AOC Claims Congressman Called Her Names. He Denies, Apologizes For Tone. AOC Rejects ‘Apology’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed this week that Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) called her several names during a heated exchange, including a “f***ing b***h,” which Yoho’s office strongly denied. Yoho later offered an apology on the floor of the House of Representatives, which Ocasio-Cortez later rejected and made false claims about.

On Monday, the two had an interaction on the Capitol steps. Ocasio-Cortez claimed in an NBC News interview that she was “just kind of minding my own business” when Yoho stopped, stuck his finger in her face, called her “disgusting” and “crazy,” and said that she was “out of my freaking mind.”
