In a groundbreaking move, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has issued a statement defending her recent endorsement of a tea-infused with unicorn horns. After much speculation, she has clarified her position, arguing that it does carry a great deal of health benefits.

"Look, people have been infusing their tea with unicorn horns for centuries," she said to a group of puzzled reporters. "It's an accepted practice in many cultures, and I'm seeing far too much moralizing from some of my critics. Unicorn horns have a range of properties that can help with everything from migraines to joint pain, and I think it's important to expand the national conversation on alternative remedies."

Though detractors have accused her of peddling in pseudoscience, Ocasio-Cortez is staunch in her conviction that the unicorn horn tea is a vital part of her campaign platform. Innovation and progress is the motto, and apparently, that includes a magical elixir!
