IN HOT WATER: Conservatives suggest Trump should sue AOC for defamatory post

7

Democrat Socialist and “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) is being blasted for a comment about President Trump she posted on X Friday, which many are saying could result in her getting hit with a massive lawsuit.

Ocasio-Cortez, better known as “AOC” was weighing in after the Justice Department announced there is no list of clients associated with the late convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.

In a post on X from her personal account, AOC wrote, “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?”

That started a barrage of replies (well over 26,000 as of this report), as conservatives are reminding her what happened when ABC News host George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed in an on-air broadcast that Trump had been “found liable for rape.” ABC ended up shelling out $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit by Trump.

Journalist Laura Loomer fired back at AOC, “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.”

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote, “Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability. Wow.”

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) asked, “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?”

Shawn Farash wrote, “If Trump is a rapist, then surely he was convicted of rape in a criminal court and you have evidence of that conviction right? If not, then this is defamation, and the ABC case that resulted in a $15M payment to Trump is precedent that puts you in legal jeopardy.”

Matt Van Swol, a former nuclear scientist, wrote, “Who would have thought AOC would be stuoid enough to post that Trump was a rapist… …when he has NEVER been convicted of rape. I hope Trump sues you for defamatio, because he will win, just like he won $15 million from ABC for the same thing. Justice is coming.”

Podcast host Alec Lace mocked, “Shouldn’t you be crying at the Weed Farm where children smuggled in under Biden were being forced into slave labor?”
