It’s a familiar pattern. When the radical Left feels the tide turning against them, they don’t argue with better ideas. They just shout louder, hoping a storm of outrage will distract from their failures. Their attacks become more and more unhinged, replacing facts with pure, uncut emotion.
This strategy relies on sheer volume, hoping no one has the time to check the details. But every once in a while, a prominent leftist gets so carried away with their own rhetoric that they make a very public, and potentially very costly, mistake.
AOC Goes Overboard
That’s exactly what just happened to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In a social media post, the New York Democrat declared, “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” It was a shocking claim, but one with a major problem: it’s not true.
As conservatives have pointed out repeatedly, President Donald Trump has never been criminally convicted or even found civilly liable for rape. In the E. Jean Carroll case AOC was likely referencing, the jury explicitly found Trump was not liable for rape. They found him liable for the lesser charge of sexual abuse. It’s a critical distinction that AOC, a sitting congresswoman, willfully ignores.
A Very Costly Lie
For AOC, this wasn’t just a simple mistake. It was a reckless error that others have paid dearly for. ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos were recently forced to pay President Trump a reported $15 million settlement after Stephanopoulos made the exact same false claim on air. They learned the hard way that you cannot just invent slurs against a public figure.
The backlash to AOC’s post was swift. Legal analyst Phil Holloway said, “The President should sue AOC into bankruptcy.” Utah Senator Mike Lee warned her, “you’ve managed to incur defamation liability.” The White House offered its own blistering assessment of AOC’s obsessive behavior.
From ‘Fox News’:
“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…
“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… she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-sized brain.”
Patriots Push Back
This isn’t just a squabble between politicians. Everyday Americans are tired of the lies. Social media users have been calling on the president to take action, with comments like, “I hope he sues you. He’ll win,” flooding the internet. They see a clear pattern of defamation and a two-tiered system where elites believe they are above the law.
In America, the truth still matters. Words have consequences, and repeating a lie that cost a media giant $15 million is playing with fire. AOC has shown a pattern of reckless behavior, and now she has walked right into a clear legal trap. So the question for patriots is simple: Do you think President Trump should sue her?
Key Takeaways
- AOC falsely called President Trump a “rapist,” ignoring the jury’s actual verdict.
- Her lie mirrors a claim that cost ABC News a $15 million settlement with Trump.
- The incident highlights the Left’s growing disregard for truth and the rule of law.
- Conservatives are calling for legal action to hold political elites accountable for defamation.
