In a bizarre and hysterical Instagram video that quickly went viral after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a meltdown over Elon Musk and the popular conservative social media account, Libs of TikTok. Her rant spread a dangerous hoax about Musk and lashed out at her critics, revealing the deeply unhinged and vindictive nature of the Left’s most prominent “Squad” member.
The chaos began when Ocasio-Cortez spread a false claim that Elon Musk had performed a “Seig Heil” salute during pre-inauguration events, a dangerous and irresponsible accusation. “You’re gonna do a Seig Heil, you’re gonna do a heil Hitler — or their rebrand, a Roman salute — from behind the presidential seal of the United States of America?” AOC screeched. The truth? Musk was simply pretending to throw his heart to the crowd, not engaging in any form of Nazi-like salute. But facts didn’t seem to matter to AOC. Fueled by an obvious desire to discredit anyone on the Right, she seized the opportunity to amplify a lie for political gain.
Things escalated further as she referenced a feud with the Libs of TikTok account, which had recently shared her controversial remarks about Trump. Ocasio-Cortez had refused to attend Trump’s inauguration, claiming, “I don’t celebrate rapists.” This bold accusation was, of course, completely untrue, as Trump was never convicted of such a crime. In response, Libs of TikTok posted a clip of her words, writing, “AOC calls Trump a rapist. Another person Trump should sue.” The account also cleverly referenced Trump’s successful legal battle against ABC for similar claims, encouraging him to consider taking action against AOC for slander.
In true AOC fashion, instead of owning her words, the Congresswoman doubled down in her Instagram rant. “Libs of TikTok started crying because I said over the weekend that Donald Trump was a rapist,” she whined, clearly relishing in the drama of the situation. But it wasn’t just about Trump anymore; AOC’s meltdown quickly spiraled into incoherent ramblings about Trump being a “racist” and her apparent indifference to any legal consequences she might face for her defamatory comments. “I don’t give a damn,” she shouted, repeating the phrase multiple times, refusing to acknowledge the possible legal repercussions of her reckless statements.
Her rant continued with a sense of superiority and defiance, as AOC sneered, “You want to support a racist? That’s on you. But I don’t.” She flailed her arms, dismissing the controversy entirely, before taking one last shot at Trump’s supporters. She even mocked the death threats her office allegedly received, saying, “I don’t give a damn. I don’t give a damn.”
The viral moment reached its peak when Libs of TikTok shared the video of AOC’s meltdown on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it, “Guys I think I broke AOC.” The response was swift, with conservatives relishing the sight of AOC unraveling in real-time.
This latest spectacle only highlights the deep-seated hypocrisy and fragility of the Left’s loudest voices. AOC’s inability to take responsibility for her words and her baseless attacks on political opponents speak volumes about the growing desperation of progressives who can’t handle the reality that the Trump movement isn’t going anywhere. Meanwhile, Musk’s growing influence and Libs of TikTok’s continued exposure of leftist lies and hypocrisies are clearly getting under their skin. As AOC’s meltdown shows, the Left can dish out the drama, but they sure can’t take it.
