Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to the House floor on Thursday to respond to comments made by Rep. Ted Yoho the day before in an attempted apology after he reportedly called her a “fucking bitch” earlier in the week.
The Florida Republican has repeatedly denied that he uttered vulgar language at the New York Democrat, which was overheard by a reporter for The Hill. According to the outlet, Yoho accosted Ocasio-Cortez on the steps of the Capitol on Tuesday, saying she was “disgusting” before making the “fucking bitch” comment once she had walked away.
