Democrats Gave AOC Just ONE MINUTE to Speak at Convention - She Used It to Throw Biden Under the Bus

When they were handing out speaking slots for their convention this week, Democrat leaders thought it would be a good idea to diss rising far-left progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by giving her just 60 SECONDS to speak.

I'm pretty sure they are now regretting that decision -- BIGLY.

That's because AOC (D-NY) used her one minute of time to SNUB presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden --- and instead to nominate Bernie Sanders for president.

Ocasio-Cortez began by stating, “Good evening, bienvenidos, and thank you to everyone here today endeavoring toward a better, more just future for our country and our world, in fidelity and gratitude to a mass people’s movement working to establish 21st-century social, economic and human rights, including guaranteed health care, higher education, living wages and labor rights for all people in the United States.”

“A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia,” she continued. “And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past. A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few, at the expense of long-term stability for the many. And who organized a historic, grass roots campaign to reclaim our democracy.”

She’ll never grow up-unless the voters throw her out and give her the chance to live a real life.

Most likely she’ll keep on convincing herself about her passionately held convictions, eventually becoming a champion for one or several of them.

Washington is where people with half-baked ideas go to get their brains embalmed.

So, this would be the equivalent of J.C. Watts seconding the nomination of Pat Buchanan in ‘96.

When are we going to repair the wounds of anti-white violence, terrorism, and discrimination?

To listen to the MSM, this election is a slam dunk.

Funny, it doesn't feel that way. Trouble in Paradise?

Once again FNC/FNS put on their team of experts: Brett Bair, Chris Wallace, Dana Perina, Juan Willaims and Britt Hume all giddy about the Biden’s performance just anded.

For about 10 minutes after the DNC.

Once again like last night their quotes will be repeated over and over by Dems.

I have to say this....

She’s hot....but dumber than a box of f*cking rocks and completely oblivious to reality....but she’s hot and her looks are what got her there.

However....

foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past............the past 3 years, except for a handful of direct drone and missile strikes, have been the most peaceful in the last 3 decades or more. The President has bent over backwards to avoid getting us involved in things, just like he promised. If any of the last 4 were in office, the world would be burning.

A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few .......... well I guess she’s ready to take on Silicon Valley, Gates, Alphabet, Apple, GE, , Steyer, Buffett, Wall St, the Swamp, and all of Hollywood, since that it where the money is. I wish her luck. I wonder how fast the Social Justice Democrats, that propped her up and got her elected, will get rid of her in favor of someone that is a bit more favorable to the Liberal Money Machine.

She didn’t throw Biden under the bus.

She threw a spitball at a passing train.

Hey, I’m one of Bernie’s primary voters who will be voting for President Trump in November (in person, thank you very much). Obviously, I was doing a version of Rush’s Operation Chaos - I wanted Bernie to be the nominee or, failing that, to cause as much trouble as possible. Given the $hitshow that is the Dem convention, my wishes are coming true (and, no, I’m not claiming credit - I’m just enjoying it).

Bernie nominated Biden and she seconded it. But to all that were watching it sounded like a hit on Biden and a backing of Bernie.
