AOC Faces Possible Defamation Fallout After Calling Trump a 'Rapist'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may soon face serious consequences after repeating a defamatory claim about President Donald Trump—the very same allegation that recently cost ABC News $15 million in a high-profile settlement. The progressive congresswoman, known for her fiery social media presence, appears to have assumed she could make sweeping, unfounded accusations without accountability. But this time, her words might come with a legal and financial cost.

On Friday, AOC sparked significant backlash after calling President Trump a “rapist” in a social media post, implying that his time in the White House disrupted the Justice Department’s investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein. Critics quickly pushed back, accusing the congresswoman of defamation and highlighting that Trump has never been criminally convicted of rape. The remark has drawn criticism from legal experts and political opponents alike, with some warning that it could have serious consequences.

“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?" Ocasio Cortez wrote on X.

AOC may believe she can say whatever she wants on social media without facing consequences, but that’s far from reality. Take a look at ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, who called Trump a “rapist” on live television—an accusation that ended up costing the network $15 million. Now, the progressive congresswoman could be staring down a similar legal and financial fallout for making the same unfounded claim.

Many Republicans defended President Trump, emphasizing that since he has not been criminally convicted of rape, false accusations against him could lead to defamation charges.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer responded, “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.”

Her whore mouth needs to cost her whore ass a lot of whore money.

I think that is an excellent idea, and the sooner the better!!

The whole Epstein thing seems to be the latest bot talking point on most of the Trump administrations posts. Last week it was of course “due process” and the week before that it was free Palestine.

Liberals are nothing more than bots.

I hope she gets sued into oblivion.

Looks like the work of Dinsdale, to me.
