A social media post circulating on August 28, 2025, from an account identified as "Arthur Kuntler 🏴️‍☠️," has made an inflammatory and unsubstantiated claim regarding prominent Democratic figures. The tweet alleges that Democratic leaders, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Chuck Schumer, plan to use a racial slur in a new rap song. This claim has quickly drawn attention online due to its provocative nature.

The tweet specifically stated, > "The Dems are going to say the 'full, real 'N-word', for sure" in their new rap, according to people familiar with the matter. "AOC, Schumer, everyone said they're DGAF and are going to do it," the post by Arthur Kuntler 🏴️‍☠️ claimed. The assertion of indifference ("DGAF") further amplified the controversial tone of the online statement.

Extensive web searches for any official statements, news reports, or credible sources supporting this claim, or any similar plans by the mentioned political figures, yielded no verifiable information. There is no evidence from reputable news organizations or official channels to corroborate the assertion made in the social media post. Neither Representative Ocasio-Cortez nor Senator Schumer have made any public statements or indications of such an intention.

This type of allegation aligns with a pattern of online misinformation campaigns that have previously targeted political figures with fabricated content. Past instances have involved doctored images and false quotes attributed to Representative Ocasio-Cortez, purporting to show her using racial slurs or engaging in controversial rap lyrics. These prior hoaxes, widely debunked by fact-checking organizations, suggest a recurring tactic of generating inflammatory content to spread false narratives.

The account "Arthur Kuntler 🏴️‍☠️" does not appear to be associated with any recognized public figure or established news source, and no further information about the account's identity or background was readily available through public searches. The nature of the claim, combined with the lack of credible sourcing and the history of similar fabrications, strongly indicates that the tweet is baseless and part of a broader trend of online disinformation.
