Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a prominent Sanders supporter, , and this is how NBC News : "In one of the shortest speeches of the DNC, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse Joe Biden." After being criticized for political illiteracy, NBC News deleted the tweet and issued a clarification about how conventions work.Editor's note and clarification (1/2): This tweet should have included more detail on the nominating process.We have deleted the tweet to prevent its further spread, but it can be seen here for the record.— NBC News (@NBCNews) The framing had already spread by that point:now the misleading headline gets picked up by the partisan FB pipeline.— Alex Thompson (@AlxThomp) And Ocasio-Cortez — who and said she "deeply look[s] forward to fighting for our future together and reclaiming our democracy in November" right after her speed aired — was not impressed with NBC's "clarification."You waited several hours to correct your obvious and blatantly misleading tweet.It sparked an enormous amount of hatred and vitriol, &amp; now the misinfo you created is circulating on other networks.All to generate hate-clicks from a pre-recorded, routine procedural motion.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) "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 &amp; that it was routine." And she : "So @NBCNews how are you going to fix the incredible amount of damage and misinformation that you are now responsible for? Because a 1:15am tweet to slip under the radar after blowing up a totally false and divisive narrative across networks isn't it."
