(America First Report)—New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing accusations of defaming President Donald Trump. She called him a “rapist” on social media during a debate about how the Department of Justice handled the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The progressive Democrat, who has often clashed with Trump during their time in politics, shared her thoughts on the ongoing issues around Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a wealthy financier who died in his New York jail cell in 2019 while facing federal charges for child sex trafficking.
“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted on X on Friday.
She seemed to be talking about the 2023 civil trial against Trump brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. In that case, a jury decided Trump was responsible for sexual assault, but not for rape. Critics of Ocasio-Cortez pointed this out many times when they criticized her for using the word “rapist.”
Her comments came after the Trump administration’s Department of Justice stated there is no list of Epstein’s clients. But Trump’s supporters and legal experts warned AOC to get a lawyer after she used that strong word.
“The President should sue AOC into bankruptcy. I realize she’s trying to raise her profile but this is way way too far,” legal analyst Phil Holloway posted to X on Saturday in response to a message from Ocasio-Cortez.
“Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability Wow,” Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee posted to X in response.
“Why didn’t you guys release the Epstein files over the last 4 years? Maybe you were too busy covering for Joe Biden… or, could it have something to do with another former Democrat President?” Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin posted in response to Ocasio-Cortez.
“Well we have grounds for a huge defamation suit here you idiot because Donald Trump has never been indicted for rape much less convicted,” host of YourVoice America Bill Mitchell posted to X.
“You realize your X account doesn’t carry the same protections to defame people that you enjoy during congressional proceedings?” another X account posted.
Other people who disagreed with the lawmaker’s post mentioned that calling Trump a “rapist” follows a recent event where ABC had to pay Trump $15 million. That money will help fund his presidential library. It happened because George Stephanopoulos claimed in March of last year that Trump was found civilly liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll case. Trump has always denied knowing Carroll. He says she made up the story about him raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s to sell more books years later.
“Donald Trump has not been criminally convicted of being a rapist. This is defamatory. And I hope you are sued by Trump for this the same way George Stephanopoulos was sued and forced to pay Trump $15 million dollars. I hope you have millions ready for Trump, Porky. @AOC,” Trump ally Laura Loomer posted in response to Ocasio-Cortez.

Trump should sue her.
Yeah.
“..Trump should sue her...”
Yep. Give her a taste of RAT mode of operation.
It’s not the “winning or losing” approach; it’s the process that’s the punishment. Continue the process till all her assets are consumed...and then some.
RATs perfected it, Trump should use it...
AOC is a useful idiot for the dems. The voting public sees through her like window.
She’d just make a ton of dough on a Go fund me.................
Sandy needs to be sent back to the Taco and Margarita Shack.
She has no fear. The judicial system is the friend of communists. She’s just trying to eclipse Crockett as the leader of the communists.
Yep Trump sued ABC for the R word, she used it too, so take her to the cleaner.
BUMP
And burn it up on legal fees.
“She’d just make a ton of dough on a Go fund me”
Yeah, but doing nothing only emboldens them.
A law suit would at least make ‘em think twice.
thats ok
siphon off the commie socialist money
one way or the other
less money for the destruction of the republic
Sandy has gotten herself in deep doo-doo.
She would get a lot of donations at least in the beginning. But she’s not a big corporation like CBS and they lost their case against Trump.
I don’t know what more they could get on Trump via discovery, but discovery works both ways. Trump’s not running again, he’s got executive privilege, pardon power and can pull the trigger (indirectly of course) on investigations.
I’d love to see a lawsuit.
The left needs a dose of their own medicine.
I don’t think her pockets are as deep as Disney’s....................
And it will go to Trump. I’d squeeze her for $50,000,000.00 AND a nationally aired Apology airing every day for a month in all 50 states.
Well at least a window has a function.
I just want to see her lose everything.
Is that wrong?
I know, but still make her pay
