Seriously, could Ted Cruz file some kind of slander or defamation of character at AOC?

Ted Cruz agreed with her on going after Robinhood and this was her tweet in response:
(I copied and pasted it so y’all don’t have to go to her Twitter account and get nauseous)

“I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.

Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.

In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.”

Wtf, you can’t just accuse someone of murder without evidence.

Link to tweet if you want to see it Sen. Twitch


Edit: Oh the irony, this is her tweet yesterday about misinformation. Sounds like she might know a thing or two on how to do that. I think it’s on the first page of the Democrat’s playbook.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC

“The sad thing about disinformation is that once the truth comes out, the damage has already been done. People have already been misled, radicalized & believe lies to a point where their hatred has brewed to violence.

That’s what led to the 6th, and it’s happening right now.”

I don't know if he can, but it would be nice to see some weight applied to these outlandish statements by the left. They sensationalize everything beyond reality, and then get their version sold as the truth by the media.

She is inciting violence against Cruz and should be arrested and stripped (yeah thats on purpose) of her seat.

He probably doesn't have standing because it is about him.

If we are to believe the Democrats that Trump must be held accountable for his actions in office, even though he is out of office. Then certainly she should be held accountable as well.

He can but the courts will say "No Standing" and will never even look at the case because he has an (R) next to his name

Like Seth Rich & the 50 or so murder accusations by Hilary/Bill Clinton from Right wing kooks? Or Trump accusing Joe Scarborough of murder?


AOC isn't dead so I dont think she accused anyone of murder.

Even if he couldn't, he should. It's what the left would do.

Lion Ted is a constitutional scholar who has tried cases before the supreme court unlike AOC or you.

So did you complain in 2017 when the Dems did the same challenge to the electoral college vote? Of course not.

She's a Democrat. Democrats are allowed to falsely accuse others of rape, murder and hate crimes.

Four 4 years, Pelosi and Schiff got on tv and swore up and down that trump was a Russian agent. They incited millions of their voters to attack trump and trump supporters in any way imaginable. They were allowed to freely do that.

Ol Marjorie says some shite, and all of a sudden both sides demand she give up her seat.

Cliffs? I've been busy all morning.

FWIW, a senator/rep cannot be sued (slander) for anything they say on the floor of congress.

I don't know about committee rooms.

I'm not sure of the legal issues, but I'd say that it's hard to imagine you can say the above about anyone, let alone a sitting US Senator while you yourself is a sitting member of the House and have zero consequences.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but almost had me murdered sounds an awful lot like attempted murder, right?

Historically it is extremely difficult for a politician to lawsuit against another politician. Just look at the ads during campaigns.
Back in the day political slander was settled with a duel. I think Cruz would win that one.
