New in PJ Media:
It’s common for leftists to refer to Trump in the most luridly negative ways they can come up with, and to insert these references everywhere they can, no matter how inappropriate, so as to demoralize patriots and give them the impression that the left’s cultural victory and hegemony are total. Just the other day, by way of example, I was innocently reading the local sports section and saw a columnist decrying gambling in baseball and saying that with a “convicted felon” in the White House, what could anyone expect? Generally, however, the left’s claims about Trump, while wildly misleading and tendentious, aren’t legally actionable. Leftist darling AOC, however, has just crossed the line.
On Friday afternoon, as the controversy over Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi was raging, the left’s next senator from New York or (egad) presidential candidate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Would You Like An Olive?) posted this on X: “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?”
Interesting question. Here’s another question, one for AOC to ponder: Who would have thought that a sitting congresswoman would openly defame the president of the United States in such a craven fashion?
AOC sent this post, moreover, from her personal X account, not her congressional account, making a case for congressional immunity extremely difficult to make.
The left’s great fake Bronxite hope could soon find herself in a heap of legal trouble. Remember what happened to ABC News and one of its leading propagandists, the far-left apparatchik George Stephanopoulos: Fox News Digital reported back in Dec. 2024 that “ABC News and their top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network paying the president-elect $15 million.”
Stephanopoulos and ABC News also issued a statement: “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024.”
Why did ABC and Stephanopoulos have to give Trump $15 million and issue a statement of “regret”? Trump “filed a defamation suit against Stephanopoulos after he asserted that Trump was found ‘liable for rape’ in a civil case during a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last March.”
Stephanopoulos was played “a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape,” and then asked her, “How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?” The rabidly partisan pseudo-journalist continued: “You’ve endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Ron says
I’m so friggin sick of hearing about this USELESS POS. What has she done for the American people that she can brag on?? The residents of her own district despise her.
I guess I can look forward to the fact that she is “female” and a minority so therefore she will make a good President!!
Do the letters FO mean anything?
40 rounds says
I’m pretty sure I can say, without a threat of lawsuit, that she is pretty stupid
Ron says
I disagree with being “stupid”. I submit that she knows exactly what she is doing. The progressive communist bitch will piss down my back and then tell me it’s raining.
40 rounds says
Sorry Ron, I think she is totally scripted by communist handlers and when she ventures from the script her intense stupidity comes out in spades
Michael says
By “communist handlers” I’m assuming you mean the World Economic Forum and its billionaire members, and the United Nations? Then we’re on the same page.
somehistory says
aoc is in a position to submit bills or to co-sign bills or just vote on bills to make Laws the American people are supposed to follow if they don’t want fines and prison time. And she gets paid to do those things.
But, she just can’t keep her mouth shut. And out of her mouth come the things in her heart. “Wicked reasonings,”
“Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.” “False testimony and Slander.”
aoc is unashamed of her ignorance, because her arrogance and self-importance blind her to the danger of opening her mouth.
I hope Mr. Trump sues her and that she has to pay big.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not just ABC, even CBS had to apologize to Trump for editing Kamala’s interview w/ 60 minutes last year. Reason being that Paramount wants a $28 billion merger w/ Skydance Media, and such a huge deal would come under the microscope of the Feds. The last thing they wanna do is piss off POTUS, who could just pull the kabash on the whole thing. I’d say that the Trump team should through backchannels demand that CBS fire its entire (D) staff and replace them w/ (R), so that CBS news looks like something b/w Fox and Newsmax 😈
I do wonder though – has any Congressman ever been sued? Do they have immunity against that sort of thing? And what if the person doing the suing is the POTUS?
somehistory says
Evidently, a congressman cannot be charged for things they say while in session or meetings, unless it’s treason,. Breach of peace or felony. .
But they can be charged after they get home for things they have said or done, such as libel, slander.
they don’t have immunity from suit if they are not engaged in a Congressional debate when they say something such as aoc has said. She slandered the President, but not while she was on ‘the floor.’ So, she can be sued.

Huh?!? says
Open mouth, insert foot. AOC and the left will take anything they can and twist it to fit their agenda. They do this to see what they can get away with. I am in line with the other comments: Sue her.
OLD GUY says
That foot insert is a size 13 in her case.
Westman says
Has anyone noticed that the US Representatives who make the most noise rarely get any of their legislation passed?
Somehow the feedback in their political bubble convinces them that meddling in the citizen’s lives with mandatory requirements, which often involves wealth transfer, is popular with the majority of citizens. Worse yet, they generally are a bad example of the “victims” they claim to represent – like Bernie.and his four houses.
What has the “squad” actually done? Some know swear words, some want Israel off the planet, one committed immigration fraud, another thought Republicans were jealous because she wouldn’t date them. Likely, no one asked.
Even Sen. Warren doesn’t understand that shrillness won’t sell to adults though it might appeal to mixed-up, sustained adolescents who aren’t sure work is a real thing.
After the Stephanopoulos steph-in-the-crap, it looks much like maintaining patent rights – you must sue all violators or lose those rights. Trump may have no choice but to sue AOC or the entire leftist media will pile on.

Down to the nitty-gritty, as usual, Westman.
