White nationalist Republican Ted Yoho called AOC a fucking bitch. |
He is openly feuding with Bernie Broette, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
Ocasio-Cortez, a controversial figure herself is the youngest member of the House of Representatives. She is often vilified by the far-right for being in support of democratic-socialism.
She also made enemies with the left. Some of the Democrats believe her and The Squad burned bridges.
Ocasio-Cortez (known as AOC) represents the 14th Congressional District of New York. Her district covers New York City. The district covers the eastern portion of The Bronx and a partial northern portion of Queens.
First things first, before we deal with these two, I want to acknowledge the vote on removing Confederate statues and controversial figures from the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.
The House managed to pass the resolution handily with most 232 Democrats, 72 Republicans and Rep. Justin Amash (L-MI). Amash is an independent who is considered a Libertarian. He left the Republican Party last year. Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) was one of the Republicans who voted with Democrats to remove statues. He was a Democrat when first elected. Even Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the Minority Whip and former white nationalist supported removal.
The 126 Republicans who voted against the resolution or not vote at all explain why it's hard for them to win Black and Latino voters. They claim to be the party that freed the slaves but they're the party that protects the slave owners legacies.
Yoho was one of the many Republicans who voted against the statues to be removed.
Please, don't listen to Black conservatives or Fox News when it comes to African Americans and history.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a controversial figure. |
Now onto Yoho and AOC.
Yes, I am getting tired of the Squad. That's no secret. I believe these women of color have a voice at the table in the Democratic Party. But as like most in the Squad, they're gullible to lies and distortions.
Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have faced harsh criticism during the Democratic primaries. They openly supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
The three have attacked members of the Democratic Party and believed that bullshit story from Alexandra Tara Reade Moulton McCabe. Omar pissed me off by taking the side of a woman who can't even provide documents of her time working with Biden. A woman who some claimed swindled them out of money. A woman who is mentally ill and a great actress on television.
Omar and Tlaib are facing tougher primary challengers. AOC managed to fend off her primary challenger.
AOC is concerned about the treatment of protesters being attacked by federal agents. She is also concerned about income inequality and police brutality. She made remarks on why people steal and commit criminal acts.
She believes that the coronavirus restrictions are leading to unemployment, poverty and an economic depression in the New York City. She said that crime is going up because of human nature to resistance. She clearly made a point that seemed pretty reasonable to most.
I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 21, 2020
Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.
But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/WlG3xccwR7
To Republicans, it's just another word vomit and they're not willing to support democratic-socialism.
It riled up Yoho, a hardline Trump supporter and white nationalist.
Yoho is allegedly calling a woman of color a fucking dirty bitch. He said that she's out of her freaking mind. Let me paraphrase this for those who ain't familiar.
YOHO: YOU FUCKING DIRTY BITCH! HOW DARE YOU? YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR COTTON-PICKING MIND, IF YOU THINK YOUR SOCIALIST VIEWS ARE GOING TO WORK HERE IN AMERICA!
Ocasio-Cortez was clearly offended and the House is working on a censure against Yoho.
Yoho at first denied ever calling her a bitch but he soon changed tune and sarcastically apologized for his improper wording.
AOC didn't buy the apology. She said that Yoho's remarks show the immaturity of Republicans when it comes to real issues everyone is facing.
