AOC Crosses the Line: Trump Could Sue for Defamation Over “Rapist” Claim
New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be on the brink of a libel lawsuit after she directly called President Donald Trump a “rapist” in a post on X.
As Democrats suddenly appear concerned about the Jeffrey Epstein case after four years of silence, AOC wrote the following:
“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?”
It appears that AOC doesn’t realize that the last time someone branded Trump a “rapist,” he sued them and settled for $15 million—plus an additional $1 million in legal costs.
Anchor George Stephanopoulos, who claimed Trump was convicted of rape during a broadcast, had the backing of ABC News.
“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, Porky. @AOC,” Trump ally Laura Loomer posted in response to Ocasio-Cortez.
“The President should sue AOC into bankruptcy. I realize she’s trying to raise her profile but this is way way too far,” legal analyst Phil Holloway posted to X on Saturday in response to a message from Ocasio-Cortez.
“Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability. Wow,” Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee posted to X in response.
“Why didn’t you guys release the Epstein files over the last 4 years? Maybe you were too busy covering for Joe Biden… or, could it have something to do with another former Democrat President?” Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin posted in response to Ocasio-Cortez.
“Well we have grounds for a huge defamation suit here you idiot because Donald Trump has never been indicted for rape much less convicted,” host of YourVoice America Bill Mitchell posted to X.
“You realize your X account doesn’t carry the same protections to defame people that you enjoy during congressional proceedings?” another X account posted.
“AOC likes to play pretend like she’s from the block, but in reality she’s just a sad, miserable blockhead who is trying to over-compensate for her lack of self-confidence that has followed her for her entire life,” White House Communication Director Steven Cheung said in a comment provided to Fox News Digital on Sunday.
“Instead, she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-sized brain,” he added.
