Biden "bitch slaps" AOC

[HedonistForever]

If the Progressives of the Democrat Party weren't pissed enough, the DNC desides to make them even madder.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gets Just 1 Minute To Deliver Remarks At The DNC

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), one of the most prominent and outspoken progressives in the Democratic Party, will have just one minute to deliver remarks at the virtual Democratic National Convention next week.

The lawmaker’s address will be 60 seconds long, her spokesperson told HuffPost. She’s scheduled to speak on Tuesday. She will prerecord the address from her base in New York and write it herself with the blessing of the Democratic National Committee, according to Business Insider, which first reported the news.

Ocasio-Cortez eloquently acknowledged the limited time slot, tweeting a poem by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, “I have only just a minute.” The late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) recited it during his first floor speech to Congress in 1996.
“I only have a minute. Sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, I did not choose it, But I know that I must use it. Give account if I abuse it. Suffer, if I lose it. Only a tiny little minute, But eternity is in it.” - Dr. Benjamin E. Mays


The convention, where presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is slated to formally accept his presidential nomination, will be a dramatically scaled-back version of an event that typically draws tens of thousands of people to mark the start of the general election campaign.

Rumblings that Ocasio-Cortez might be left off the DNC speaking roster altogether galled progressives and set off a debate among Democrats in the lead-up to the decision. Politico reported last week that her supporters felt Ocasio-Cortez deserved a prominent speaking spot, given her role leading Biden’s climate task force and her ability to energize younger voters. However, some moderate Democrats reportedly expressed concerns a prime-time speaking slot would fuel the Trump campaign’s efforts to cast Biden as a vessel for the left.

Earlier this year, Ocasio-Cortez co-chaired Biden’s “unity” climate change task force with former Secretary of State John Kerry. She was appointed to the panel as a representative of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whom she endorsed during his race for the Democratic nomination.

“It would be stupid” not to give her a slot, Corbin Trent, a former top adviser to Ocasio-Cortez, told Politico. “She’s one of the best speakers the Democratic Party’s got.”

And Winnie Wong, a prominent activist and former adviser to the Sanders campaign, tweeted last week: “You want Bill Clinton to speak but maybe not AOC. Okay, dummies.”

The four-day convention will also feature remarks from Democrats like former first lady Michelle Obama, Sanders, Kerry, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois.

It appears that other members from the “Squad” of progressive first-time lawmakers ― Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) ― are not on the speaking schedule.


But guess which Republican has been chosen to speak.

Republican John Kasich Will Reportedly Speak At Democratic National Convention For Joe Biden

i saw reports on both points you raise .. that Kasich was going to speak, proving he's the RINO we all knew he was.

as for AOC only getting 1 minute .. well that's 59 seconds more than that stupid cunt deserves ..

and then there is this reaction ..


And Winnie Wong, a prominent activist and former adviser to the Sanders campaign, tweeted last week: “You want Bill Clinton to speak but maybe not AOC. Okay, dummies.”


sorry WinniePoo .. yeah i'd give a TWO TERM former President more time than some stumblebum radical like AOC who only got elected because her brother talked her into trying out during Saikat Chakrabarti's "casting call" for "talent".


BAHHAHAAAAAAAAA

[dilbert firestorm]

bet Kasich will change parties in his speech.

[oeb11]

DF - interesting thought. Kasich won't be welcome in Republican circles - that is for sure.

[Lou Spowells]

Kasich is a worthless idiot. Not as dumb as Biden though

[SecretE]

1 minute out of 4 days. Ouch.

remember Zell Miller?

he changed parties (democrat to republican) during the Bush43 administration and gave a speech at the 2nd bush43 republican convention.


Haven't heard anyone from the republican party give speech at a democrat convention. So Kaisch may be the first.

And a pre-recorded 60 seconds so her words can be screened.

[oeb11]

The DNC put AOC in her proper place - a minute is far more privilege than her "accomplishments" deserve.

Let her take her radical Bernie boys marxists out and boycott the DNC convention.

Let her start her own independent marxist party and split the DPST's party .

Her movement to marxism deserves her.

[dilbert firestorm]

isn't everyone getting a 1 minute speech limit?

[Oilrig]

AOC chased away 25,000 amazon jobs then called for defund police Both have backfired with NYPD endorsing the President

[HoeHummer]

Was that the Police department or the police union, big shooter?

I thought Trumps was against organized labor.

Maybe he needs to figure it out.
