AOC’s “Rapist” Label for Trump Ignites Social Media Firestorm
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has sparked a heated debate on social media after calling former President Donald Trump a “rapist” in a recent post. The statement, which links Trump to the recently released Epstein files, has drawn intense criticism from many, including accusations of defamation.
Controversy Surrounds AOC’s Accusation
AOC’s accusation reignites past sexual assault allegations against Trump. While a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse in a civil case involving writer E. Jean Carroll, he has not been criminally convicted of rape. This distinction has fueled arguments claiming AOC’s statement is defamatory.
Social Media Erupts with Reactions
The congresswoman’s words ignited a firestorm of responses, particularly from Trump supporters. Many have condemned her statement, demanding an apology and accusing her of engaging in politically motivated attacks. The hashtag #AOC lies has also been trending on various platforms since the post.
