The congresswoman posted on Instagram to share her disdain for the incoming president and issue a warning over the capture of all major social media platforms by the far right.

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced she will not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, stating, “I don’t celebrate rapists,” referencing Trump’s history of sexual assault allegations.

While Trump has never been convicted of rape, a jury found him civilly liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

Ocasio-Cortez also criticized TikTok for crediting Trump with restoring service in the U.S., calling it a propaganda move.

She warned of social media platforms being weaponized by right-wing interests, claiming they are contributing to the rise of “21st-century fascism” under the incoming administration.

    I don’t disagree and I’d concede the point if I was talking to a lawyer or other legal expert that was having a discussion with me in good faith.

    These fucks exploit the shit out of good faith and technicalities so fuck it.

    You’re[1] wrong, it was rape.

    1. Pst, I’m not specifically speaking to you Jordan but in a generalized sense. We need to call rape rape.
