Idaho Rally Erupts In Cheers After AOC Epically Blasts 'Criminal' Trump In Blistering Speech

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was on hand for a rally in Nampa, Idaho, alongside Senator Bernie Sanders on Monday—and she let loose on President Trump.

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned President Donald Trump at a rally in Nampa, Idaho, calling him a “criminal,” a liar, and a “rapist,” and reiterated her earlier statements that some members of Congress might have participated in insider trading after it was revealed that NASDAQ call volume spiked just minutes before Trump's tariffs pause announcement.

Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, stressed that the pause was "all about manipulating the markets so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning."


She added:

"Boise, this is a matter of fact. Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud! Liable for sexual abuse! Of course he’s lying and abusing and manipulating the stock market too!"
"When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror!"

The crowd roared in response.

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Ocasio-Cortez couldn't be clearer.

She is, after all, talking about same man who has spent years lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and was convicted last year on 34 felony counts, including falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.

This is the same man who a jury ruled was responsible for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages as the appropriate consequences for Trump's persistent dissemination of false defamatory statements after Carroll said Trump had sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City.

Oh, and did we mention that this is the same man who has falsely claimed that President Joe Biden is behind his prosecution in the now-dismissed election interference case, and that he is the victim of a "witch hunt?" The same man who says he is entitled to personal attacks against his political opponents and suggested they be tried before military tribunals?

While that doesn't even scratch the surface—consider how Trump continues to attack democratic institutions and most recently is attempting to bend universities to his will—many agreed wholeheartedly with AOC's remarks.


Democrats have found it challenging to effectively respond to Trump, his billionaire ally Elon Musk, and congressional Republicans following their defeat in last year’s election.

Polling indicates that approval of the party and its congressional representatives is at record lows. However, Sanders' and Ocasio-Cortez's efforts seem to be gaining traction with many across the country. Tens of thousands of people have turned out at their rallies, which are part of the "Fight the Oligarchy" tour, across multiple states.

Last month, Ocasio-Cortez criticized Musk for questioning the legitimacy of the crowd at one of her rallies, advising he find a more "interesting conspiracy theory to peddle."

Infectious Diseases Expert Speaks Out After MAGA Makes Predictably Unfounded Claim About Hantavirus

For those unaware, ivermectin is an FDA-approved antiparasitic medication used to treat conditions caused by parasitic worms as well as external parasites like lice.

Parasites are organisms that depend on a host to both survive and spread. There are three main types of parasites that call humans home—the endoparasites protozoa and helminths (worms), which cause infection inside the body, and ectoparasites, which cause infection superficially within or on the skin.
