Critics reference ABC's $15M settlement with Trump after similar characterization by George Stephanopoulos
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being accused of defaming President Donald Trump by calling him a "rapist" on social media amid controversy over the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The far-left Democrat, who has traded barbs with Trump repeatedly across both of their political careers, weighed in on the current controversy surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after facing federal charges related to child sex trafficking.
"Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?" Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday. She appeared to be referencing the 2023 civil trial leveled against Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll. A jury found Trump liable of sexual assault, but not of rape, which critics of Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly cited in their condemnation of her use of the word "rapist."
The comments came after the Trump Department of Justice said there is no list of Epstein clients. But Trump supporters and legal experts alike warned AOC to lawyer up after dropping the "R" bomb.

I hope the attorneys for Trump sue her right down to her last tip jar.
She’s protected.
A woman. A Latina. A Dem. A supporter of Mamdani.
And has dimples.
But Trump supporters and legal experts alike warned AOC to lawyer up.
Looks like she’s back to slinging beers good deal.
As if there's any other kind.
I hope the attorneys for Trump sue her right down to her last tip jar.
The braying donkey.
“...Would be nice, but unlikely to happen given how limited the chances are for public figures to win defamation lawsuits.....”
It’s not about winning or losing. The long, drawn-out, expensive process is the punishment.
HER MOUTH IS WRITING CHECKS HER ASS CANNOT CASH.
AOC seems pretty sure of herself.
She must be on the Epstein list.
And leave her dirt poor and homeless.
I’ll bet she IS!
“ Would be nice, but unlikely to happen given how limited the chances are for public figures to win defamation lawsuits.”
That what Trump got Stephy and ABC on. Question is when she said it. If it was before the election, Trump has a great case, with ABC as precedent.
The PR Piglet Princess. She should not be in our American Congress. I don’t GAS where the heck she was born. I’ve dropped a deuce in a lot of foreign countries and I still only call myself an American. None of that duel phony birthright crap for me.
AOC aka Absolutely Obnoxious Congre$$woman
sue her in Florida.
She is so out of her league...
The Trump Presidential library is being built by lawsuits he won as a public figure, including Stephanpolus for damn near the same thing. What AOC says on the floor of Congress is protected speech, what she says on social media is not protected and she is subject to the same laws as we the people. Trump should sue her and put others on notice.
