The New York lawmaker, a rising star in the Democratic Party, responded eloquently with a poem channeling the late Rep. Elijah Cummings.

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.

Can the movement behind AOC conquer New York?The latest iteration of the movement that boosted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the national stage will face its first citywide test in 2021, when New Yorkers elect a new mayor It is funny to me when AOC is called an extreme left politician when the reality is one of center / left ideology, as if she were a communist. She's not. In the US that ideological McCarthyism still persists. Is this a race to establish a new bottom? Anyone aware of the obvious decay and massive failure in democrat run cities? And now you are pushing an incompetent socialist, not that there are any competent socialists. Are there any sane, honest journalists left? That's the last thing New York City needs is more progressivism. They are in the slump they're in because of it.

She’s a smart women and black. Two things Trump hates. Somebody let JoeBiden know that his handlers have picked a running mate. Well since people now know who they can vote for that would make perfect sense...... duh.
