Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , 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.
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 recited it during his first floor speech to Congress in 1996.But I know that I must use it.But eternity is in it.
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 , whom she endorsed during his race for the Democratic nomination. 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.”
Too much!
Yeah, and that's at least two minutes longer than she deserves. She is a disgrace!
😷silencing a POC w/ a cervix. sounds like TheDemocrats
AOC KEEP SPEAKING UNTIL YOU ARE DONE!
Ha! Ha! even her own party is tired of listening to her!
59 seconds too long
Awe. Who cares
Poor little AOC
Just because your prominent and outspoken doesn’t mean you say shit that makes sense. Who the fuck wants to hear her talk anyways. Like a whining baby.
Um . . . Well . . . Like . . . You know
Her own party doesn’t even want to hear her talk. 🤦♂️ They are trying to limit the amount of damage she does to their brand each time she opens her mouth to sixty seconds worth...
Seems fair. That's about 45 seconds more than she'll need to say nothing of substance.
Good time to take a 60 second bathroom break
AOC for President 2024!!!
Way too much time!! AOC
Good. Not sure why the United States should be taking advice from her.
60 seconds to long.
