Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is having a hard time coming to grips with President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House.
And the New York Democrat has been pouring out her ire on social media where she appeared to cross the line at one point when she essentially called the 47th president a rapist.
“All these journalists were like congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Congresswoman are you going to the inauguration? Are you going to the inauguration?'” Ocasio-Cortez said in one of her inflammatory posts.
AOC says she’s not going to the inauguration because Trump is a rapist. This is what ABC News just had to pay $15 million for falsely stating. pic.twitter.com/rnogzBtwvQ

“Let me make myself clear. I don’t celebrate rapists, so no, I’m not going to the inauguration,” she said.
When the popular Libs of TikTok account reposted her remarks, AOC shot back, “Oh, are you triggered? Cry more.”
But the account soon reminded the socialist lawmaker that ABC News had to fork over a $15 million payment to Trump in the settlement of a defamation lawsuit. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos had said Trump was “found liable for rape” during a live broadcast, referring to the case involving writer E. Jean Carroll.

“We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration,” the congresswoman said in another post ahead of Trump’s inauguration. “This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like.”
Ocasio-Cortez made it “clear” she is thumbing her nose at Trump’s inauguration, despite the Democrats’ hysteria about how the GOP leader would be the one ushering in the end of “democracy.” But she was raked over the coals for her response and repeatedly reminded about her defamation dance, with X owner Elon Musk calling her post “Unhinged.”
Unhinged 😂

She should be immediately removed from Congress for this very dangerous and false statement.

Is despicable that senators and government officials can say whatever they want about the opposition, lies or not. The lack of professionalism in the senate is astounding!

this woman AOC should be expelled from her position, first of all this president won this election fairly and my the majority of the people of this country, that makes you part of the minority, so keep your mouth shut and have a little respect for your president. if you can’t do that than do not say anything. just remember one thing just as fast as we voted you in, we can vote your ass out. I am a Democrat have been a lifelong Democrat, guess what I voted for Trump all three times because I am fed up with calling myself a Democrat with the way these Democrats act, it’s a disgrace. You are a disgrace to your title,
