U.S. Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday repeated an accusation that her Republican colleague Ted Yoho used a profane gender-based slur towards her earlier this week in an interaction on the Capitol steps.

“In front of reporters, Representative Yoho called me, and I quote, ‘a fucking bitch,’” she said on the House floor. “These are the words that Representative Yoho levied against a Congresswoman.”

“Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, I’m very cognizant of my language. Offensive name-calling words attributed to me by the press were never spoken to my colleague, and if they were construed that way, I apologize for their misunderstanding. I cannot apologize for my passion, for loving my God, my family and my country,” he said on the House floor.

According to the newspaper, Yoho had a brief exchange with Ocasio-Cortez in which he called her “disgusting” for previously suggesting that unemployment and poverty due to the COVID-19 pandemic is leading to a spike in crime in New York City.

it’s ok:) LOL

How many slurs have you and your group said about “OUR” president ?

So what.

Haven’t we all?

Bless her heart.

With her reaction to slander his name in public you’d wonder if she’d stop him bleeding out? I’d have more faith if she was able to laugh it off instead of bring it to the stand

Oh ffs. People call each other names all the time. Build a bridge and get the fuck over it.

U.S. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez demands equality and then whines about a man saying something mean to a young female. Fixed it.

So it’s okay for the socialist bartender to sling pejoratives at those who understand economics, but not the other way around? racist bigot MathIsHard SocialismKills AOC RepAOC DemSocialists nycDSA UsefulIdiots

Welll if the shoe fits.....wear it

Correct slur

Was it she’s a Marxist Democrat?

First,the slur was heard and reported by others,second those that feel speaking in this manner is ok because you dislike her views or some male complex, the issue of her speaking out against being treated this way is brave and that is more than could be said of your comments.

I call her lots of things. Twit that she is.

ITT keyboard cowards achieving their post-nut clarity

Oh noooo! Send him to the principals office! I bet his parents will ground him now

She should have just called him a cocksucker and called it a day. But nope......

The press reported hearing it.

But you are... so whats the problem here?

Don't think it was the first or last time.

In his defense, it was an accurate claim.
