WATCH: AOC confidently claims ‘the president of the United States is a rapist’
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a radical left member of the Democrat party representing part of New York City in Congress, went there.
“The president of the United States is a rapist,” she charged.
Of course she’s not the first with that statement. George Stephanopoulos was there before her, and eventually reached a legal settlement with the president that involved his network, ABC, paying the president’s foundation and lawyers a sum of $16 million.
Not sure what may develop for a member of Congress whose statements are protected absolutely by the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause – but only “when they are part of the legislative process.”
Online dictionaries explain that courts have determined that “purely political statements in newsletters or press releases are not covered.”
Here she is:
AOC on Trump: “A judge said he has in fact raped a woman. The president is a rapist. The president is implicated in the Epstein Files. He is convicted in court of 34 counts of fraud, felony fraud” pic.twitter.com/6lByZQAKcD

Cortez claims that a judge ruled Trump raped a woman, but that is not, in fact, the case. The judge wasn’t making the decision, a jury was.
A woman sued Trump in a civil case making that claim and the jury verdict to the question did she prove “by a preponderance of the evidence, that Mr. Trump raped” her, was “No.”
**Taps the sign…. Just because a Judge said he did.. Doesnt make it true. The Jury, are the ones who determine that. What did the jury say AOC.. WHAT DID THE JURY SAY pic.twitter.com/xEA6bxsoEf

And Cortez’s comments came just hours after Rep. Eric Swalwelll, one of her own party members from California, submitted a resignation and fled Congress in the face of a multitude of women charging that he assaulted them, even raped them.
She also charges that Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud, but in that case the half a billion dollar penalty was thrown out by an appeals court, and there’s currently pending an appeal to dismiss the rest of the case entirely.
Another commenter said, “Watch your words aoc you are saying things as fact and that is slander. Hope u are next on the list to be sued…”
It was a report at Not the Bee that said, “AOC is being AOC again…”
A report at BizPacReview suggested, “Scooting AOC may have set herself up for a defamation suit with her latest allegations against the president and what she believes that meant to bad actors in Congress.”
The report noted the plaintiff against Trump, E. Jean Carroll, now is asking the Supreme Court to refuse to re-evaluate her claims.
“Streaming as she scooted down the street, the congresswoman insisted, ‘But there really are consequences when the president of the United States has been found convicted in court of felony 34 times, has been found liable — a judge said that he has, in fact, raped a woman …”
Another member of Congress, Rep. Tony Gonzales, of Texas, also recently resigned over sexual allegations.
Cortez earlier had claimed, “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein files?”
AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter.
