.AOC, who gave brief remarks at DNC2020 on Tuesday, chided NBC News for a tweet that she called “malicious and misleading”
: “I hereby second the nomination of Sen. Bernard Sanders os Vermont for president of the United States of America.”After her remarks, she explained the process on Twitter. Rather than a snub of Biden, her speech for Sanders was a part of convention procedure.“If you were confused, no worries! Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold,” she wrote. “I was asked to 2nd the nom for Sen. Sanders for roll call.
The nomination is a procedural requirement of the convention. Ocasio-Cortez has previously endorsed Biden, & her speech was similar in length to other nominating speeches.”“You waited several hours to correct your obvious and blatantly misleading tweet,” she wrote on Twitter. “It sparked an enormous amount of hatred and vitriol, & now the misinfo you created is circulating on other networks. All to generate hate-clicks from a pre-recorded, routine procedural motion.
