Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been served with an ethics complaint by an outside group that accuses her of 'defaming' the creator of the Libs of TikTok account on Twitter, with more than 2 million followers.
The creator, Chaya Raichik delivered the legal papers herself.
The conservative Heritage Foundation asked the Office of Congressional Ethics to open a probe into the matter.
The step does not guarantee a probe by the House Ethics Committee, which has a bipartisan membership and decides which matters involving lawmakers to probe.
The New York lawmaker asked asked Yoel Roth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter, about the account in a February Oversight hearing: 'Are you aware… that from August 11th to August 16th that account posted false information about Boston Children's Hospital claiming that they were providing hysterectomies to children?'
'Yes, I am aware of that,' Roth said.
'And are you aware that this lie was then circulated by other prominent far-right influences?' added Ocasio-Cortez, in a claim the account and its allies dispute.
She was referring to a tweet from the Libs of TikTok account that showed a video a video of Dr. Frances Grimstad of the Boston Children's Hospital touting the healthcare facility's 'gender-affirming hysterectomy' and 'ovary removal' procedures.
The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project posted video of the moment when Ocasio-Cortez, a 'squad' member, got served with the complaint inside the Cannon House Office Building. Raichik delivered paperwork herself in the dramatic moment that the group posted.

When they told AOC she had been served she thought they meant her drink.
Firebrand??? Not hardly...
Blithering bimbo is more like it.
Suddenly there are trannies everywhere.
5-10 years ago no one gave it much of thought.
AirheadOCommie has no sense of humor. Libs of Tik Tok is hilarious.
I’m Marxistphobic and proud of it. I’m worried about the ongoing destruction of my country, facilitated by people like AOC.
Trans-disparaging is the thing to be!
Nitwits don’t deserve a break from me,
They are a crazy and demented bunch,
Males are men and nothing else.
New moralities don’t impress at all,
They can’t change the truth just because they bawl,
I don’t hate them, they’re too pathetic for that,
Females are women and nothing else!
The guys
Are guys
The gals
Are gals
Men can’t be lesbians
Mutilations don’t change sex
Genderqueer are deluded twits!
(to the tune of Green Acers)
I prefer “trans-disparaging” personally.
I have an issue with the idea that somebody who opposes the Trans activists are the ones who are trans phobic. They are standing up to their face and debating them. Seems that they are willing to oppose the trans movement. People like AOC are the ones that are actually afraid to disagree with them, afraid of the conflict and bad press, making them the literal definition of Trans phobic.
I’m just queer, freak, perverse adverse.
There’s no such thing as a “Trans Person”, so you can’t be phobic of something that doesn’t exist.
At least AOTard didn’t say “You’re super duper ultra transphobic!”
they are mentally unstable and should be locked up.
A lot more of this is needed. It’s been constant defaming of Republicans, conservatives and sincere Christians, as groups, for years now.
And AOC is actually a super doofus!
It’s been my experience that a lot of immature adults tend to pepper their speech with the word “super”.
I’m homophobic and transphobic and dang PROUD of it !
that there is funny
