The brother of the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been forced to close the viral rumors that he is wrapped in a relief of the Fentanyl Traffic Ring, “Do not make me SA”.
Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, 32, tok Tiktok to publicly deny the accusation after a woman eliminated the false claim online earlier this week.
The original clip, which erroneously identified him as Matthew, concentrated on a false news article that declared that Democratic congressman’s brother had been involved in drug trafficking.
“I am the brother. My name is not Matthew. I have no idea why they are publishing this,” he said after the video begins on social networks.
“I work with homeless people. I have nothing to do with this story, which is all.
AOC’s brother later threatened to take legal actions against those who perpetuated lies, warning that such statements have real life consequences.
“That is all that is needed to get someone who is a bit radicalized, someone who is willing to collect their weapons and do something,” he said.
“And it would be the first time that someone has tried. That is the society in which we are, so things like this are more serious than ever, and you can’t slander people.”
