AOC Calls Trump ‘Rapist’ in Brutal Epstein Files Crisis Dig

www.thedailybeast.com AOC Calls Trump ‘Rapist’ in Brutal Epstein Files Crisis Dig

Trump is facing a MAGA civil war over his handling of the files on the notorious sex offender.

No wonder ROTUS wants to return to the 1800s when rich white men could rape whoever they wanted.

No lies detected.
Replied the Mango Mussolini, "how DARE you describe me in such a factually accurate manner?!"

Except expressed with all the eloquence, self-awareness, and general emotional maturity of a two year old, of course.
I love this woman. She just kicks ass every day.
Rapist, racist, pedophile, federal criminal, criminal, Russian asset, liar, incompetent, selfish, ignorant, stupid, sunsetting…
- Whoa whoa whoa! You forgot grifter, conman, asshole, buffoon, ancient, out of touch, spoiled, narcissistic, evil, bully, dumb little bitch.
  
  Charlatan, demented, incontinent, draft dodger, ugly spray tanned baboon, for a few more
- By any objective measure, he is the most prolific traitor in American history. He is a worse Traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED. The damage he has done to America is incalculable, and possibly irreparable.
  
  Traitor should ALWAYS come first
  
  The republican congress shoulder the same blame. They can end it. They choose this madness over reason and country. They are all traitors to the country. Toss the Supreme Court in there as well. Citizens United was a death blow to democracy.
Reminder that she's not name-calling. A judge had to clarity in court that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.
- Not paying to read that
  
  Paywall removed!

- Jeez that got pretty graphic
  
  If you want graphic, you should read the description of his rape of his former wife Ivana from the court records (I believe her settlement ultimately included a clause that said she couldn't call it "rape") after a botched hair surgery.
  
  This man has always been trash. Feces made human.
People sure do seem to enjoy accusing him of shit while doing absolutely nothing about it. I wonder how long it will before everyone realizes that constantly saying he does bad shit isn’t the same thing as holding him accountable.

As long as it placates, right?
- What you expect AOC to do about it? She's not a police officer, she can't arrest him. He's already been found guilty of sexual assault and faced zero consequences for it.
  
  She could call for his impeachment, which she has done several times.
  
  I'm sure she would love nothing more than to see him held accountable, and if you know of something more that she could be doing that she hasn't already done I'm sure she would love to hear your idea.
  
  Acting like she is just saying shit to placate people but not 'holding him accountable' as if she has the power to do so but refuses is gross. There are PLENTY of do-nothing Democrats not fighting against Trump, and you want to cast shade on one of the only people in government with the guts to actually try.
  
  Just because she’s more vocal about him being a pos, doesn’t mean she’s done any more than the “do nothing democrats” have.
  
  It’s hilarious how many people are so up her ass when she’s done little more than those you all hate- aside from a few scathing speeches.
  
  Face reality- no one is doing shit about any of it. We are on our own. And masking this fact behind a bunch of “We Need to Stop This Madness” speeches, while doing nothing to stop the madness, seems to only placate the ignorant.
  
  Sadly, at the end of the day, nothing will continue to happen.
  
  And don’t mistake my words for some anti-AOC rhetoric. I think she’s amazing. However, I’m not dumb enough to believe there’s anything more to it than just that: words.
  
  But by all means. Keep rallying for more Stop the Madness speeches if they help you cope and deny reality.
  
  Nothing is going to change. Not anytime soon, and not by any means AOC has control over.
- She is doing something about it. She's doing her job. Which is to represent her constituents, vote against his policies, and hinder his agenda.
  
  What else would you have her do?
  
  So… go ahead and list what she’s doing about it.
  
  EDIT: yeah. I thought as much:
  
  Words, words, words.
One of the 13 year olds looked just like Ivanka at the time.
- I'll just leave this here...
  
  “I don’t think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure,” Trump replied. “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her."
  
  And this,
  
  “My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka,” to which Stern interjects, “by the way, your daughter.” Trump finishes Stern’s sentence by repeating “she’s beautiful.” "Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern says in the clip. “Yeah,” Trump replies.
  
  Here, have a whole list.
- The absolute least surprising thing about that situation. He's been so absolutely weird about her every time he speaks about her. Makes my fucking skin crawl.
- Any normal parent would have zero sexual thoughts about their own child. This is genetically built into your code to not have attraction. I have 4 daughters. 2 blood and 2 step. Zero sexual thoughts about any of them.
  
  Trump even mentioning it is fucked up.
  
  Maybe part of that instinct comes from raising them and spending time with them.
The video footage was doctored. Maybe innocuously, maybe not, but the files that were supposed to be the originals had been edited multiple times with Adobe software.

See other posts for articles detailing this. It's easy enough to confirm. (That alone doesn't prove extreme badness, but it does prove intent to deceive the public, as if we needed more.)
I’ve started calling him a pedophile. I’m a bit drunk (actually very drunk) right now but the point still stands
...if you have nothing to hide....
Yeah he did that shit keep it in the news
Popcorn in the microwave, extra butter on the side.
Cheung is human filth.
Allegedly died by suicide.
*whomever
- Whomeverest
  
  Actually, I'm pretty sure WhomK2 has overtaken it now or is going to
I don't think this will move the needle AOC way, calling him rapist however will only make MAGA close the ranks around him. So it may actually backfire. Lots of respect for AOC but I think that was not the moment in which such statement can have amplified effect
- Yeah no that's dumb. The man is literally a rapist and people need to fucking talk about it because nobody of consequence ever fucking does.
- Liberals say this all the time. We can't say or do X because it will just embolden MAGA! That's how you end up with feckless nothings like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Fascists need to be challenged at every opportunity.
  
  Don't leave Fetterman out of your list. He castigated his fellow Democrats for daring to call Trump a convicted felon, saying we're supposed to be the party of "forgiveness and redemption".
- Hard disagree.
  
  Everyone should be calling him a rapist, because he is.
  Also they should be talking about all the court cases for the rapes and sexual assaults as well.
  
  Ok, no, it won't change any maga 'minds'. They are too far gone, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that don't know he's a convicted rapist.
  And if they don't know that then they won't know about all the other 'alleged' 😏😏 rape and sexual assault cases
- I think she’s pointing out he’s actually a rapist.
  
  Don’t play it off like they don’t circle their wagons around him at any criticism.
  
  It's not even an insult lol It's a fact
- A rapist should be called "rapist" every time their name crosses your tongue.
- Lol read the news already. MAGA is pissed off at him for this entire issue.
