[quote]In a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, Yoho told Ocasio-Cortez she was "disgusting" for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

"You are out of your freaking mind," Yoho told her.

Ocasio-Cortez shot back, telling Yoho he was being "rude."

The two then parted ways. Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.

"F****** bitch," he said.[/quote][/quote]

Well doesn't that put a nice cap on this discussion.  [/quote]

He was *alleged* to have said that.  This is the statement from his office:

Yoho's communications director told CNN in a statement that the congressman "had a brief member to member conversation on the steps of the Capitol. As you know, these conversations happen frequently when the House is in session."
"He did not call Rep. Ocasio-Cortez what has been reported in the Hill or any name for that matter. It sounds better for the Hill newspaper and gets more media attention to say he called her a name - which he did not do. It is unfortunate that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is using this exchange to gain personal attention," the spokesman said.
