As reported by CNBC, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to the House floor to deliver a powerful response to Rep. Ted Yoho after the two's altercation outside the Capitol. The 30-year-old congresswoman detailed how earlier in the week, while walking up the steps of the Capitol, Yoho called her “disgusting,” “crazy,” “out of [her] mind” and “dangerous” for suggesting that poverty and unemployment numbers are causing an increase in crime in New York City during the pandemic. When Ocasio-Cortez told the congressman he was being rude, he walked away, calling her a “a f---ing b----,″ which was overheard by nearby reporters outside the Capitol. “I could not allow my nieces, I could not allow the little girls that I go home to, I could not allow victims of verbal abuse and worse to see that, to see that excuse and to see our Congress accept it as legitimate and accept it as an apology and to accept silence as a form of acceptance,” Ocasio-Cortez said, while adding that having a daughter or a wife does not make a man “decent.”
