AOC to Skip Trump’s Inauguration: ‘I Don’t Celebrate Rapists’
www.thedailybeast.com
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.

    Please don’t mention Bernie anymore. They postponed him and now he’s just too old, we need to stop with the old people. AOC is a great choice, and there needs to be full backing on that because the old corporate guard has some loser in mind, I assume.

    Probably Kamala again.

        I think I am done voting for liberals. They come up with endless excuses why they cannot help the working class and when finally do anything it is to fund Israel’s genocide or to give massive wins to Republicans by banning Tiktok the day before Trump was sworn in just so he could unban it.
