Sape

Our forefathers were radical. Radical doesn’t mean it’s bad it means it’s different than the status quo. Does anyone accept this is productive or normal most don’t. This can’t be as good as we can do.

Radical? LOL! She's an attention hound like Trump! She runs her mouth, acts inappropriately or immaturely for the office that she now holds & has done NOTHING for the country or its people!

Sounds like she's trying to compete with Kim Kardashian - making herself the story instead of what she is trying to advocate. She's young & hopefully will learn that patience is a virtue. I don't agree with her socialist agenda but a fresh new face is what the Dems need.

Long history of lying about your upbringing to get diversity points. Gross.

She’s not radical, she’s naive.

Tribe. Radicalized. Inexperienced. Extremist. Leftist. Marxist. Socialist.

In the battle between 'call me a radical' and 'call me a nationalist,' I'll go with the radical.

Have you read about the new green deal? Radical is an understatement.

Radically not understanding much of anything.

In the words of Michelangelo 'She's radical.'

Ooo, look, she’s got her “think’in glasses” on.

She isnt radical, she’s a socialist traitor. All socialists or traders.

Other people in US History labeled radical: Sam Adams, Thomas Paine, Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Angela Davis. Pretty good company.😎

Much much better than calling oneself a Nationalist.

Im calling you too much energy and very lil experience!!!

If you make white people uncomfortable you are radical.. BE RADICAL.

Radically ignorant.

When you are called out by Whoopi Goldberg you have definitely pissed in your corn flakes

She is not 'radical'. Trump is radical. She is simply stupid.

MLK was considered radical in his time.

She's Sanders mistress. She's pseudo communism.

What is your obsession with tearing down this woman? Too outspoken?

Love it..

🙄

I have a different word to describe her, Lunatic
