Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was hit with a community note on X after attempting to link a massive rally in Puerto Rico to an anti-Trump movement.
Turns out, the rally had nothing to do with Donald Trump.
“Eyes on Puerto Rico: Tonight, Puerto Ricans amassed the second-largest political rally this ENTIRE cycle – behind only Harris’ 75k-person Ellipse speech,” AOC wrote in a post on X. “Over 50,000 Boricuas rallying for the anti-Trump, anti-corruption Alianza movement & @juandalmauPR. Political earthquake.”
“The depicted rally is the Festival de la Esperanza, hosted by the anti-colonial parties of Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana (MVC) and Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP) ahead of the next colonial elections,” the community note read. “It had nothing to do with any of the US’s main parties.”
X owner Elon Musk replied to AOC’s post with an “lol” and a screen shot of the note.

In a follow-up post on X, AOC attempted to clear up her remarks.
“I did not mention Kamala and stated this is about anti-corruption Alianza,” she wrote. “To build a coalition, it is relevant to note that PNP’s Jenniffer Gonzalez ran Latinos for Trump & campaigns on scare tactics about Dalmau cutting [Social] Security when she’s empowered cuts via membership w/GOP.”
