Ocasio-Cortez Accosted by GOP Lawmaker

n a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by The Hill, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) told Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) she was “disgusting” for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

Said Yoho: “You are out of your freaking mind.”

Ocasio-Cortez shot back, telling Yoho he was being “rude.” The two then parted ways.

Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular: “Fucking bitch.”

When you walk away from a disagreement calling someone names, you lost the argument.
