That was back on August 12, and even if the media somehow distorted the context of that tweet, there was immediate unhappiness about the short time, and not the context of what her remarks were intended for, which was to second the nomination of Bernie Sanders, she had plenty of time to correct the record

Mahalo, lapucelle.. I've seen more than a few posts Cha Aug 2020 #6

I think a bigger presence of AOC would have been positive for us Dems looking for a Progressive walkingman Aug 2020 #8

I was having to multi-task when it started tonight, but I thought AOC had a minute ALSO during the hlthe2b Aug 2020 #10

That was the "New Kind of Keynote" keynote address lapucelle Aug 2020 #12

AOC should have been clear to her followers that the members arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #14

Exactly. Her tweet omitted the fact that she was R B Garr Aug 2020 #15

She NEVER said it was a slight Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #20

Get real, she deliberately mislead that she was nominating arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #41

She didn't write that poem. N/T lapucelle Aug 2020 #62

Meant to type she wrote a poem in her tweet Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #65

Does anyone know who started this "just one minute" thing as if everybody else nominating betsuni Aug 2020 #16

Didn't it come from her own tweet? Some limerick R B Garr Aug 2020 #17

She wrote poetry about the occassion. Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #57

The "childishness" was the implication that she was being treated unfairly, without mentioning still_one Aug 2020 #61

She didn't write that poem. She says so right in the tweet.N/T lapucelle Aug 2020 #63

Not sure if a Businessinsider article started it, but if it did, she should've cleared it up betsuni Aug 2020 #23

Not even close to a limerick. Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #58

Of course the "media" did.. like they don't Cha Aug 2020 #19

I watched some PBS coverage of the convention and it was so negative. betsuni Aug 2020 #27

Gawd.. I couldn't stand that! WTH They sound Cha Aug 2020 #29

MSNBC gave probably the best coverage of it in my opinion. still_one Aug 2020 #35

It came from AOC's tweet. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #70

It was a response to Tina Sfondeles's tweet. Mariana Aug 2020 #83

Divisive posts like this do nothing to help us win in November nt liskddksil Aug 2020 #28

Why? Is someone not voting for Biden bc of this Cha Aug 2020 #30

I would argue that the divisiveness was initiated by the person who neglected to inform people still_one Aug 2020 #34

Ikr.. This didn't need to be a thing. Cha Aug 2020 #36

No it didn't, and it started this tweet back on August 12 still_one Aug 2020 #40

Exactly. Mariana Aug 2020 #84

Exactly, nominating announcers only ever get one minute as arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #43

and she did just fine during the nominating process tonight. This is such a petty issue still_one Aug 2020 #45

Who made it an issue that she only got 60 seconds? She could arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #47

I agree, and it should have never been an issue. The argument some are using is about the still_one Aug 2020 #49

The role AOC was given was to be part of the Bernie Sanders nomination process. I'm sure if she was liskddksil Aug 2020 #38

It was simply to second the nomination of Bernie Sanders. Whether it was for Biden or Sanders, still_one Aug 2020 #39

You put "unfair" in quotes, implying that AOC actually said that. Did she? nt. Mariana Aug 2020 #86

There is nothing divisive about clearing up confusion. lapucelle Aug 2020 #66

Nor do they hurt our chances. It is in fact, wholly benign... at its worst. LanternWaste Aug 2020 #87

She never made an issue about it Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #53

I'm not her biggest fan but I can't believe she's taking grief for this Awsi Dooger Aug 2020 #44

AOC should've been given more time to give a general speech. radius777 Aug 2020 #46

She should have been given a full time slot. fescuerescue Aug 2020 #59

Then she should have been more direct about it. Yang did, and he got a spot. As for your still_one Aug 2020 #67

Her seconding speech was almost twice as long as that of Biden's nominating speaker. Go figure. George II Aug 2020 #78
