Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York released a video expressing why she refused to attend the second inauguration of President Donald Trump on Monday.
Ocasio-Cortez implied in her statement that she believed accusations of rape against Trump, leading many online to call on the president to file a lawsuit for defamation against her.
‘This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like.’
“All these journalists are like, ‘Congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Are you going to the inauguration?'” she said in the video on her official Instagram account.
“Let me make myself clear: I don’t celebrate rapists. So no. I’m not going to the inauguration,” she added.
