‘F***ing b**ch!’: Republican congressman goes off on AOC over her ‘justifying’ New York’s crime wave

All decorum was reportedly thrown out of a Congress window when a Republican Representative confronted Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a hostile and very personal way, for seemingly vindicating New York's crime wave.

Ted Yoho, a lawmaker from Florida, had a very colorful exchange with New York Representative Ocasio-Cortez, which has been overheard by a reporter for The Hill.

At first Yoho called the congresswoman “disgusting” for suggesting that the recent spike in New York City crime is the result of the coronavirus-driven rise of local poverty and unemployment.

“You are out of your freaking mind,” he then added, as Ocasio-Cortez began exiting the ‘conversation.’

Yoho then dropped “f***ing b***h” as he walked away.

Ocasio-Cortez later told The Hill that though she was “no stranger” to hostility, she never had “that kind of abrupt, disgusting kind of disrespect” levied at her.

However after this, on Twitter, the congresswoman decided to noticeably shift her tone by saying that “b*tches” get stuff done.”

Yoho has denied the reporting from the Hill and said he did not call Ocasio-Cortez "any name." He blasted the outlet for trying to get more "attention" by inventing the name-calling.

Yoho's alleged comment would have been in reaction to the remarks Ocasio-Cortez made at a July 9 virtual town hall meeting. She suggested that “policing is not the solution” to a recent spike in her city’s crime levels, opining that instead it stemmed from the “economic desperation” caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The remark caused a furious response in US conservative ranks, who attacked AOC for seemingly justifying violence. She was eventually forced to explain that she was not talking about shootings or other violent crimes.
