Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was ripped on social media after she called President Trump “a rapist” online — with many suggesting a tweet from the Congresswoman was grounds for a defamation lawsuit from the commander in chief.
Ocasio-Cortez sparked outrage when she tweeted Friday about Trump and the release of files related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, apparently referring to Trump and the 2023 civil trial where he was found liable of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.
Trump, however, was not found liable of rape in the case — a distinction the congresswoman failed to make — leading many on social media to encourage the president to sue the self-described “Bronx girl.”
“Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability. Wow,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on X, referring to the landmark 1964 Supreme Court libel case.
“George Stephanopoulos might advise you to take down this tweet,” another person tweeted.
Stephanopoulos and ABC were sued by Trump last year after the “This Week” host similarly asserted that Trump had been “found liable for rape,” during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).
In December, ABC and Stephanopoulos agreed to pay Trump’s presidential library foundation $15 million and an additional $1 million in legal expenses as part of a settlement, and the network publicly apologized for the error.
“This is defamatory,” Trump ally Laura Loomer said of Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet. “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.”

Mike Johnson is cut from the same cloth as Kevin McCarthy. Not a fighter, but a get along to go along drone. Ditto for John Thune in the senate.
Ask George Steponallofus how calling Trump a rapist worked out for him.
Trump should sue. When she loses she will have a go fund me page that will pay it out for her anyway, but the more money democrats lose the better.
” Especially since she comes from a rat hole.”
What rathole? Yorktown Heights is the archetype for the “leafy suburb” cliche.
She wishes...but not really!

Moron AOC and you have opened yourself up to a defamation lawsuit. No innocent man will stand for being called a rapist. Trump sued ABC and won when Steffie did this, numerous times and against advice. AOC must not be aware.
Soeone should tie her tongue to her teeth! 🙄
AOC s just another political whore, one of many ... both male and female, that occupy the halls of Congre$$ now.
DJT never even MET Carroll, and wouldn’t have touched that old goat in any case.
AOC is the victim of her big stupid mouth and no brain.
I would love to see DJT sue the sh*t out of them until they squeak.
She called President Trump “a rapist”
Wishful hoping on her part.
What's her FR nick?
