Chaya Raichik, founder of the āLibs of TikTokā account, confronted Rep.Ā Alexandria Ocasio-CortezĀ (D-N.Y.) at the Capitol after serving her an ethics complaint.
On Thursday, Raichik posted a video to the account with the caption, āI served with an ethics complaint after she lied about me in a committee hearing. AOC wasnāt in her office but then I bumped into her as I was leaving the Capitol!ā
In the video, she is joined by Mike Howell of the Heritage Oversight Project.
āI was here last week because I attempted to ask AOC why she lied about me in a committee hearing. She cowered away, she refused to talk to me,ā Raichik said.
She explained she was back at the Capitol to deliver her an ethics complaint.
Knocking on the door of Ocasio-Cortezās office, Howell said, āJust dropping off some mail for the congresswoman.ā
After delivering the ethics complaint, Raichik bumped into Ocasio-Cortez.
āI just delivered an ethics complaint to your office because you lied about me in a committee hearing,ā Raichik said.
The congresswoman replied, āUh-huh. Oh, hi! Yeah no, I actually didnāt.ā

Raichik replied, āI never inspired a bomb threat.ā
Ocasio-Cortez responded, āYouāre actually super transphobic and I never want to share a space with you!ā
She added, āThank you!ā
The āLibs of TikTokā founder proceeded to post a sticky note on Ocasio-Cortezās bulletin board, saying, āDear AOC, Iām back and youāve been served!ā
The Heritage Foundation called on the Office of Congressional Ethics to launch an investigation into Ocasio-Cortez for āfalsely accusingā and ādefamingā Raichik, per Fox News.
The foundation referred to a February hearing during which Ocasio-Cortez said Raichik lied in a tweet posted last year, saying Boston Childrenās Hospital currently offers āāgender affirming hysterectomiesā for young girls.ā
The complaint states Ocasio-Cortez violated a House ethics rule by āknowingly and intentionally defaming Chaya Raichik, creator of the viral Libs of TikTok account, falsely accusing her of lying and disseminating disinformationā¦ā
