New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was publicly confronted and accused of defamation by Chaya Raichik, the brave conservative who manages the Libs of TikTok Twitter account. Raichik’s account aims to expose leftist extremism and insanity by simply posting videos of leftists on TikTok discussing their ideology or what they’re up to. Most of the videos Raichik finds and posts have to do with the promotion of LGBTQ ideology and adult leftists promoting gender changes.
AOC attacked Raichik and the Libs of TikTok account in a Congressional hearing, saying that the account was engaged in “lying and disseminating disinformation.” For example, at one point during the hearing, she said: “Are you aware that, from Aug. 11 to Aug. 16, [the Libs of TikTok] account posted false information about Boston Children’s Hospital claiming that they were providing hysterectomies to children?”
Well, it turns out that the hospital was offering “gender affirmation surgery services to eligible adolescents and young adults who are ready to take this step in their journey.” So, the Heritage Foundation filed an ethics complaint over the matter, accusing AOC of defamation.
Raichik then confronted AOC in public and on camera, pretending to pose for a photo and claiming that AOC lied about her in that hearing. Specifically, while posing for the video, she said, “I just delivered an ethics complaint to your office because you lied about me in a committee hearing,” AOC proceeded to lose it, saying, “You’re actually super transphobic and I never wanna share a space with you.”
The Heritage Foundation, in its tweet announcing the complaint, said, “We don’t appreciate members of Congress lying, especially about American citizens. That’s why Heritage’s @OversightPR filed a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate @AOC for lying about @libsoftiktok creator @ChayaRaichik10.”
Adding to those posts, the Libs of TikTok account also said, “Last week I attempted to talk with AOC about using her position of power to lie about an American citizen. She refused to meet so I was forced to go to the next step and file an ethics complaint. Stop cowering @AOC!”
And, tweeting about the interaction itself and posting a video of AOC having her meltdown over meeting the controversial conservative personality, said, “BREAKING: I served @AOC with an ethics complaint after she lied about me in a committee hearing. AOC wasn’t in her office but then I bumped into her as I was leaving the Capitol!”
Watch the interaction here:
Commenting on the tweet, one individual noted how weird it was that AOC could, as if flipping a switch, go from being positive and friendly to being so angry and refusing to even be polite, saying, “It’s amazing how quickly she can switch from a friendly photo to accusing you of being transphobic. I guess she’ll just continue to lie about you.” Replying to that comment, another commenter said, “It’s a defense mechanism, she can’t help it.”
