Airhead AOC takes us on a like, really neat tour, of community gardens;
"It's, like, totally awesome and stuff, to be like, growing stuff and like, composting is so impo-nt and stuff. Like, yucca is like, literally more woke than collyflour because like, colonialism"

Sounds very much like a 15 year old school girl.
Are you calling TSwizzle a 15 year old school girl?
As far as I can tell, TSwizzle did not provide a direct quote from AOC, but rather paraphrased her in his own words, and put quote marks around the paraphrase to make it look like she actually said that.
Here are some of the direct AOC quote from the article TSwizzle linked:
'What I love too is growing plants that are culturally familiar to the community. It's so important.'
'A core component of the Green New Deal is having all of these projects make sense in a cultural context, and it's an area that we get the most pushback on because people say, "Why do you need to do that? That's too hard."
'But when you really think about it, when someone says that it's "too hard" to do a green space that grows Yucca instead of, I don't know, cauliflower or something - what you're doing is you're taking a colonial approach to environmentalism.'
