Democrats aren’t known for having the most common sense.
And this time, it came back to bite them when they decided to provide AOC a speech slot at the DNC Convention.
Unsurprisingly, her speech was laden with radical socialist rhetoric.
But what came as a shock is who she decided to nominate for President.
Hint, it wasn’t Joe Biden!
No, AOC decided to use her minute in the limelight to nominate Bernie Sanders for President.
Ouch!
Check out the full story from the New York Post:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only got a minute to speak at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night but she made it count as a warning that Joe Biden should not ignore the party’s far-left wing, nominating socialist Bernie Sanders and making no mention of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
“I hereby second the nomination for Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the United States of America,” the New York Democratic socialist said at the end of her 96-second 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.
“In fidelity and gratitude to a mass people’s movement working to establish 21st-century social, economic, and human rights, including guaranteed health care for all people in the United States,” she began, describing the US economy as one of “unsustainable brutality” and “explosive inequalities of wealth.”
Twitter quickly became ablaze in the minutes after her speech, with the term “Did AOC” trending as people tried to make sense of the speech.
