financial Services Committee today, citing her testimony as proof of her unwavering dedication to authenticity and disregard for elitism.

While many times referring to politicians and individuals as "me," and answering questions with phrases such as "yes and no," AOC insisted that, for far too long, grammar and diction has been elevated ahead of more, "real" and "material" issues of current times. While phrases like "Me, myself, and I" may sometimes be grammatically incorrect, Ocasio-Cortez argued that a little bit of grammatical looseness may be necessary in order to make real and impactful changes in the world.
