Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has won the hearts of young progressives and other liberal politicians thanks to her active social media presence and progressive activity. Her agenda frequently centers on promoting LGBTQ+ issues and growing government initiatives. AOC recently accused a conservative TikTok user of distributing fake information and lying during a committee hearing about Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in 2020. With assistance from The Heritage Foundation, the user later lodged an ethical grievance against the congresswoman. Ocasio-Cortez is unwavering in her quest of justice and support for underrepresented populations despite the opposition.
Conservatives are accused by AOC of spreading misinformation

Yoel Roth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter, was addressed by AOC during a recent House oversight session. The New York Representative questioned Roth about the contentious TikTok account Libs of TikTok, which had been circulating false information about Boston Children’s Hospital doing needless hysterectomies on transgender youngsters. Roth acknowledged that he was aware of the post despite AOC’s insistence that the allegations were untrue. The heated conversation revealed the ongoing conflict between big tech corporations and politicians over the spread of false information on social media.
A TikTok tweet from the Libs of TikTok account that asserts Boston Children’s Hospital has conducted gender change procedures on youngsters under the age of 18 has recently sparked controversy. Although many people were dubious about the claims, it appears that the medical center’s own website and quotations from one of its doctors, Dr. Frances Grimstad, support them. The subsequent debate over the morality of doing such operations on children will undoubtedly go on.
The creator of Libs of TikTok complains about AOC
Professional Output: The Heritage Fund representative and Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik visited AOC’s office recently, which caused controversy. They intended to provide the congresswoman with a formal ethics complaint. In the lawsuit, AOC was charged with purposefully defaming Raichik, and during a committee hearing, Raichik accused AOC of lying about an American citizen. The charge was published in The Washington Examiner. Following that, Libs of TikTok posted the politicians’ statement to Twitter, drawing attention to the event.
AOC first appeared content to pose for photos with Raichik. She instantly responded, “You’re actually super transphobic and I never want to share a space with you,” after learning who the person was, and then stormed out of the room.
AOC’s appearance at the Met Gala in March 2021, when she attracted substantial notice for donning a gown that read “Tax the Wealthy” on its back, is currently under investigation by the Office of House Ethics. The representative apparently also received other presents in addition to the clothing, raising questions about possible rule violations. Although AOC has now repaid the costs, the situation is still being looked into. The OCE has the authority to decide how these inquiries will be handled, and it is unclear whether any further legal action will be taken.
