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.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Has AOC ever heard of Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Tara Reade? (Clinton/Biden)
And hopefully Donald takes her to the cleaners and leaves her dirt poor.
I get really tired that PR Taco and Tequila skank badmouthing the American president. Especially since she comes from a rat hole.
Or Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones for that matter?!

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.
The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse.
//////////////////////////////////////////////
This means even in the lying, concocted fictional story of Carroll in court, he was not called guilty of rape.
There is a new book out supposedly “by” the execrable hag E. Jean Carroll. I saw it on a full table of copies at the nearest brick and mortar bookstore.
The garbage really belongs in the alley, not on a table.
Does it mean AOC is trying to bring up publicity topics for her book.
George Snuffleupagus had to pay, what—15 million for saying the same thing?
Yeah, gig that stupid biznatch!
The little ho best be careful. If Trump comes after her, her allies may well be dimwits with little political capital. Not the rank and file Rats in Congress.
LOL
The post feels like she is daring DJT to take action. He will make the best decision, but, this is absolutely a horrible act by a congress person. The Speaker Of The House needs to take this very seriously.
Can’t wait to see her groveling to avoid having half her pay garnished forever.
No Kathy Griffin apology! She must whimper...
>Whoa, dude
I’ve had my ration of her BS.
She’d better have her checkbook ready.
Don’t forget Ashley Biden, joe Biden started molesting her when she was 11 yrs old
The commie brat has a problem with self control, not to mention that her IQ leaves a lot to be desired. She wouldn’t be a congressional rep without selling herself to the CCP and Soros money. If anyone doesn’t think the Epstein files are being used by the demoncrats to sew discord in the republican party, think again.
After this weekend with Charlie Kirk, it does really seem like the tide is turning. She probably realizes the ebbing of the tide is not in her favor.
She sounds like 25% of the folks here.
Fortunately 20 people don’t count.😂
No one is above the law, right AOC?
Pam Bondi, get on this PRONTO if you really want to move on from the Epstein files/client list. File charges.
