Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blasts NBC News for 'Appalling' Tweet Saying She Didn't Endorse Joe Biden
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the subject of an extremely misleading tweet by NBC News during the Democratic National Convention last night.
If you missed it, the 30-year-old politician was given the task of seconding the nomination of Bernie Sanders as president. She explained why for those who were confused over the televised moment. Joe Biden was officially announced as the nominee last night.
NBC News then tweeted out, “In one of the shortest speeches of the DNC, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse Joe Biden.”
Well, the Representative took to Twitter to blast the news organization. You can read her tweets below…
This is completely unacceptable, disappointing, and appalling.
The DNC shared the procedural purpose of my remarks to media WELL in advance. @NBC knew what was going to happen & that it was routine.
How does a headline that malicious & misleading happen w/ that prior knowledge?
