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.”

Impressive word salad. Wonder if she can define any of them?

AOC obviously has “some screws loose”, as well as being a DUMB-bunny.

Per CNN: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s nomination of Bernie Sanders for president was standard DNC procedure, political journalists explain

Would also explain why she only got one minute.

This was pro forma. Crazy Bernie met a certain delegate threshold.

Yup ..... she’s a deluded, hypocritical moron for sure. And while she may have some pajama-boy, beta as her partner, every day she sees MEN and wishes. Just like those MEN wish for one time.

Probably not. I think she understands it all to mean, “Give us power so we can shove people around.”

Regretting that decision? LOL- major understatement.

Democrats should have done to AOC what they did to Michelle Obama - given her a bunch of silly talking points to 'rewrite in her own words'...

Which reminds me, it's OK for Michelle Obama to 'wear white women's hair' just like it's OK for white women to 'plump up their lips'... it's really NOT racist...
