AOC Defames Trump, and Now She Better Lawyer Up

Robert Spencer 

 "And now AOC has done the same thing Stephanopoulos did. She only did it once, however, whereas Stephanopoulos did it ten times. ABC News and Stephanopoulos paid Trump $15 million. So should AOC be prepared to fork over $1.5 million to Orange Man Bad?. . . "


"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."  

"Stephanopoulos was referring to fantasist E. Jean Carroll’s claim that Trump raped her many years ago in a Bergdorf Goodman’s dressing room." . . . More...
