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.

    What about Brock Allen Turner? We all remember the scumbag rapist Brock Allen Turner from Stanford, right?

      Not to sound like one of those “All Lives Matter” assholes, but I think we can agree that all rapists should be named, shamed, and sent to an island with only cacti and porcupines.

      But an important difference between DJT and BAT is that one of them is now the fucking president. Again.
