NBC 'sparked an enormous amount of hatred and vitriol' with its 9:49 p.m. Twitter message, which claimed Ocasio-Cortez 'did not endorse Joe Biden,' the congresswoman wrote. Slots era free download windows 10. Slots leaving.
She also accused NBC of suggesting she was being curt in her remarks by delivering 'one of the shortest speeches of the DNC' when she seconded the nomination of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to be the party's choice for president.
'You waited several hours to correct your obvious and blatantly misleading tweet,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote, retweeting an NBC clarification that appeared about three hours after its initial message. '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,' the New York Democrat wrote.
'This is completely unacceptable, disappointing, and appalling,' Ocasio-Cortez continued. '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.

The network also clarified that Ocasio-Cortez has 'previously endorsed' Biden for president and that her speech 'was similar in length to other nominating speeches.'
NBC deleted the original tweet -- but posted a copy 'for the record.'
Many spectators on social media weighed in on the AOC-NBC dispute but some – like Turning Point USA's Benny Johnson -- had little sympathy for the congresswoman.
