AOC Faces Backlash After Accusing Trump of Being a “Rapist” — Legal Experts Say Defamation Lawsuit Could Be Next
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is facing a firestorm online—and it may cost her dearly. In a tweet that sparked outrage across the country, the far-left Congresswoman recklessly referred to President Trump as “a rapist,” prompting calls for a defamation lawsuit that could set a precedent.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Tweet About Trump and Epstein Backfires
The controversy began when AOC posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?”
She appeared to be referring to the 2023 civil case where Trump was found liable for sexual abuse—not rape—a critical legal distinction the Congresswoman failed to acknowledge. That detail didn’t go unnoticed.
Conservatives Demand Accountability: “Sue Her Into Bankruptcy”
Republicans and legal analysts immediately responded. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) fired back:
“Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability. Wow.”
Others urged President Trump to take legal action, just as he did with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos—who falsely claimed Trump was “found liable for rape” and ended up paying $15 million in a settlement, plus $1 million in legal fees, and issuing a formal apology.
Stephanopoulos Paid Millions—Will AOC Be Next?
That lawsuit sent shockwaves through the media world. And now, many are saying Ocasio-Cortez may be next.
Conservative commentator Laura Loomer posted:
“This is defamatory. And I hope President Trump sues AOC the same way he sued George Stephanopoulos—and won.”
Legal analyst Phil Holloway agreed, tweeting:
“The President should sue AOC into bankruptcy. This isn’t political theater—it’s outright slander.”
White House Responds: “Get Help for Trump Derangement Syndrome”
The Trump White House hasn’t confirmed whether legal action is imminent—but the message from insiders is crystal clear.
Steven Cheung, the president’s communications director, stated:
“AOC likes to play tough, but deep down she’s a bitter, insecure media addict. She needs professional help for her severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Why This Matters to Every American
This isn’t just about name-calling on social media. It’s about truth, accountability, and the dangerous trend of using false accusations to destroy political opponents. If a sitting Congresswoman can lie without consequence, who’s next?
Millions of Americans are fed up with the double standards—and they’re watching closely to see if justice is served.
