Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams NBC News for 'totally false and divisive' clickbait on her DNC speech "The Democratic National Convention formally nominated Joe Biden as its presidential candidate on Tuesday night, but the roll call of states and territories also included the votes for runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a prominent Sanders supporter, seconded his nomination, and this is how NBC News recapped her short nominating speech: "In one of the shortest speeches of the DNC, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse Joe Biden." After being criticized for political illiteracy, NBC News deleted the tweet and issued a clarification about how conventions work."
AOC Uses 60-Second Speaking Spot at DNC to Endorse Bernie Sanders
AOC nominates Bernie Sanders, snubs Joe Biden in DNC address . . . "In her socialist rhetoric-heavy address, she spoke about Sanders’ movement to “repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia” and not once addressed Biden, 77, who will be crowned the party’s nominee."
AOC Learns For One Brief Moment What It’s Like to Be a Republican "Last night, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave a 60 second speech at the DNC that turned some heads. As my colleague Jennifer Van Laar shared, the time limit was a bit of a snub given how highly the freshman Congressional member thinks of herself. But what really confused some people was when she ended her segment by endorsing Bernie Sanders and never mentioning Joe Biden.
"Now, because I’ve always thought AOC is an opportunist more desperate for power than revolution, I figured this was a procedural thing and was not actually any sort of snub. Indeed, it turned out to be a hand-out to the Bernie supporters and was requested by the DNC.
"NBC News didn’t include that context in their coverage, though, instead presenting it as AOC going rogue. They then offered this clarification." . . .
