On Monday, Republican Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida confronted Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York on the steps of the Capitol with an aggressive and brazenly misogynistic personal attack. Yoho approached Ocasio-Cortez about her position — that poverty and unemployment contributed to an increase in crime in New York — and during a brief discussion said she was “disgusting,” according to a reporter from The Hill who overheard the exchange. Ocasio-Cortez responded that he was being rude, and Yoho walked away, saying “f**king bitch” as he descended the steps, according to the Hill reporter, Mike Lillis.
