he doesn’t have one. if he was never in office, never ran for office, never was on tv, never was the ‘face’ of an ‘international brand’, and never was a public figure…perhaps. but the bar for him because he is those things is extraordinary high, and this ain’t even close.
CBS settled because a corrupt Trump administration could have cost them far more through acts of revenge. Settling was the cost of doing business. AOC doesn’t have any business interests a hostile, weaponised government could harm, so unless the legal system has been corrupted to the point where the government could charge her with libel (or treason or terrorism or anything else; at this point, there is no longer meaning, only power) because they say so, she has a solid defence.
I mean, she doesn’t have to last too many years, she only needs to last long enough for either the fascists to be voted out or for her to arrested by said fascists as a political enemy.

GoFundMe is a thing, and there are millions of people that would willingly donate to her legal defense fund.

CBS’s settlement was a bribe, nothing more and nothing less.
