Ocasio-Cortez delivers emotional floor speech slamming Rep. Yoho's 'abusive language'
AOC says Yoho's comments are part of a 'pattern' of dehumanizing women
By Marisa Schultz | Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, backed by a team of supportive colleagues, led one hour of passionate speeches on the House floor Thursday morning calling out Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., for "dehumanizing" insults against her and slamming his attempt to apologize as falling way short.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recounted how Yoho accosted her on the Capitol steps Monday, put a finger in her face calling her "disgusting," "crazy" and "dangerous." Later, she said Yoho then called her a "f---ing b---h," which was overheard by reporters.
“I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women and using abusive language towards women,†she said.
Ocasio-Cortez said she's used to getting harassed as a woman in America, recalling her time as a bartender and rider of New York City subways, and then getting targeted by President Trump as a member of Congress.
