At first Raichik did not identify herself initially cozying up to take a picture with AOC. The confrontation began when Raichik identified herself to Ocasio-Cortez and told her, "I just delivered an ethics complaint to your office because you lied about me in a committee hearing." The congresswoman immediately backed away and said, "I actually didn't, because you’re actually super transphobic and I never want to share a space with you. Thank you!" before walking away.
The accusation stemmed from a tweet by Raichik in February 2022, which said Boston Children’s Hospital was "now offering ‘gender-affirming hysterectomies’ for young girls". Ocasio-Cortez had questioned a former Twitter executive about the tweet in the hearing. The Libs of TikTok creator had posted videos from the hospital where doctors said they offered gender-affirming hysterectomies.

The Heritage Foundation has asked the Office of Congressional Ethics this week to open an investigation into Ocasio-Cortez on Raichik's behalf, citing allegations of "falsely accusing" and "defaming" the creator of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account. The nine-page complaint defends Raichik’s position that Boston Children’s Hospital performs gender-affirming hysterectomies on young girls. Ocasio-Cortez’s office has not responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
